8. Solar and Energy Saving

Since the energy suppliers went bust around November 2021 and the prices went sky high I have become very interested in how I can turn this around for my house and family.

Below are some of the things I’m doing to reduce my reliance and costs.

I’m also offering consulting services to help you do the same. So if you would like to reduce your energy bills, then please contact me guy@m0guy.com and we can review your usage and calculate your likely savings. Even if you already have solar panels and batteries you might be able to make some optimations.

If you are not technically minded then please contact me and I can help with all the complexity and provide a solution for your needs.
