you may not have a smart meter yet but...

I think we'll be taking as much stuff off the grid as we can. Phones can be charged from a car battery with a solar panel on it. Just add a cigarette lighter socket to the battery and add the adjoining charger to it, and you're golden. We also have 2 Freeloader Pico's to charge phones and the alike.

Might be getting some more panels, hopefully by the time it gets to the smart-meter readers. They'll just think we use electricity for the heating, but we're getting a log burner (if it's viable with our flue/chimney bit) in the next few months. So we should be able to have about 90% of stuff off the grid. Only the fridge and kettle will still be on the grid haha. By then laptops should be off the grid as well.
