On Jan 22nd 2025 I had solar panels and a battery installed at my house. Since then I have had 9 months straight of ZERO bills. Yes that’s correct… ZERO. Not only that, my energy provider has PAID ME £671.56 of credit for excess energy I sent back to the grid. Incredible!

@Daractenus What an iconic thread, bookmarked 😆

Given that Trump supporters seem to think of Europe as an underdeveloped backwater where people live in underground holes and bow hunt rats for a meal, it might be worth revisiting this short thread tackling common U.S. stereotypes about Europe and American exceptionalism.🧵

@KenjiCapital How can it be losing money when it’s earning 650mill a year? At that rate it will have covered its build costs in just 4 years. Granted, it’s not 650m of profit but it SURELY can’t cost anywhere close to 650m to run the place, there has to be profit in that figure.

How long until The Sphere becomes profitable?? Right now it’s generating ~$650M+ in annual revenue…and still losing money. The thing cost $2.3B to build!

We’re determined to tackle energy affordability for families. This winter, nearly 6 million households will receive £150 off their energy bills through the Warm Home Discount. If you're eligible, look out for a letter telling you what to do next. 👉 gov.uk/government/new…

It was nice to see the sun for an hour or so today… Best day of Solar for a good couple of weeks ☀️ 7.3kwh generated for the day and a 4.2kwh peak… Winter is coming ❄️

@CraigSpillard @lembitopik That’s really surprising that you only just covered the standing charge in September… I exported £68.44 in September which covered both my electric & gas bills for the whole month and still left me with credit left over.

@JBurchellYT @lembitopik The battery is where the main saving is. I’m coming up to 2 years now. September just about covered the standing charge. October won’t cover it. I exported £13.50 in February.

Labour Ed Miliband says renewable energy cuts fuel bills. Rubbish. Green energy raises bills. Miliband’s idiotic carbon dioxide hatred shows his ignorance on climate physics. We All pay more for his net zero nonsense.

@CraigSpillard @lembitopik Of course it depends how much you spend in electricity every month, but from Feb-sept 2025 Iv had a negative bill every single month. I have 13 panels and a 9.5kwh battery.

@JBurchellYT @lembitopik I have solar too, and it’s significantly reduced my bill, but there is no way that you are covering even the standing charge in the winter months. Over the last 12 months there is only one month I’ve had a negative bill. This month my export is £5.84 with 14 panels.

@CraigSpillard @lembitopik It’s a fact. Iv been paid a credit on my energy account for 10 months straight. ZERO BILLS FOR 10 MONTHS. Solar panels are the way forward. Cheap, sustainable and gives you independence from rising prices… what could you not love about it.

@JBurchellYT @lembitopik Not a chance.

@TollRoomers In what sense was it misleading?

@JBurchellYT It’s misleading just like i thought it would be. Most docs these days are this way one way or the other.

HBO documentary ‘The Alabama Solution’ needs to be watched by as many people as possible. One of the saddest and most harrowing documentaries Iv ever watched, showcasing the corruption of the prison system in America. This film will stay with you long after it ends…

Get off the energy Price Cap if you can, you’re ripping yourself off. A snippet from the new ‘Home Energy Bills Question Time’ Martin Lewis Podcast available on BBC Sounds bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…, Apple, Spotify & all the usual pod players.

@OCpatriot_ @IanJaeger29 What a way to say ‘I haven’t read the book’ without actually saying it.

@IanJaeger29 It was a garbage book anyway, one of his worst stories.

I am proud to say I will not be watching Stephen King’s new movie The Long Walk which stars Mark Hamill. This movie will almost certainly flop.

@MartinSLewis If you are on a Price Cap Tariff you really need to switch to a CHEAPER FIXED DEAL. share.octopus.energy/sky-run-676 Octopus Energy have fixed rate tariffs that are cheaper than the price cap AND you can get £50 free credit on your account just for signing up with my link above 👍🏻

@Sam_Eng22 @MartinSLewis The real reason bills are high is due to electric prices being priced against the cost of gas, which is purely down to government decided not to decouple the costs. As soon as electric is priced on its own, the cost will fall, as long as it’s tied to gas, it won’t.

@MartinSLewis What Martin Lewis wont tell you is that Net Zero is driving up your bills like theres no tomorrow. Why cant this bloke just be honest with people?

@DividendRob It’s unbelievable how simple that plan is but how ridiculously effective it is at the same time.

I never thought that it’d be so simple but buying ETFs and doing absolutely nothing is my entire wealth plan.

@thewealthdad Higher utility bills in summer? Sounds like you need to invest in solar panels and a battery system… problem solved 👌🏻

Idk how you sickos think summer is the best season. Hot/sticky (always showering), bugs, sun doesn't go down until 830-9pm, higher utility bills. EASILY the most overrated season of them all.
