Came in useful today.Managed to clear a bit more snow off today and it was sunnier.So, 0.17 O today.Looks like most of the snow will be gone by tomorrow eveningAll the rest of the snow slid off the panels today, but a rather dull day. Just 0.24 O for the day.Regarding Octopus Go or Go Faster tariffs, you can't get a quote via comparison sites, as they are not listed. You need to work out the figures yourself and then apply to Octopus. Our current average rate on Go Faster is less than 10p/kWh. If we had a battery, or were using the EV's more, it would probably be even lower.
