The negativity here at Nowty Towers is getting better,
Over the past month, the Octopus is paying me over £150 to take as much energy as I need to run the house and 2 EV's.

I wish City Plumbing would stop their free delivery and ever cheaper panels,
I still make over £30 profit this month after buying two more panels.
450W DMEGC panels at little over £60
, oooohhh another tier 1 manufacturer I've never heard of.

And I did not even notice they are bifacial, I'll have to invest in a roll of bacofoil for that little bit extra.
