get moose to install it for you, so your electricity can have a nice bluesy tone off it, or a good hard crunch when you want.

If the price difference is 2500 and it's a ten year deal thats 5€ a week to make it someone elses problem if it goes wrong.

Well i was thinking more if it's all certified and what not the home insurance will mop up the issues when the core has meltdown or whatever

I was using capital E for a while

Then I found Alt+0128 which I remember cos the Modern Lovers Roadrunner has 128 in it

Ctrl, alt and 4. At least on windows on 'puter.

I have strong feelings about people not knowing/not bothered about knowing how to do a €. Especially people like bank managers, they can't even capably type their own job description. And its been over twenty years since the weird e first appeared.

Oh I don't mean you. If you don't know you don't know and try to find out, or copy and paste it off the webz, I do mostly mean people who don't care or don't think it matters when it really does, i.e. bank managers.

Re home battery. Are you selling your excess electricity back to the grid?
We sell at .21c per K/wt and the cheap night rate is .13k/wt.
So it works out cheaper to use the night boost than it would be to used battery saved power saved during the day.
We've also realised that we can get away with just charging the car for the cheaper rate between 2 and 4am.

oh also update: remember that thread where I talked about the night rate timing being fucked up by the clocks changing. Well, they corrected it eventually.

I meant to get back on that too, it was a fault with the Electric Ireland app rather than the meters. I know someone.

Figures, the app is bad at the best of times.

Oh! Who are you with? I looked at smart rates my current provider was offering and night wasn't very much cheaper than day. I don't really have anything to spend electricity on at night - no car to charge. Mostly I just feel very possessive of my electricity that I personally made and I don't want to share it with the grid if I can hoard it all to myself.

We seem to be saving a decent amount now we’re on the smart meter rates. We just charge the car and run the washing machine & dishwasher between 2am-4am. Plan will be to fill the battery overnight too.

Electric Ireland night boost:

The solar is great these days. Getting around 16/17 kw/h per day from it. Using about 10 of that and exporting the rest. Importing around 2 per day. Trying to decide what to spend that 30c on.

 

[Anthony]

We're the same as Pete. Night Boost. Without the gas though.

on a couple of occasions, in a bid to seem like the cool uncle, or 'cool friend of your parents', i've been known to opine to much younger people 'don't grow old, it gets very boring, you get too interested in things like the price of home heating oil'.
