C'est toujours impressionnant d'observer l'agilité d'une pieuvre se faufilant à travers un minuscule trou dépassant à peine 2 centimètres de diamètre ! 🐙 :shibahearteyes:

(Le seul os de son corps c'est son bec, utile pour manger, le reste c'est des tissus mous, si bien que la seule contrainte pour pouvoir traverser n'importe trou, c'est qu'il soit plus large que son bec)

I got a lot of feedback on my #HomeAssistant energy dashboard last night. I thought you might like to see what it looks like this morning after the overnight #OctopusAgile charge. It used 4 slots.

You can there is a very small amount of solar. I will post another one when the solar kicks in. Might not be today ☹️🌦️

Just published my solar generation numbers for February on my blog.

I have just posted my latest blog post. This one is how we use our LuxPowerTek Inverter with Octopus Agile

Applied to join Octopus Agile Export today after my FIT fiasco with E-On ended after two years. Hopefully this move will go smoother.

I have also setup my Hildebrand Bright account. I am considering buying a Glow to integrate with Home Assistant.

@Annela I am yet to join SEG. It is a long story and I will write about it on the site once it is sorted.

An interesting day today. There was much more sun that predicted so the battery got back to 100% and is 92% at the moment. I am sure at midnight when the battery stops discharging it will still be highly charged. I don’t expect it to use all 4 Agile slots tonight.

The Octopus Agile rate for the past few weeks hasn’t been its best. I don’t want to say it bad, it was 10p per kWh cheaper than the 35p we would be paying.

We have been charging the battery with 3 slots and it cost around £2.60 to get the battery to around 70%.

Last night the rate was around 11p. It cost £3.10 to charge the battery to 100% with 4 slots. Hopefully the rate will be good overnight while we have some poor sun days

Best overnight Octopus Agile tariff slots for some time.

According to Solcast looks like this might be a perfect day for our panels.

The back panels still struggle as the sun doesn’t get high enough, but looking good.

You can see I topped up the battery overnight with three Agile slots

So home storage batteries without Solar, anyone have any info. Thinking of getting in 10kw of home storage battery and a suitable inverter then using Octopus Agile to charge during zero or - cost energy times. Then using that during the day (as the zero/negative unit cost is usually overnight).

Any suggestions pro or con. Can't get Solar just yet as need a reroof to do that so would have to be a solar capable system so could be retrofitted later.

#OctopusAgile #RenewableEnergy #ClimateChaos Am I right in thinking that one of the best things everyone can do for the climate (in terms of green energy) is to avoid using electricity at peak times? If we could flatten the demand for electricity then the need for gas fired power stations would reduce, and the national grid could rely more on renewables. It’s a collective approach that anyone should do. If you switch to Octopus Agile you can reinforce that through financial motivates too.

@timaikin incredible… so over the last month I could have saved almost £85 if had been on #OctopusAgile instead of my (what I thought to be reasonably cheap) pre-energy crisis fix rate… 🫢 very intriguing!

@drstevenhale if it needs charging then generally gets plugged in as soon as get home. We’re on a fix we took out just before the energy market madness so our kWh is way cheaper than anything on offer as an #OctopusGo or #OctopusAgile tariff currently!
