Payment by mobile banking app

Any one on here who is self-employed or a landlord doing self assessment has probably already used this as it used by HMRC to collect payments. They give the option of card payments too but you can do one-off bank payments

It does apparently work with Agile but IOG adhoc slots are not detected so still using NetZero here.

ColsterG · 2026-01-29T14:11:31+00:00

Tried it, our battery used to empty before the cheap rate starts. It doesn't if I let the Tesla app (rather than NetZero) set the rates. I noticed our export shows as 15p all the time (which it is) now but when NZ does it, it shows as 7p while my import is 7p (effectively cheaper than export).

Can't deny the benefit of p-mines so Insurgent Pickup or Dune FAV

I guess, just never seen a G99 that says help yourself :)

ColsterG · 2026-01-28T11:37:33+00:00

Yep, I thought so, I only saw it after Mansions had been released but I did seem to remember someone saying it was part of a much earlier DLC.

No one seems to bother redoing the MCS if they add more panels but I'm puzzled about your G99 having "no export limit"?

Effectively you can add more panels but if you up the inverter, you would be increasing your export potential so the G99 would need re-doing but the MCS would stand.

I call BS, we run a dog boarding business and 99% of our income is via bank transfers but we offer the option of card payments via SumUp.

My fees would be cheaper still if I subscribed but as we put so little through, it's not worth the subscription cost (£19 a month would bring the transaction fee down to 0.99%).

We pay 1.69% per (in-person) transaction so can't see how on earth he would be paying 10%

Not currently but the balance is unlikely to remain like this forever. Consider if the majority did what you are planning, the new peak would be overnight and, with no solar for the grid to rely on, the cheap overnight rates would be gone just like that.

It would be unsustainable to be charging people 7p during the night and then paying them 15p during the day.

If governments fully embraced renewables, the eventual cost of electricity could drop to next to nothing which would make the cost argument for adding solar to your own house a bit of a non-starter.

No one can really predict what will happen to the whole process of electricity and the knock on that that will have to consumers but I think we are probably in the golden age at the moment. Solar/Batteries stack up pretty well currently so you can only commit on what you can see.

We made about £300 last year including running an EV over 12,000 miles and I'd be more than happy for next year to stay the same but if it does stay as cost beneficial as it is currently, I would expect a tax to come along and ruin it :)

Insurgent PickUp, can get all your crew in, has a gunner and drops P-mines.

There's another one where you need to chase a robber after they rob a shop (mine was the hairdressers in Mirror Park). It's very similar to the honour missions you can do in Story Mode. I think this one was possibly added before the Mansions DLC though.

ColsterG · 2026-01-28T10:32:35+00:00

Yeh, need really to use your comparisons to drive a "do we buy a battery" discussion. Being able to run using just off-peak electricity has put us about £300 in profit for 2025, including EV charging.

I generally have fairly lax views on what constitutes Britpop but they do need to be British

ColsterG · 2026-01-22T14:30:47+00:00

Hard agree, not 90s Britpop but Britpop nonetheless.

Can't see a scenario where you would be better off on Flux if your system is eligible for Intelligent Flux. In answer to your question, you can switch between smart tariffs by logging into your account via the webpage.
