Solar power, battery storage, all the power things. Sure it’s all fun stuff and one day I will master the BBQ.

@Ed_Miliband Engage with the established solar network in local areas. We are here to deliver expertise and quality. #SolarNation network of established high quality installers.

Today's Sun Day Times.
Heavily edited and not one mention of why we do what we do, but hey, all publicity is good publicity right?

[Simon Smith @solarsimon]

How not to fix your solar roofing system down. Overtightened and sheared under load. All fixed now with new mounting system, wiring and a good clean up.

[Simon Smith @solarsimon]

Nice bit of @Primarypro1 insulation and @Intatec components for this @SamsungUK air source heat pump recently completed near Fareham.

[Simon Smith @solarsimon]

Getting that Primary Pro insulation right. Best setup for heat pump installations.

@TheSolarShed @Ed_Miliband Our standard on this is to encourage car ports in these public spaces. They allow for easy installation without the need for any intrusion on the operation of the building. In addition you get super easy maintenance and very low asset risk for the site. A big + for insurance

@SmartRGW @OctopusEnergy @RippleEnergy @g__j @pete_miller @agile_phil @SpeakSarahSpeak @RdgHydro I had to scratch it all off. I’m still not sure what the point was. Happy to have a new baby octopudding though.

[Simon Smith @solarsimon]

Solar looking beautiful. @ViridianSolar with zinc edge and top profiling. @SolarEdgePV inverter and batteries next.

[Simon Smith @solarsimon]

@TheSolarShed @Telegraph @DailyMailUK I’m at 32kWh of storage now. Charges easily for the PV during the day. Dumps 27kWh into the van every night. Smart solar charger at the weekend chargers the van and the car fully. Batteries in winter use low rate overnight to reduce LCOE.

@TheSolarShed @myenergiuk You’ll be busy watching arrows 😂

[Simon Smith @solarsimon]

@OctopusEnergy I just stayed in Norwich. That’s dedication for you.

[Simon Smith @solarsimon]

@Shell_Recharge get in touch so I can sort payment please. Your bank account won’t verify. Ta muchly.

[Simon Smith @solarsimon]

@Shell_Recharge lovely new chargers at Tot Hill services. Shame they don’t work via the app. What’s occurring? Worked perfectly before the remodel.

[Simon Smith @solarsimon]

@TheSolarShed How many do you need and have you tried the TP030 yet?

[Simon Smith @solarsimon]

@TheSolarShed AC coupled would be no issue as does not affect FiT at all. Swapping to a hybrid with necessary change to generation meter would be an issue and potentially risk their investment.

[Simon Smith @solarsimon]

@joinbonnet @TotalEnergies Shell rapids would be good. Can’t start a charge with them via app on the @OctopusEnergy Electroverse App and to don’t have all shell stations. Would be handy for sure.

[Simon Smith @solarsimon]

Great night and awarded this for our install at the Cameron’s Cottage project. Thanks @Midea and @freedomheatpump

[Simon Smith @solarsimon]

#SavingSessions via @OctopusEnergy using the solar PV and battery storage to shift energy usage made this a zero effort win. Investment in renewable energy tech is the way forward.

@joinbonnet Recently took the Vivaro-E from Fareham UK to Amsterdam. Infrastructure outside of France was great. Bonnet worked great, just a shame I couldn’t use any of my stored credit.
