@g__j Thanks to you for getting involved and thanks to all the octopus teams, my solar install is completed with all 12 panels. Special shout out to the installation team, Daniel, Ed, Hayden, Mark and Dylan, fantastic job.

@jet2tweets having a lovely time in Skiathos, and the weather is amazing.

[Iain Goodhew @IainGoodhew]

Apparently the regulations changed between me signing the contract and time to install. To the consumer, it looks more like a 'bait and switch' move.

[Iain Goodhew @IainGoodhew]

@g__j Feel really let down by Octopus Energy Services Limited on my solar/battery journey. I feel no option than to pull out of the green install after signing for a Telsa Powerwall and 12 panels, but later being told that I can only have 8 panels.

[Iain Goodhew @IainGoodhew]

The team insist they cannot install over roof vents, despite being told at the initial sales pitch, this was not an issue. It will make my roof look like some sort of solar patch work and only generate 2/3rd of the original estimated energy.

@jet2tweets 🍫Smashing the celebrations every time.

@BigJetTVLIVE if you are filming early at LHR tomorrow you could see the de-orbit burn from the dragon crew-6 mission

[Average Энергия enjoyer @EnergiaRocket]

⚠️ FOR WESTERN EUROPE ⚠️
TOMORROW AROUND 05:55 UTC

Deorbit burn of the second stage of the Crew-6 launch is likely to occur above the English Channel around 05:55 UTC.

This time of day is perfect for it to be VERY visible from at least 500km away.
More details below ⤵️

⁦@BigJetTVLIVE⁩ big enough to get noticed by the uk tv ratings https://t.co/5UkVKryMDv

[Iain Goodhew @IainGoodhew]

@alexellisuk Why no overnight pressure and humidity readings? I’d be interested to see how the humidity falls with temperature.

[Iain Goodhew @IainGoodhew]

@alexellisuk They are mains powered, with the shortest mains lead possible. Not the exact seller but this is similar https://t.co/Aep04f2TT4

@alexellisuk The light is a 10W RGB garden light I had spare, set to give out red and blue light. Not the best of grow lights, but does work ok when you start your seed so early in the year and there is not enough daylight hours.

[Iain Goodhew @IainGoodhew]

@alexellisuk Tomatoes now…

[Iain Goodhew @IainGoodhew]

@alexellisuk Mcp3008 a/d converter and 4 op-amps. 2 measure voltage, 2 measure current. The rest are calculated values of power and energy. MOSFET controls charge battery or disconnect when full. The rest is in software. Dot net core running under Docker.

[Iain Goodhew @IainGoodhew]

@alexellisuk Here is grafana, on a sunny day last year. By lunchtime, the battery is fully charged, the charge current falls to zero, and the solar voltage goes to about 20V with hardly any load. I didn’t do any write up, but it’s about time to set it up again, so maybe this year.

[Iain Goodhew @IainGoodhew]

@alexellisuk The pi logged all the temperatures and voltages to influx and grafana. Was mostly an experiment to see how well it worked. You need a reasonable sized battery to be able to last several days of poor sunshine. I never got more than 10W out the panel, but it was from eBay.
