Solar Panel Production Update - August 2022. My First Full Month on Octopus Go 

Great information, many thanks

I enjoyed this video, thank you. I'm currently waiting for a 4.2kw solar/9.5kWh battery system to be installed. I'm already on Octopus Go so I'm looking forward to working out how to best use this with the battery. Interesting you said you sometimes used it to partially charge the battery. I suspect the weather forecast will become compulsory viewing! It will probably make sense to fill the battery up using the cheap rate on dark winter days?

Standing charge should be intergrated to allow those without solar and money control their usage! Great video btw!

Just starting trying to get quotes for 6kw solar with 5kwh battery in Cambridge area now. So far no responses.....

Great vid cheers Daniel, I’m just waiting on my install date of 12 panels, 9.5kw battery and a 5kw slave, so have been waiting intently on your progress, I’m toying with the idea of a water heater or electric boiler, but need to do a fair bit more research on them before I take the leap. I have seen some better prices for export than 4.1p on Go though 🤔

Hello daniel, Great video. can i ask in which city are you?

I was looking to compare my production. Thanks for video. You live for saving ATM which I understand as I was keen as well. Overall about the same per month on 3.6kW cap (890kW), but your Jinko seems to produce slightly more then my 2-3 years old JA solar. I can not watch all your videos so what model do you have? I would like to figure out what panels produce more per the same illumination. Older and newer JA solar looks the same on paper but different is massive and I wonder if it is just date of production. I am east midlands and my new JA solar had more then twice of your production on 25th. and I believe it was very similar for whole UK. I wish there is more people posting detailed production and model of panels to figure out which is the best for next upgrade ;). I would like to do it as well soon but really short of time. Keep going, very useful.

Thank you Daniel. How does the output of your south facing array compare to the east one?

How are you on this sunny morning in 🌏Goonellabah on North Coast NSW🌏? We will install 934,370m2 PV and 28.8MW Batteries by the end of 2023. 1. 250 prefabricated CLT & SIPform passive house-certified homes. On the roofs of buildings, the Tractile, the excess electricity will be stored in the 28.8MW Tesla Batteries Farm. 2. The PV in total 934,370m2 - Tractile tiles 45,000m2 and Arctech Solar Tracking - Tesla PV panel 887,400m2 3. Bi-Charging of EV one per house and 12 charging stations in the shopping centre. 4. Micro-grid that connects to a community of 4800 residents

Those figures on the surface you pretty good, however what is the total investment cost £15k or higher

I've seen someone making a lot more on export by using octopus agile tariff.

A great spec - but shame you decide on the Chinese panels. Jinko impress on paper spec but the longevity isn't there. I'm an installer and have had several Jinko and Trina panels start to fail after the first 8-12 years. (connector corrosion, connector failure, delamination etc.)

I've just confirmed my solar pv and battery install and I'm finding your videos really useful. I'm on a fix until next April, but will want to move to octopus go when I can, although I've not got an EV. Do you know if they'll still allow me to switch?

I have ordered today 10x405w JA Solar panels, 5kw givenergy inverter and 5.2kw battery plus installation. 5kw inverter because I'm planning add 5 panels next year. What do you think is the givenergy good choice ?

Looks like octopus blocked creation new accounts I tried use referral link however there is just phone number when I'm trying open new accout.

I got my 8kw solar panels in march 22.....how funny
