    Voltage Optimisation - again

    I think a some of you were trialing VO at some stage, is that right? I've always been dubious of its benefits for domestic but I've just been sent a Project Solar quote showing over £7k in savings from VO over the Fit lifetime. Lots of other things in the quote that i know are exaggerated so...
