We've used ZapMap in the past, but we don't go out of home range very often. But we've recently moved to Octopus and set up with Electroverse, as others have mentioned.
At the moment, though, we're charging off free sunlight. :cool:
Well, we seem to be generating this morning, despite the gloomy, wet weather! The new system is 14 panels plus a 13kwh GivEnergy battery. We also have the extra box required to keep the house fully powered in the event of power cuts - we previously assumed all systems would keep running, but...
Thought I’d bounce this thread, as it’s been dormant for exactly two years…
We’ve been having a solar and battery system installed over the last couple of days, and the guys are just in the commissioning process. Looking forward to seeing how well it all works.
Any other recent solar newbies?
I’ve only used the Sport mode once on my e208. Floored it from a standing start and was almost immediately 10mph over the speed limit, uphill! Eco all the way now
I barely use the brakes on my Peugeot e208. My driving style is “relaxed”, and the car has a “brake mode” which is effectively engine-braking combined with regenerative charging. Brilliant for the local winding hill roads. And the e208 is probably lighter than most other EVs.
I don’t think every area in the UK has the same annual influx of tourists as we do in Cornwall, and we have the additional problem of being at the far end of the country. Treliske can’t cope with the local population outside the tourist season, and the tourists don’t bring extra funding.
