I also have a Givenergy battery and Octopus Intelligent Go rate. I do fill up the battery at 7.5p and discharge to grid at 15p. Yes you are benefitting the grid ad well as yourself. You are helping to balance the grid by contributing to refuce the use of gas during the day and then consuming excess renewable electricity st night. There are heavy penalties levied when curtailment of renewable energy generation is nevessary, which is more likely to ocurr at night. In my area we also have frequent Octopus Powerup sessions when all electricity is free, and thst is also to help reduce curtailment penslties, mostly during high wind conditions.

Here in the Southwest, our 3.76kWp system produced 596 kWhr for June, which I don't think is unreasonable considering it's over 10 years old now.

Hi Dale here in mid wales not to far from you 1447 kw for June about 50 kw less than 2023 👍👍👍 well just checked and about 75 miles didn’t think it was that far

I charge overnight and sell back more in the day, simply because grid is much lower in CO2 overnight. So there’s net benefit if I buy at 50g/kwh and sell and 100g/kwh. Don’t discharge batteries to sell back yet however.

Surely your helping the grid or they wouldn’t give you the charge/discharge rates. Make hay I say, battery’s should be good for it and warranted for the cycles too.

Thanks for the update, I am down 100kw compared to last June in Kent

Thankyou!

Great, thx 🎉❤

Great video! I'm 7 out of 9 exams passed and just soloed. Can't wait to be confident enough to XC solo :)

Shame on you, at your age you should know better. You do know that riding these things in public places is illegal.

I have only had my smart meter for 3 days but the person who fitted was very kind, helpful, and polite

youre the fucking man

I’m sure I’ve seen this aircraft at Coventry Airport

Congratulations Dale

Been watching these videos and I decided to use sponge. It's plyable, absorbs impact, and is cost effective

Thank you, straight to the point.

Hi Dale Once again an awesome video! I’ve passed all nine theoretical exams now. I wanted to know how much exam revision & prep time you put in for the FRTOL exam? Thanks once again

Sweet, thank you, Dude 😊

Thanks for the update. We're just about to have 3.8kWp of solar installed. Once I get me smart meter installed (I'm currently on an old wheel meter), I'll be trying to export as much as possible. Eon are currently paying 16.5 Pence per unit on export, but charging 6.9 Pence per unit for 7 hours cheap rate. So it's better to send the excess energy to the grid at 16.5p per unit, and heat the hot water at night for 6.9p per unit. Until the new meter goes in, I'm expecting to see a huge reduction in units recorded by my old meter, as it'll be counting backwards when the panels are producing. Charging the car will mean I'll not submit a negative meter reading, even through the rest of this summer.

Hi, im in the process of having panels and a 10kw battery installed. Im leaning towards the Jinko Tiger Neo N type panels, is that what youve got and are they a good panel? Also do you think 7kw invertor is too big for a 7kw panel array? I cant seem to get a straight forward answer :)

Had my smart meter fitted two weeks ago. Last week it said I used £21 for the week. I pay between £350 and £500 a month and I have 16 solar panels. If the IHD is correct I have been being overcharged for years.

Great video Dale. I have the same set up with with one 9.5kw battery but considering a second. Are you able to confirm how long it would take to charge the battery from empty to full based on your experience?

I have a similar system except it's a 3.6kW Hybrid inverter & same 9.5kWh batteries x 2. 10 x 420w panels ESE & 5 x 430w panels NW. Zappi & an Eddi too. Don't use the Eddi much now because of my new tariff. After switching to Octopus Intel Go I totally changed my strategy of trying to use as much generation as possible. Now, I charge the batteries every night irrespective of the next day weather. I also charge the EV & run any appliances overnight at 7.5p/kWh. Come sun up the batteries are pretty full so, after a short top up from solar, I'm exporting any & all of my solar, excluding any house load, for for the rest of the day @15p/kWh. For me May was the 1st negative bill month of the year & June will be the same through to probably late October. After that we will rely on the batteries for daytime power. I still have a gas boiler which is only 5 years old so not worth me replacing yet with Air to Air or A2W heat pumps. I have an A2A system in our conservatory for cooling & heating. Mostly used for winter heating. I have also had a few issues with my GE batteries. BMS over temperature warnings & State of Charge reading errors. GE did a remote slow calibration which seems to have settled it down but I still get the odd BMS over temp error come up now & then. The GE Community Forum is a good place to get information & ask questions but I guess you already know this. My only regret - not getting a larger capacity inverter. My 3.6kW Hybrid can easily be swamped if too many appliances are running at the same time forcing extra power to be used from the grid during the daytime. I'm still trying to educate my wife that having the washing machine, dishwasher, iron & kettle on all at the same time is not good. Hope you get your batteries sorted.

Hi Dale I hope you get the issues sorted with the battery. I was wondering if you have started to get your export MPAN and if so what was or is the time frame octopus energy gave you ? . Also I was wondering how the ev mower if I can call it that is going any issues? Cheers

Thanks - I will be watching 👍

Just purchased this product. Your instructional video has proved most helpful. Particularly you comments regarding the battery size.

Hey - I’ve just watched your video (part 2)… you say you were supplied with stuff that changed from what was initially detailed… I’ve had loads of errors - told panels would be 475w and would measure 1722 by 1134. However what arrived were 1906 by 1134 - which didn’t fit my roof. I’ve had such issues with my supplier… I wondered if it was the same supplier? Did you take any action against the supplier?? Thanks 😊

Quick and to the point, solved my problem, well done and thank you!

Can i change it to 2.4mm or else?

Not even got one of these cars yet but looks like a great thing to do fairly early on when I do.

Thanks for this. Ive just purchased a 6ft by 15ft one for my cats. Im going to put it together myself simply due to the fact that the quotes i had for help were stupid money.

Hi Dale, we were at popham Popham just yesterday for a cuppa with my dad for Father’s Day and to watch the planes. 👍

Great video dale … I like your landings - you grease all of them 😍

Great stuff. I enjoyed all your PPL videos and actually just my license. How have you found the 172? I learned in a PA28 but seems like all the club aircraft are impossible to take away for any length of time so considering a 172 share.

Great video Dale. I particularly liked the flyover of M5 jnc11a which I frequently use. Also the flyover of Kemble airfield. As an apprentice with GPO telephones I can recall being driven down the runway many times in a GPO Morris van!!! The Red Arrows were based there in those days.

Very useful video. I have two questions, firstly whilst I see you need to enable bluetooth on your phone to connect initially does the mini subsequently link to your phone via wi-fi/mobile network once setup is complete allowing bluetooth to be turned off (I don't leave bluetooth on as it flattens my phone battery really fast). Also is there any evidence to show that the Octopus mini is secure and doesn't pose any risk to network security?

Followed this yesterday, was super easy to do. Makes a massive difference. Thanks for posting. Really appreciate it. Great help.

Previous 6 port ryobi charger - RC18627 - was unrealiable crap. When it was charging it was charging but sometimes it decided it won't charge anything (batteries inserted for a few days). The fix was removing batteries and inserting these again. Does RC18640 have the same problem?

Hi do we need to open the app on the phone and keep it open for the device to work or the device works without the app open on the phone?

Looks great, look at optimizers to address shading. We are installers.

Thanks for your videos. I've got to get all mine finished by the end of June and I have 3 to do. Flight, planning, Principles of Flight and Communications. It's going to be tight but I reckon I can still do it (otherwise I have to do all 9 again!). One question I have though - do they give you the cosine for the stalling speed at 45 degree angle of bank? Otherwise how the hell would you work that out unless you have a scientific calculator? Even working out the square root of the cosine answer would be a bit fiddly. Your info on this would help me prep my exam so thanks in advance for that. Ian

Great Video! Quick question, did you disconnect the Solar Panel from the Nemo IDDX1230 and swap them over to the new MPPT unit that you added?? (I see the top right terminal of the NEMO is unconnected which is the PV+ connection). I have a hero camper where the NEMO is being used to also charge the battery via solar (Non-MPPT however). As far as I am aware anyways.

Thanks à lot Man ! I was looking for months for the solution it was jammed on red witness light ! Today i will again breathe Fresh purified air !

in reality, in a small room, a 2kwh heater consumes 100-300W, it is not on all the time

I have the same outdoor light just installed it, How do you use this sensor to activate the lights but then turn the lights off after say 1minute, my light is by the front door being used as a porch light to unlock the door when home from work but then I want it to switch off till motion is detected again later on Not have it stay on all nights. Is that possible?

Thank you for sharing this! Am currently installing the same stove, and this really helps validate my approach to cutting the hole correctly. The clamps I've found especially confusing, so I'm really happy you showed them in action.

Thank you. Very informative. So, after you plug into the car on these settings do you then press the plus (boost) button?

hey, I am looking to get the pre made bases so had a quick Google for a review vid. Glad I found this. Order is in. Thanks for uploading.

I've just ordered one from amazon for tomorrow. Thank you for this information

Still have the bike?
