A very important video if you have any GivEnergy kit.

Curious to see what's involved with a @heat-geek.bsky.social heat pump install? Well, my in-laws were very happy to talk about it:

John Ewbank, one of the researchers on this report, reached out to me for an interview as part of this research. We had a good long chat about our experiences with our A2A system. It's nice to see the YouTube channel get a mention on page 43. #GreenTech
Kat and I had a fun week last week:

My very clever brother has created a free online tool to help anyone in the UK who has solar to pick the best tarif. This video explains all!
My friend Gary did a very nice video on my web app that helps people with solar in the UK choose a good tariff. We also had a little chat at the end where he pretends he's never met me before:

Kat and I had another chat about EVs and how we're excited that smaller options are becoming more common:

People ask me this all the time so I thought it was worth making a video about it. As you do.

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:

I just keep making these videos, huh.

Made a very quick news update video about the recent announcement that A2A heat pumps will become part of the UK's boiler upgrade scheme (BUS grant):

Want more solar nerd nonsense? I got you covered:

Iwan lost many hours to that game
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
A chart showing my monthly net consumption (consumption - solar generation) for the last 18 months, together with the annual rolling average. The annual rolling average has been taking steadily since March and is now nearly at zero.
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
Kat and I haven't done a news update video for about two years, and we had a few things to mention, so here's us nearly succeeding in doing a quick roundup:

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.
I've finally published my improved solar tariff tool. I'm exhausted.

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
Love this 😄
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
Can't wait to see it bro 😀
I quite like how my roof looks like a pair of B2 stealth bombers. Kinda. If you squint.
More of my stats nonsense:

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!
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.
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.
