Going green without a pot of gold.
I'm Tom, an average bloke who hates bills. I paid for solar and a battery on a credit card, and I share every real number: what it cost, what it saves, and what I'd do differently.
Getting solar? Find the battery size you actually need.
Built from a year of real data from my own house. It sizes your battery to cover your peak-rate use on a cold, dull winter day.
- Find your coldest month on your bills or energy app (usually December or January).
- Pick the 3 or 4 highest-use days in that month.
- Take off EV charging and anything used in a cheap overnight window, then average them.
Real bills. Real numbers.

The book
The funny, honest story of how a bloke who just hates bills ended up with two EVs, a heat pump he didn't know he'd bought, solar panels and a battery. No savings, no pot of gold, and it's still saving us money.
