Your spot on in what you stated about a tariff that suits your needs. Is the octopuses tariff a free 4 hour EV slot? So your tariff bonus is free for 4 hours only. Is it linked to EV charger only or can you use anything for free.. .. when I looked at it a long time ago it did not look good for...

Your a star . I have just sent this to my printer. I once child is in bus and I done my house work I will sit and digest . The V2G chargers are available but I cannot justify the cost. I missed out on a trial ,so that got me thinking. I have searched for battery's. I found a 62kw nissan battery...

Good morning sir, oh I know it would not be that simple. I will be firing up my space heater and digging out my fluke and have a play.

John cheees for that. A v2g EV charger is about the same costs. At the weekend I will see what voltage is directly at my chademo port on the car. Looking at used parts on eBay it would seem it's a direct link to the battery . I will.confirm this this weekend. If I am correct then I can buy a...

Wow cheers John .

Good morning , has anyone been involved with chademo connections and circuits within a EV. Has anyone got hold of a wiring schematic for that circuit within an EV. I am very interested in the V2G EV chargers but at 4k ish a bit to much money. My thoughts are to connect a chademo male plug to my...

Good morning has anyone played with v2g chargers using the chademo connector. I have seen this bidirectional chargers at about £3k . At the end of the day if you can tap off the 400vdc battery I was thinking of using an solar inverter as a solution.

You only obtain that experience by doing the job, sooner or later you have to go it alone and you will come across all sorts of problems which you would never see in a colledge test board. If you have colleges or friends who are electricians don't feel imbarrised to ask questions if you have any...

Check out YouTube heat geek they really push how the are 600% efficient. May be in warmer conditions. I find it hard to quite understand how people want all there homes to run 100% on electric. We have a fair share of power cuts in midwales and if homes were to have heat pumps they would be cold...

Good morning all. Does anyone out there know where I can purchase a WiFi CT clamp . Not for monitoring a system but a working WiFi CT clamp. Gino

My generator install gave several issues with regards change over switch and pme. Our issue was how the generator was bonded and how it was wounded. The change over switch works with L/N . We have 2 ev chargers with pen fault detection built in and they both did not opperator when the generator...

Your spot on Murdoch. We have EVs but we would not dream of selling our diesel. I would be hugely concerned with the reports I am reading about power cuts , bassed just that alone as a buisnes can you afford not to go to work due to your electric van not having enough charge.

Mod cons like a modern family but they get by happily but again they changed there life style.

You cannot win , if you do go total off grid then you need to look at what you use and reduce everything. I my self have a 12 KW gen as a stand by and last weekend I actually experimented . I charged my ev with a load of 6.6 KW using my generator. Red diesel is now £129 per litre and with...

Tech is fantastic and makes life so easy. Why run cables.

There is a shortage of equipment I cannot get a growatt sph5000 until December.

When you say porch is it a brick built. Make sure it's not a uPVC porch as they get rather hot and your equipments life can be reduced. I had my first system placed in the loft. I would never advise a loft unless you make sure the equipment is well ventilated specially in summer months.

This pops up and I think your correct a lot of diyers do not know or have appreciation for a lot of things like volt drop , length of cable runs type of wires used in differant applications. But it's not all diyers . I had a solar company install one of my systems and it was not done correct...

May I ask ,will the victron install be off grid only , and if it is can you back feed if you already have the growat system running.

Why did you not test the capacitors from the begining. Most meters have this feature.
