Contrary to the title, I don't sell solar. I do provide everyone free guidance though, so you can make the right buying decisions...

@deloreancars Yeah, I’d certainly like to understand more about DNOs make their determinations…

@GaryDoesSolar I wasn't allowed a second powerwall because SSE insisted on considering "fault current" of solar (8kW) + powerwall peak (5kW each) despite powerwalls being G100 compliant, and had no answer when I asked "why not just fit a bi-directional 50A breaker on the solar & batt?"

So many people getting solar these days are being limited on their export and also their inverter size. My latest video looks at why and what can be done about that: youtu.be/Bvpl9pvg8zk

@EmyrEva5246531 thanks—now I know it’s a fair wad of cash, but I’ve heard of offers >£20K to go 3-phase… 😳

@GaryDoesSolar Great video, Gary. I was given a 3kW G99 export limit by SPEN, despite me haveing a 3.68kW G98 export for the last 15 years! Just been quoted £4,000 to go three-phase, I'm weighing up options at the moment.

@NeedsMustBeFed Next one is on DNO export and generation limits, but one after that will likely be my views on Plug In Solar 👍🏻

@NeedsMustBeFed Yeah, in the UK you can have electricity import and export from different providers 👍🏻

@GaryDoesSolar just had a thought. Given that one has to have a separate MPAN for import and export, is there any reason import and export have to be the same provider?

Solar export rates cut to 12p. And it may only get worse. My 2025 analysis shows most solar exports happen when the grid least needs them, while evening power is worth far more. Flat export may be under pressure. @OctopusEnergy energy-stats.uk/solar-export-r…

Octopus Energy has so many smart tariffs that it can be tricky to know which is best for your own particular situation. Fear not though, my latest video gives you the lowdown on all the main ones: youtu.be/lgcWYb8_hjY @OctopusEnergy

As someone who’s looking to get a heat pump (but has received conflicting heat loss calculations from two providers), Mick’s work here is invaluable 🙏
