Going Green

From now on all of the power used to host this site is supplied by the sun.

This is down to a combination solar panel / battery system installed by UPS Solar which seems to be performing well at the moment, certainly better than the info I gleaned from several websites as to how much energy I could expect to generate at this time of year.

We also switched to Octopus Energy recently, and so far that seems to have been worthwhile as well. The web based information panel is much better than our previous suppliers and they keep us informed of energy saving incentives from time to time.

Should you decide that you would like to switch to Octopus energy as well, then please do so via my link, that way once you start making payments, we both receive £50 worth of credit!

So duly reformatted the information that I found, started adding links to manuals and schematics, where I have them, and of course…
