The negativity here at Nowty Towers is getting better, :mrgreen:

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, :SOS:

I still make over £30 profit this month after buying two more panels. :twisted:

450W DMEGC panels at little over £60 :whako: , oooohhh another tier 1 manufacturer I've never heard of. :mrgreen:

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