More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Yeah that is the sort of price I was expecting. How much for solar alone out of curiosity? Not looked at that as much, and not sure how much load I could shift to daytime, suppose you could just set some things to daytime without even checking the solar output and on average the solar will cover a good chunk of their usage. It just goes against my instinct to minmax it.
I wonder how much power they make in winter, could set the heating (heat pump) higher during the day to benefit from generally having some of the power coming from solar
Quick edit: looks like you can get fairly good export rates, at least half the rate you pay for energy. So might be worth just exporting more with more panels instead of getting a battery.
