Windows 10 should be able to open it...4.8kWp 12x400W Longhi 9.6 kWh battery Giv-hy 5.0 Inverter, WSW facing Essex . Aint no sunshine ☀️ Octopus gas fixed dec 24 @ 5.74 tracker again+ Octopus Intelligent Flux leccy0

I agree, but I've tried but cannot find a way to open it?0

Double click it
Alternatively , right click it and "extract files"
Or, download and use 7-zip

Edit : the trouble you're having may be email client/browser related.
If the above doesnt work, then save the attachment first, then use it from the saved location

Don't download any programs, WIndows 10 can extract zip files....
Right Click:0 -
I'd be a bit concerned that if Win 10 can't open it then it may not be a zip file at all, in which case you're probably better off not opening it.0

^^ seconded ..
One of the many ways to get unwitting users to double click exe files is to give them a winzip "clamp" icon0
