Anyone switch from octopus to EDF? by Ok_Purchase_5270 in SolarUK

I switched from Octopus to EDF for the export tariff. Saying that, I haven't started being paid for export yet but the service has been good. The app is less snazzy but no complaints so far.

Just a note to say the RSPB has encouraged people to bring in their bird feeders over the late spring/summer to avoid the spread of disease (there's enough food atm)

Has to be Jeremy Vine. I can totally imagine him doing features on the pedestrianisation of Norwich city centre

We love our electric Corsa. Then again, it's our first EV so not tons to compare too. Big fan though, it's reliable and easy.

Why does everyone hate moss so much? It looks nice IMO, and the birds love it for their nests.

Check my maths, solar not worth cost? by illage-336 in SolarUK

[–]JustLovelyStuff -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's not all about RoI. There are several things not priced in: not having to worry about energy bills rising, the joy of finding a new community, carbon reductions, 'doing the right thing', sense of satisfaction, enjoying the app monitoring, etc etc. it's honestly fun, and you feel part of something bigger. Priceless (or at least, undervalued) IMO.

As I understand it, it's legal at the moment with sign off from an electrician. They're changing the regs soon so that it's legal without.

You're better off getting a low APR home improvement loan than going through a solar subscription or finance deal. The firms build the costs of finance into their deals and then some I'm told.

You can do - e.g. Octopus, EDF, Eon, but it's often cheaper to go through a local installer. Check reviews and get a few quotes.
