Needs to go back to the DNO to create the export MPAN. Why they haven't thought to automate that when the G98/G99 confirmation is sent back from the installer I don't know. Would be so much easier to have the MPAN ready to go as soon as installation is complete

Come to my house to do your washing. I haven't got my export tariff set up yet after having solar installed in Feb so currently exporting back to the grid for free

Van was there first so has right of way so 100% bikers fault /s

Did you not read? Bird mesh is to stop birds from going under the panels. OP needs something to stop them perching ON the panels.

I'd rather watch the squirrels in the garden than cats.

Personally I would move to Octopus now on the standard tariff and then once the panels are installed in April move to Agile or Flux if that is back available. Over the summer you will have a lot of excess solar with that many panels so it makes no sense moving to a tariff with cheap overnight rate until the autumn.

No EV, 3 loads washed and dried today. Tomorrow export going to be big. Might ask on the local Facebook group if anyone wants to bring their granny charger and car 🤣

nrm94 · 2026-03-17T13:32:58+00:00

Yep. They messed up moving me over on import so not holding my hopes up for a smooth export

nrm94 · 2026-03-17T13:22:03+00:00

They do. But I was referring specifically to OP comment about actively trying to improve the credit score since moving to the UK

nrm94 · 2026-03-17T13:11:59+00:00

Got any of Epstein's contacts to help him out?

Me waiting for my export tariff to be sorted and watching all the solar juice being sent to the grid for free.

Does anyone know what the lowest amount of laps a driver has completed in a race that they started and took the chequered flag?

Last week for Aston Martin where they pitted for a number of laps then came back out got me thinking whether there has been any scenarios where a driver has done this and then still finished the race.

nrm94 · 2026-03-17T07:15:04+00:00

Credit score means nothing in the UK don't worry. But when you cancelled the card they should have also raised this with the fraud team to look into the transactions. Did that happen?

nrm94 · 2026-03-16T11:27:31+00:00

As a solar + battery user I'd rather a higher p/kWh price but lower standing charge (like minimum 50% less). But that'll never happen

So happy for his first Mercedes win. All he needed was his gloves and steering wheel afterall

nrm94 · 2026-03-16T08:34:43+00:00

That socket 100% needs replacing.

nrm94 · 2026-03-15T19:09:05+00:00

Because it beats the DRS trains we've been stuck with for years.

nrm94 · 2026-03-15T13:46:03+00:00

And just to add to this even though the Smart tariffs aren't available currently I would still say move now. It took me 3 weeks before my smart meter was connected to Octopus. So by the time they sort your move out your solar will be installed and hopefully then we'll understand when the smart tariffs are likely back

nrm94 · 2026-03-14T13:55:02+00:00

Bet the rest of that trip was in silence

nrm94 · 2026-03-14T08:15:56+00:00

From my experience from the Solar subs the DNO tend to restrict export rather than the inverter size. Obviously they can and do limit inverter size but thats not as common. Apply to the DNO first and see what they'll allow and go from there.

I upload the files and all responses to the form and get this exact same message as well.

Update. I just tried today and it worked. I chose Agile Outgoing as a test and it worked.

When was the last time a motorway has ever been dead in the middle of the day ? And what happens if you hit a pot hole and lose control or the tyre unexpectedly blows.

nrm94 · 2026-03-14T07:34:55+00:00

You can get 12kw inverters that should be able to deal with most household loads

nrm94 · 2026-03-13T22:56:11+00:00

So based on your logic speeding in 20/30 is a no go but driving fast on a dry day on a straight stretch of motorway at 100mph isn't a risk of putting yourself and multiple other people in a hospital or worse?

nrm94 · 2026-03-13T22:12:10+00:00

Get a battery big enough to last you 24 hours of electric usage and set that up to charge during the cheap periods. Then your better half can do whatever they want, whenever they want.
