1:09 Oops! The duck curve is actually a graph of power production over the course of a day that shows the timing imbalance between peak demand and solar power generation.

12:49 I've been informed the off-peak price of Eco7 is currently around 17p, not 10p - so not as good as it seems, at all.

If you're getting a lot from my videos, and would like to support me in my efforts to help everyone, here are a couple of ways to do this:

1. You could https://www.buymeacoffee.com/GaryDoes... :-)

2. If you're thinking of switching energy supplier to Octopus Energy. If you call them and give them my referral code ("blue-wind-201") and my name ("Gary Waite") and we'll both get a £50 credit to our accounts as a result! https://share.octopus.energy/blue-win...

I believe Octopus Energy is doing more than any other energy company in the UK to take us forward to a bright renewable future, and I'll make making reference to them and their initiatives in future videos.
