United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
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.

I’ve got two 250w panels set up feeding a 1kwh battery box/inverter which in turn feeds my ‘fridge and works as a UPS.
Around the solstice I can run it all about 12-14hrs but even a month later it’s down to 8-10 already, never mind winter, and with current rates it’s at least a 10 year payback. I don’t really understand the financials of microsolar. It seems like something that scales better if the building management put it up rather than individuals with 400w on the balcony.
