    V2H or V2G availability

    Project ev are sitting on the fence as I made an inquiry. It's just a matter of waiting ,for me I wanted to use it to support my home rather than spend money on dedicated home battery's I prefer to put that money into a car so it's multiple use. Trouble is it's slow, and I can see the second...

    Which wattage of inverter to pick?

    My own rethink this year is to actually do the same and fill roof space that will only get a slot through the day. So I intend to fill roof space with solar , I will do this my self to keep cost to a minimum. I will hook timers on each system to control when I want it to work. It's really for...

    Which wattage of inverter to pick?

    Hi I have a 5kw battery and my hardware allows a max of 2kw load from the battery. In all fairness my 5kw battery needs to be 15kw to run my home how I want it. I know every home will have differant usages . My 5kw battery is hooked to a 4 KW array and in winter months ,I should say poor light...

But I am not happy having all my eggs in one basket so I will be keeping my gas boiler,infact I will be changing it out for a new one shortly with H2O ready.

    Am I qualified to do domestic work ?

    Yes you would have too now. Older electricians who qualified many years ago now have to complete the nvq and AM2 . I am not sure what time line they have, or those who say qualified as ev installers prior September last year who don't actually even have inspection and testing now will have to...

    Why considiring the ROI?

    I agree about battery's. I read many forms and many people buying specialist battery packs like Tesla, growatt, Goodwe and many other brands. My issue is they are all battery's that are unique to brands and hardware. Most people who have forked out for those packs have disposable income. The...

    Solar PV system with not tied into the grid?

    I can second Goodwe support as a no go . You will wait months unless your installer changes the unit. If the installer goes through warranty support you will wait a long long time. Infact I waited months for a Tranergy inverter replacement. It would be good to hear other people talk about good...

    Am I qualified to do domestic work ?

    Question. It's been brought to my attention that all competent schemes which electricians have joined have recently changed. Even the older electricians with there previous quals now have to complete an nvq level 3 then complete the AM2 to now work as electricians. So they no longer get grand...
