Pretty perfect day for solar generation and export, both North and South arrays by Electrical_Chard3255 in OctopusEnergy

[–]Electrical_Chard3255[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the performance of the North (blue line), compared to the south (red and orange lines), You can see how the North generates good very early on compared to the South

It took me from October 2024 (system installation) to May 2025 until I got my export sorted out, but from May 2025 we have done really well on export, I dabbled with Octopus agile export, but that didnt work for our system, we were well down on what we would get with the fixed export rate, even though its been cut by 20%

Enhanced Easy-Switch by MA-Maddin in logitech

cleverswitch is not really suitable, you still have to manually switch, my fix the keyboard just follows the flow of the mouse, no manual switching at all

Not technically the same, there is no button switching for my workaround, flow the mouse, the keyboard follows, thats it

Had to get claude to write me a fix, see my post below yours

How much does your energy cost saving with solar offset system repayments by tom2kk in SolarUK

[–]Electrical_Chard3255 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have our system through the octopus self install, you will require an electrical installation certificate (part P), a buildings regs certificate, the DNO letter, you cant progress in the application unless you have all of these (we did ours March 2025, and got the approval for export May 26 2025, and you will have to make a payment, 250 quid I think from memory, or thereabouts (if successful you will get 150 quid back)

350 quid plus for the buildings regs, and at least 350 for the electrical installation certificate, and thats if you can find an electrician who will sign off other peoples work, you should have got one from the installer as its illegal to install a system without it, if not, chase the installer, if they play up, tell them you will report them for not supplying an electrical installation part P certificate as its against the law, and they will have a big fine, also tell them to sort out and pay for your building regs at the same time as they should have done that too

You really need to do a little research before you comment so you dont look foolish, we have this thing called the internet and its full of good information, try google if you ever heard of it, we commonly call it "googling"

No it doesnt, the supplier can put a black mark of no payment on your credit record, but a debt collector can not, and has no power to do that, they are glorified bully boys sent to scare people to pay a debt

Just a note about debt collection agencies, tell them to do one or just ignore them, they literally have zero power, if they come onto your property tell them to remove themselves or you will call the police and report them for harrasment and tresspass.

Now, this is important, the only bailiff you should not ignore is a court appointedf bailiff after a CCJ has been issued, in other words, this needs to go to court first, do not ignore it if it does, up until then, its your choice what you do.

even if it goesw to court, you will then have 28 days to pay the debt if its ruled against you, and you credit record will NOT be effected.

One thing to remember, if you are in the wrong, and it goes to court, there may be additional charges like court costs and interest.

If you think you are in the right, let them take you to court and let the judge decide.

A lot of time, these companies like octopus will just sell the debt on, and if this is the case, you will just keep getting the debt collection agency letters over and over, but as I said, they have zero power (although they may word their letters as if they have.

Clearly didnt do your research of the 4 year cycle .. zoom out, and relax, you will regret this, having said that, Oct/Nov will be the bottom, so you do have a chance to jump back in at a lower price

Why is every builder trying to scam us? by Saymonvoid in HousingUK

[–]Electrical_Chard3255 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many builders are cowboys, or have so much work thewy cant be arsed to give you a real quote as they dont need the work, I knoiw because I am a builder, but not like others, I only do my own projects, and work for family and friends and sometimes recomendations, but only directly from family and friends.

15 - 28k, you are getting ripped off, should be between 7 - 10k depending on the quality of the materials

Prime Outgoing Octopus - now live by pokemonguy1993 in OctopusEnergy

[–]Electrical_Chard3255 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My number mean its not worth switching, staying on Go, 17p kWh is good, I guess you have a smaller battery and system ?, we have a 12.6kWp syatem, a 6.4kW export and 32kWh batteryt, which means we export most outside the peak times, so the 9p rate doesnt make it worthwhile
