I found some time to add a couple of really helpful quality of life improvements to my solar tariff optimiser tool recently. And then I made a video about them, as you do:

Bumped into a couple of fellow YouTubers while at Everything Electric Farnborough today (@tillathenun.bsky.social and UpsideDownFork). Plus loads of viewers said hello, which was lovely. Going back tomorrow so if we missed you today feel free to say hello tomorrow. Great job, @bobbyllew.bsky.social

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! #solar

We got out of the cave and have now listened to the episode. Turned out pretty well, I thought, although I'm annoyed they didn't mention the YouTube channel like they said they would.
This got postponed to today, and will be on BBC Sounds after. Kat and I will be in a cave while it's on so we'll catch it later.
Just recorded a short interview with the BBC Radio 4 programme You and Yours about our air conditioning system. Should be part of the episode broadcasting on Monday 15th. It'll only be a couple of minutes long but I'm curious to see what the reaction to it is. #greentech

It is done (well, v1 is done). I recorded the walkthrough video yesterday and will hopefully be recording the announcement video today for release on Saturday. #solar
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.

I'm not exaggerating when I say that this tool could save some people hundreds of pounds a year. I genuinely think this is one of the most useful things I've ever done. And I was part of the team that signed Mo Salah to LFC!

Heat pumps are great, we all know this. We've got a little one sat on top of our hot water cylinder. It's pretty good!

The IPC has confirmed our worst fears. We cannot sit idle while this catastrophe unfolds.

Trump has the power to stop the devastation. He needs to pick up the phone to Netanyahu - today - and threaten consequences unless aid routes into Gaza are fully reopened.
