Was ironic the light show was accompanied by absolute calm
Saw our names in lights. That's an hour of my life I'll never get back!

Providing the dates suit we shall be there, as we were for Graig Fatha.
East coast, lat 51.97. 8.26kw SSE, 23° pitch + 0.59kw WSW vertical. Nissan Leaf plus Zappi charger and 2 x ASHP's. Givenergy 8.2 & 9.5 kWh batts, 2 x 3 kW ac inverters. Indra V2H . CoCharger Host, Interest in Ripple Energy & Abundance.1 -
Unfortunately I missed the opportunity to invest in Graig Fatha. Ironically I've since moved to Wales, so would now stand a chance of getting some actual GF electrons out of my sockets!
Kirk Hill should make a nice road trip for the MG5, with stops at Tebay Services, en route.1 -

Tebay Services looks interesting, if a little out of our way, but certainly worth considering for a second top up!

Had the first months payment into my Octopus account from the Kirk Hill installation.. under £7. I hope it gets a lot windier over winter

A similar amount here @MickeyDuck it's not huge but then it's mid summer so not critical I bought into it for additional generation in winter months to help offset our deficit then. Historically the wind blows harder then so like you hoping for improving figures as the months roll along. But hey, at least we've locked in low price energy for the next 25 years or so, if not for us, then what a legacy to pass on.
