* Considering a cheap rate of 7.5p/kWh, and a daytime rate of 31.407p/kWh. Draining your home battery overnight (for say EV charging) will result in you needing to charge your battery during the day. If 50% of your charge is from solar, on a 9.5kWh battery, the extra over charge per month would be 4.75kWh * 23.907p/kWh = £1.13 per charge. Charging your battery every other day would result in an additional cost of £206 per year.
Following the outage earlier this week, I’ve decided to move the website/service to a new hosting provider. While the outage prompted the timing, it wasn’t the only reason.
The key benefit of the move is increased computing resources, which are essential given that the site processes hundreds of commands every 30 minutes.
The migration will start at 11 am Saturday, 16th November. Unfortunately, migration can take 24–48 hours, but it is often much quicker.
During this time:
If you’d like me to temporarily pause your settings at 11 am to allow manual control, please let me know. I will also be able to access the settings during the majority of the migration for last minute changes.
