Did you know 195,000 homes in the UK added solar panels over the last year? No me neither! That's the equivalent of 1 every 3 minutes. Someone's been busy! To find out more, please watch this short video! www.electrifymyhome.co.uk/post/195000-...

I knew the UK was embracing solar panels because I can see them appearing on homes all around me. What I didn't realise was that over the last year enough homes aded solar to average one every three...

You can’t leave a pension in your will. You need to tell the pension provider or trustees who you want the money to go to if you die, it’s done via a nomination form or expression of wishes form. Make sure yours is done and up to date. Clip courtesy of @thismorningitv.bsky.social

We’ve got vents in a glass roof that open when it’s hot I noticed one was playing up and talking to the manufacturer it can’t be mended (boo). So I ordered a new one and fitted it myself. I’ve got a real sense of achievement compared to simply paying someone to fit it! #diy_Dave

The months fly by don't they?? Here's my look into the energy we used in August which included enough to drive 2,000 miles in our EVs, plus run the air conditioning more or less non-stop, for the princely sum of just £43. www.electrifymyhome.co.uk/post/our-aug... #petrolisexpensive

Our air conditioning worked hard again in August, and we drove 2,000 odd miles in our EVs too. Yet, with a combination of our solar generation and cheap, off-peak electricity, our electricity cost jus...

Back in May, this family installed solar & a battery, courtesy of the #warmhomesgrant It was a very sunny summer, but even so the results are remarkable. They've cut their costs by 87% and saved £150 You can find out more in this video! #warmhomesgrant #solarandbattery youtu.be/KHvqlSueUuQ

Like many others I’m trying alternative mapping sofrware. I’ve not driven far yet, but a few local journeys via TomTom and I quite like this data screen. I’ve got some longer trips planned so we’ll see how well it copes with those soon. #tomtom #lakeontario

This is my first time travelling long distance in a battery-electric coach: Utrecht to Berlin. I'm excited for this trip - we'll need to stop at an HDV charging hub for a charge, great to see one in action.

Before smart phones I used a Tom Tom as my car Sat Nav - it stuck on the windscreen with a sucker. It was ace. With all this renaming lakes nonsense, I suddenly wondered if they have an App these days. They do! Tom Tom is Dutch, so am going to use that not Google Maps or Waze in future.

One of our Lifx smart bulbs is playing up. Looking back we’ve had it since 2018 and it’s on every evening. No idea how many hours that is, but it’s a lot. Time flies because it didn’t think we’d had it more than ‘a few years!’ Not cheap to replace at £20, but that’s technology for you.

There’s a layby up the road from the house. Often uses by folks as they relax with N2O canisters and takeaway food. Picking up the usual detritus after a visit I couldn’t help wondering if someone thought “let’s get McDonald’s and a pregnancy test and pop up the maybe and see what the result is!”

Even if you're not on the Octopus Agile tariff, please consider charging your EVs tomorrow daytime. Developers and operators of solar parks will thank you! NESO would like it too – the grid gets trickier (more expensive) to manage when transmission network demand is low.
