Honest, hands-on content for UK homeowners switching to EVs, solar panels, and home battery storage — without the jargon or the greenwash.
I'm Dan — a UK homeowner who's made the full switch to solar, battery storage, and an electric vehicle. Since 2022 I've been sharing real performance data, honest reviews, and practical guides to help other homeowners do the same.
No sponsored opinions. No manufacturer talking points. Just the numbers from my own system, on my own home, in the real UK climate.
Practical, UK-specific guides built from real experience.
From first roof assessment to MCS certificate and SEG tariff setup. The only UK solar course built on real installation experience.
Real-world range, home and public charging, smart tariffs, true cost of ownership, and the used EV market — all UK-specific.
The refrigeration cycle, home suitability, the £7,500 BUS grant, installer vetting, and how heat pumps transform your energy system when combined with solar.
The complete UK home energy playbook. Everything from choosing your first EV to commissioning a heat pump — all three courses together at the best possible price.
Four tools built on real UK data, included when you become a YouTube or Patreon member. No sign-up beyond membership required — just plug in your numbers and see what the switch actually looks like for you.
Full payback analysis, lifetime savings, monthly breakdown and SEG income — based on real UK generation data.
True 5-year cost comparison — purchase price, fuel, insurance, servicing, tax and depreciation all included.
Find the optimal Octopus tariff for your setup — Intelligent Go, Flux, Cosy or Go — based on your usage pattern and solar.
Real monthly generation data from Dan's actual system — kWh generated, self-consumption, export income and net savings.
All tools use real UK tariff rates and generation data. Numbers are estimates — your actual results will vary based on your specific setup, location, and usage.
Every video is built around live data from the actual system — real generation figures, real bills, real comparisons. If it doesn't stack up in the real world, I say so.
