@blog I've been able to integrate fairly well with Home assistant. I've looked into Predbat to see if I can integrate some weather prediction, so we can utilise as much self generated power as possible, but it also seems that by switching to SEG export (our solar install is older and we're on FIT export) I can earn more exporting excess power during the day than it costs me to charge the battery at night, so strongly tempted to switch and continue fully charging the battery at night.
@blog I was allowed to splash out on a 13.5KWh system last year, just as the days started to get shorter, so we've had limited opportunity to store electricity we've generated. However we have been able to switch to a tariff with low priced electricity overnight, which we've been taking full advantage of to charge the battery. Most days we've not needed to use any grid electricity during the day!

I'm not sure whether I've mentioned before that I volunteer at a local charity called Remake Scotland. Tonight I was honoured to be presented with this certificate and badge, having volunteered, primarily as part of their repair cafe, for over 4 years now.
I started volunteering at Remake shortly after moving to Crieff, having been amazed and inspired by the number of social organisations there are in Crieff and wanting to give something back to the local community I'd joined.
Martin SettleCanada Post is a service, not a consumer product. The idea that it operates at a "loss" is stupid. It's like saying schools operate at a loss; hospitals operate at a loss; roads operate at a loss; sewers operates at a loss.
We pay for public services collectively, because they are simply needed for our society for function and for everyone to have (relatively) equal access to participate in culture/society/democracy.
Stop reducing necessary services to an income statement!

@neil though I'm not actually leaving the UK when using a vpn.
@neil I guess the best analogy I can come up with is, if I travel to another country and do something that's legal there, but illegal here (say something in Amsterdam), should the government be asking travel firms to stop taking passengers too those countries?
