    DIY solar battery storage

    :ROFLMAO:. Think I read that the Solis inverter here doesn't have a fan. But yes I can imagine relay clicking might be a problem. Looking to see if I can put the inverter in the kitchen. Where it can compete for attention with the fridge and freezer.😁.

    Oh,...., that won't please the other half! I may have to rethink this.🤔. Thanks for the heads up. What kind of volume? The sound of the desktop computer whirring away annoys her.😁

    Pre order battery's

    I've got my battery system on pre-order with ITS. Upfront sales certainly have good communication. Projected delivery now early July I believe. You can pre-order with your deposit fully refundable if you change your mind they said.

    DIY solar battery storage

    😂.You have a serious amount of storage there though. I'd like a bit more, but constrained by the visual aspect of it all in the living room. Also, wondering how much of the extra capacity we'd use. Just checked our average use from the grid this month and it's about 3.5kwh per day. I can always...

    That is heavy isn't it! I've a sack barrow so that'll get a workout.:). Quite a bit of weight to hang on the wall. Does it need to be off the ground?

    Additional solar array and addition of a battery

    Ah, that makes sense. Cheers Binky. Confirmation of receipt of my G100 application received today. The person who is dealing with my application is a trainee planner.......:oops:.

    Additional solar array and addition of a battery

    Hi Binky. Just wondering about your post here. I am waiting to hear from the DNO on a G100 application. My diagram to them doesn't include a meter monitoring the energy flow. I thought that the G100 compliant Solis used a CT clamp to monitor the energy flow and react accordingly. Do I need to...

    DIY solar battery storage

    Ha ha.😂. Maybe. When I first made my G98 application they told me to disconnect it immediately as only MCS installers could do solar...:mad:!! As I understand the G100 application. As I already have generation in place, I only need to send the application form with a description of the ELS and...

    DIY solar battery storage

    An update: My G99 application was rejected. Too much possible generation even though application showed additional AC coupled inverter set to zero export. I thought that was that. However, after eventually speaking to Western Power (10.05.22) it seems like a G100 application may be more...

    Hot water from PV

    PR is the only fair system. Ridiculous the seat system we have. Undemocratic. Also,..., 16 year olds getting the vote? Think you should contribute to society before you can affect it.

    Hot water from PV

    We grow most of our food. Tomatoes and potatoes that taste as they should. Only eat toms fresh while in season and bottle the rest for cooking the rest of the year.☺️

    Some of the objections are nonsense. There's no joined-up thinking. Don't they realise the damage climate change will visit on a whole raft of other species. Damage limitation overall is what we should aim for.

    That's exactly how they work. They only offer the excess generation that is being exported otherwise. So they can offer the immersion from 1w to 3000w.

    Ha ha. Yes of course, Solic is my immersion diverter. I was getting Solic and Solis confused. Senior moment. Sorry.🥴 Post amended. Carptench. I imagine you are already familiar with them, but Plug in Solar provided all our settup. At the time they were really excellent with advice and...
