@amberfirefly@mastodon.green The question why it is not trivial to »just« allow it is great! Explore it!

@amberfirefly@mastodon.green They do seem a bit desperate to mislead people as usual "Systems are too small to qualify for smart grid export payments" Not the case. Octopus could offer export payments on plug in solar but it's their option. I guess this means the answer is "no, we'll have it for free". Pedantically it's GB not UK. Northern Ireland falls under different rules.

@amberfirefly@mastodon.green There's a touch of the medieval guild of electricians about it, and a dash of the general resistance from the sellers of fossil fuels. #SciFi : Robert Heinlein in Starman Jones wrote a Guild system with fees and limits on joining (but with benefits as well) into a future Earth, from which young Jones headed outward. Other moderately or very dystopic guild systems have been written about.
