  13. We smashed our August solar record, beating our previous high by 58.4k kWh! ☀️ Even with the heat waves and AC running, production stayed strong (though it did mean less spare energy for export). 🌡️⚡

  14. An analysis carried out for the Guardian has found that in areas with the fewest sunny days, solar panels could bring annual savings of about £450 a year on the average household electricity bill. In areas with the brightest skies, this figure could climb to more than £600.

    Findings provided by the UK solar firm Recharge Renewable.

  15. July was a scorcher! ☀️ We smashed our production records, hitting a new high and beating our previous July record by 171.90 kWh. Despite the heat, we kept costs low with smart battery management and the Intelligent Octopus Go tariff. Check out how we managed to achieve a negative bill this month! ⚡️

  16. #Cuba - #Solarpowered #tricycles help #Cubans navigate #FuelShortages and blockades

    By ANDREA RODRÍGUEZ
    Updated 4:38 PM UTC, July 10, 2026

    HAVANA (AP) — "Cuba’s iconic vintage cars have all but disappeared and in their place, small electric tricycles — most of them made in China — have become the primary means of transportation for hundreds of thousands of Cubans grappling with a prolonged fuel crisis.
    These are no ordinary electric tricycles — many Cubans have outfitted them with #SolarPanels, allowing the vehicles to recharge without relying on the island nation’s strained power grid.

    "The three-wheelers are a far cry from the old-timers that only a year ago cruised the streets spewing clouds of black smoke.

    " 'This is how people get around now,' said 40-year-old Liecer de la Cruz, who owns one of these vehicles.

    "The tricycles, with a cost between $2,000 and $4,000, are used to transport goods and serve fixed routes once covered by buses.

    "While their price is out of reach for most Cubans, many have sold their older gasoline-powered cars to buy the tricycles. Others got them from relatives abroad, where they are generally cheaper, and some small-business owners even used their profits to invest in them, expecting to recoup the cost."

  17. The worst June for solar production in four years.

    Despite some wet weather that led to lower-than-usual production, we still kept our costs incredibly low. Check out the full breakdown of our stats, including our battery performance and huge savings this month! ☀️🔋

  18. What an optimised month! ⚡️ Integrating the VW ID.3 and adopting a new battery strategy led to record self-sufficiency (99.63%!) & massive savings (£168.62!). Our solar system is working smarter than ever. Click for full details on our efficiency gains and cost breakdown

  19. ☀️ Our best April yet! We're thrilled to share our solar generation report. Record April production (610 kWh!) covered 91% of our house usage and resulted in huge savings compared to the new price cap. The West/North facing panels are now coming more and more into play.

  20. Ever since I got some new #Inverter and #Batteries for my #SolarPanels, I’ve been looking for a way to process the data they produce. To be sure, the manufacturer has a nice #WebApp but I wanted something I could tinker with. Therefore, a while ago, I bought a #HomeAssistantGreen, which is basically a #RaspberryPi #SBC which is pre-loaded with #HAOS and so is a functioning #HomeAssistant instance.

  21. I finally got our daily electricity cost graph working in Home Assistant! 📈 Plotly can be a steep learning curve, but a little Claude help made this visualisation happen. The biggest issue I had was calculating the export savings.

  23. The solar production for March was 342.10 kWh which was surprisingly good. It is our second best March ever as you can see here.

    It was going to be a tough compare to last years remarkable, 407.30 kWh

  25. So, here are a few #SolarPunkSunday topics that I plan on tackling in the near-future:

    - #Rainbarrels, #Cisterns, #Graywater use and systems
    - #ToyLibraries (in the US and elsewhere)
    - #SolarPanels and #Farming
    - How to make #Lime and #LimeMortar from scratch
    - Dealing with #Batteries and #HazardousWaste while #SpringCleaning
    - Seasoning #CastIron pans.

    I would love to hear suggestions for future SPS topics! Feel free to chime in!

  29. Dear Fediverse,

    Do you have a podcast you would be happy having archived?

    I've been working on a mad project combining #cyberdecks #homelab mini racks and #recycling old tech. I'm in the process of writing it all up so hopefully will publish soon.
    It means I've got a portable low power pseudo-server cluster which would work well as an archive - I recently read that podcasts are at risk of disappearing and while #internetarchive does a wonderful job I thought it would be fun to have another archive.

    Let me know if you are interested! I only want to host podcasts if given permission
