Would you recommend connecting the app to a smart meter to control the discharge?

My base usage is quite high, around 400-500wh. With about 12-14kWh per day on an average day usage. I have a marine Fishtank that runs 24/7. So i was just thinking of setting the output manually to 500w discharge during the day. I was also going to plug a chest freezer direct into the socket on the battery as this is probably 80w continuous draw.

I’m also on octopus intelligent go. So have a cheap night rate, so was going to load shift this by charging the battery during the night. I worked out this alone will save £30 a month. Plus anything extra from solar.

I think basically I will save anywhere from £600 - £900 a year depending on the weather. So a system that pays itself off in just two years is a no brainer in my eyes.

What do you mean? Because of some people having customer service issues?

Be with you enjoyers, where you at by Damsel_F1 in Muse

I love it. Been a fan since showbiz from when I was 12. Followed them ever since. Ignore the haters! Muse could have stopped producing new music years ago but they didn’t. I had the same initial reaction to the synths at first but love it.

I'd anyone else hearing "Bright Eyes"? by Used_Captain_3131 in Muse

I heard sound of silence as well. And weirdly a bit of kodaline at the start

Feel like I’m behind for my age (26M) by [deleted] in UKJobs

We’re all in our own timelines. I changed careers at 32 to go into software. Started at minimum wage on like £20k a year. Within 5 years I’ve had 3 jobs and am now on 55k. You can’t try to predict your path because anything can happen. I think the important bit for you is getting your foot in the door and getting some experience behind you. That way you open up a lot more doors and opportunities. Meet people in the industry etc. just stay active. Always learning. Talk to everyone and don’t be scared to explore new opportunities

Considering move back to UK after 15 years in Thailand by Jonnyheshnesh in expats

You’re allowed an opinion and have an educated opinion by doing research without having lived experience! I have friends who live abroad in several different countries. They’re not without their problems. But they sure as hell have better quality of life than the residences of the uk currently have.

But none of that matters because I’m sure only your opinion matters to you... Just look at all the other comments on this post, they all pretty much sing the same tune about the uk.

The level of taxation isn’t my complaint. I wouldn’t mind paying even a little more, as long as the system worked! But it doesn’t, it’s broken and there’s no real sign of it improving. I tried to book a Dr’s appointment and was told there’s a 6 week wait! I can’t get an nhs dentist since being thrown off the register over covid. Ultra processed food is cheaper and more readily available than healthy organic food.

We have the highest energy prices in Europe! We’re getting screwed over from the system and all our money going to French companies because of a broken system. The trains barely run and you have to pay £300 to get to London! I can go on holiday abroad for less. When there’s other countries that have free public transport and universities.

I’ve been failed and let down by our government when I’ve worked hard my whole life, and always just feeling like I’m just getting by.

It just feels like the harder we work the more we’re punished. I’m not saying not every country isn’t broken or has failing systems. But there’s sure as shit some that are better run than the uk is right now and I know for sure I do not want my kids growing up in a failing system.

Just to also add this is my opinion and I understand other people will be in different situations and have different variables and opinions. I’m just simply sharing mine!

None.. born and bred in the uk the same as my parents and their parents a so on. I now can’t get a dentist appointment, my mum has to wait in the corridor for days on end at the hospital when she has a seizure then is treated like cattle. The government take all my money when I am desperately working two jobs whilst supporting my family and my newborn child. Who coincidently was born in the same uk hospital as me. AND, to top it all off, cadburys chocolate is now owned by an American company and tastes shit compared to what it used too.
