It appears that the wind farm Trump complained about at the end of his cheatinggolf round at Turnberry was the Ripple scheme we are in. So Drumpf, I own 0.006% of the collective 
that was aimed back in your direction.

Still eternal September it appears…
Saw an announcement from them in the last week or so stating they are finally stopping the last of their dial-up style services in 60 days…

Like the idea of this.
Step 1: Landlord installs solar panels and a battery
Not sure how many landlords would install them. Probably likely on bigger new developments but for existing landlords?
Given the green deal subsidy has been scrapped and I think the only subsidies available now are for low income households, would the landlord or tenant be assessed?
Probably the more social housing end of the sector (a sheltered housing lot near us has put panels on a lot of their bungalows as an example).
I live in a Housing Co-op I we have panels put up in 2019 I think. They cover communal electric costs including stuff like washing machines and dryers plus we get income off what goes into the grid. We don’t have any storage batteries and not sure the best location in the basement in terms of space they would be allowed.

This scheme looks interesting as it appears to run over the top of the DFS service which you can only sign up to via a single supplier.
At the moment, you need one of these brands of batteries:

I’ve signed up to the “Events only” mode as I already do some fancy local control using Home Assistant.

Our SolarEdge batteries have a deal with Axle Energy, earnings below so far in the last year since we signed up!

Jesus! Nice.
That’s the DFS though, right. I’m signed up to Octopus’ version of that. I may consider jumping ship.

Bum.
Then again, we are still on deemed export from the old style FIT.
Yes, I think it was the DFS. We’ve not really noticed our battery drain out of the ordinary when looking back at the ‘events’. The 20kWh of batteries still get drained by 7PM or so in these really wet/dark winter days with the heat pump running and air/fryer etc but still way offset by the cheap night rate charging and these ‘Flex Events’ too on top of the ~£900 export we accrewed in the Summer on the Octopus Account.
Still paying a £70/month DD which I need to lower in the spring and work out what the very minimum we can get away with…

Lowest we got Octopus to through the app was £10/month when the government £400 was dropped in.
