My mums really interested in plug in solar and has been waiting ti see what @OctopusEnergy are offering. She's 75 and doesn't want to invest in a big system but she has a South facing garden and a raised deck against the house to hang the panels off. youtu.be/dhae9coALkk

Editors Pick for Fridge/Freezer plus more during power blackouts at home. This unit has it all, see BLUETTI website for full details and specs. BLUETTI Elite 400 Portable Power Station with 3,840 Wh (watt hours). Disabled / elderly users will need help unboxing the unit. With the wheels and extending handle it will go almost anywhere on flat floors easily. [ To extend the Wh (staying power) add a mechanical timer to the fridge outlet on the unit. Set to OFF for 1.5 hours and ON for 0.5 hours around the clock ]. #power #blackouts #powercuts #fridge #portable #powerbattery #disabled #seniors @plug_in_solar NOT affiliated with BLUETTI

OK powers out, how long can your solar battery keep your fridge / freezer running? The tip shown to extend the battery run time is well worth this short video: youtube.com/shorts/0rpRR03Iv… I am not affiliated with the battery brand shown. #solarbatteryruntime #refridgerator #freezer #homesolarbattery #solarenergy

Everyone stopped talking about the Tesla Powerwall. Tesla spent that time assembling something no other battery company can currently match 🔋 First, the licence. In March 2026 Ofgem granted Tesla a full electricity supply licence, so it can sell electricity directly to homes in England, Wales and Scotland. That means the tariff, the battery, the solar and the car can sit inside one system run by one company, rather than a battery from one place with a tariff bolted on from another. The consumer tariff has not gone live yet, so later in 2026 or 2027 is the realistic expectation. Second, virtual power plants. Thousands of home batteries acting together when the grid is under strain, owners paid for taking part, and the backup reserve you keep for a power cut left alone. Powerwall owners here already earn through the existing Octopus partnership. Tesla now holds its own licence and no longer needs a middleman to run it. UK rates have not been disclosed, so treat the overseas numbers as the shape of the model rather than a figure to expect. Third, bidirectional charging. Tesla has confirmed its newer cars support it, with Powerwall pairing coming by software update rather than new hardware. It is not fully switched on in the UK yet. Fourth, the three-phase Powerwall, the 3P. Rated at 11.5 kW continuously, four solar inputs instead of three, and a voltage range up to 800 volts rather than 480. It is running in Germany now, a UK launch is confirmed, and the final UK spec and date have not been published. Which of those four would actually change your decision?
