The case for Octopus Agile (with solar panels)
At the beginning of the month I decided to switch to Octopus Agile. Previously I was reckoning that it was only worthwhile with a battery so you could take advantage of cheap times for import and expensive times for export. However 2021 is a very different summer to 2020. All the times are expensive for import. The daily…

Hybrid inverters
I've been looking a little into hybrid inverters with battery and it seems that givenergy has a good developing Web portal and app, however I've been told that the maximum the 3.6kw inverter can do is 3.6kw combined solar and battery which doesn't seem a lot when some house loads can spike quite high.

Octopus Energy & FIT payments
I seem to have run in to a spot of bother with my present FIT 'agent', Octopus Energy. It seems to me that energy suppliers don't really like the hassle of having to handle FIT payments, something that doesn't earn them much revenue I suspect. So you don't get 'great service' from them if all they do is process FIT…

New to Solar PV and getting quotes
Waiting on my Tesla Model 3 being delivered and decided I would look into getting Solar PV installed. I wouldn't be doing this on the basis of ROI but more along the lines of cheaper fuel for the car and saving house running costs. I've done some research but don't have any particular allegiance to any brands. My house has…
