A reminder that it's on now!

I'm currently pulling 8kW from the grid, at least while the sun's behind clouds ⛅

Just got a smart meter installed...from the rest of the comments it doesn't look like I'm going to earn much money back from the free sessions 🙈 
What do people find use the most energy?? I'm going to put dishwasher, washing machine on, then bake or make a Sunday roast!

Baking and roasts are good , but it’s only for an hour, so if it’s a 2 hour cooking then it’s effectively 1/2 price.

I think it’s better than half price as the expensive bit is the initial heating of the oven (or washing machine or dishwasher)

As long as you don't bake/roast normally at that time of day of course.

Just plugged in the car today and will for tomorrows sesh as well.  

too messy when the sun is shining to use anything else as it’s tricky with the solar battery.

"we’ll send you an invite for the double session. It could land sooner than you think!"

Well looking at predicted generation, I think it will be Sunday morning.
