I've just been updating our monthly stats for how much we generate from our solar array, and how much electricity we've consumed. My aim has been to reach the point where we generate as much in one year as we consume, and we're now super close! Only 100 kWh net consumption over the last year!

I recently reduced my video output from weekly to fortnightly to give myself some time to build a new tool to help people with solar and batteries in the UK choose the best tariff. It's been complicated but I'm nearly there! I'm excited to share the results soon. Just a few more tweaks.

During this latest heat wave Kat and I have been grateful for the decision we made three years ago to go with an air-to-air heat pump system for our home, that provides both heating and cooling (it's air conditioning but not many people know it can heat as well as cool).
