Ive decided to purchase a DJI Power 1000 V2. Its a portable power station that supply power to 99% of my household appliances , and also portable enough to take off grid for say , fast charging drone batteries, charging laptops , phones, even boiling the kettle for a quick cuppa….. frankly, anything that i would do at home , yes even running a washing machine or maybe a Ninja cooker.

It recharges to 100% in 55 minutes when using mains electric , however i would charge when my Home solar panels are producing so effectively costing nothing.

It can also charge by its own solar panels when off grid or in power cuts.

Its covered for 5 years , and will easily outlast 10 years with perhaps a 10% loss in charge.

quite a nice bit of kit.

After changing over to Octopus Energy , My solar export has now been set up so i am already exporting what energy i dont use back to the grid.

Its only 15p per KWH ( supply in is around 25p dependant on market) , however its another bit knocked off my usage bill over the course of the year. Once march arrives , i should end up with very little to pay per month/ quarter if anything at all.

As it stands at the moment , even with the bad weather lately , im still generating enough to cover my daily use , so im looking forward to later in the year .

Octopus took care of everything regarding moving away from my old supplier and as a bonus it seems i was in credit by £970 so that will be refunded back to my bank in a few days .
