Oh yes . Me adding another PowerWall ( for storage not generation ) causes problems for my DNO . The infrastructure can’t cope . Ultimately ( as the new rules have been introduced) the DNO is obligated to update infrastructure for new developments. Easier at National / local level than nano - of course it is . But we can’t really afford to all wait .

So it shouldn’t be government and single installs like mine don’t contribute enough ? Reminds me of my planning feedback “ what’s the point of a single build it doesn’t contribute to housing stock “ . What a prik I thought . It contributes 1 . It’s not THE answer to housing but it contributes- same argument with pv etc. Do it ; don’t do it . Someone has to do something. Doing nothing is the easiest and worse non solution - but we know the majority will do that .

Until government does massive projects to supply zero carbon energy ( which could take decades ) its down to people to take what responsibility they can for their consumption and pollution

Agree with everything said Only 1 planet earth …

How many times must I have this conversation. Is it worth it ? No one notice we need to aim for zero carbon for sake of society and the planet ? ROI for me ( I bought pw and 4K pv array ) a good few years ago when they were less expensive. I estimate ( inc newer pv and se battery ) around 7 yrs . Batteries warranty is 10 yrs . Pv life span around 20 yrs . Please don’t mention “ inverter breaks down , optimiser fails etc etc “ . Yes of course it’s possible - just as much as boiler breaks down . As a LL I have modern boilers - not 1 year goes by without a repair on one . if I buy an 60k Tesla motor no one’s says a thing . If I then charge it off my PV everyone thinks it’s wonderful . That’s a very expensive battery !! - but with the additional benefit of wheels . Roi on that ? Is it worth 50k to go from A to B and save a few pence on charging ? That depends on the owners view . On size does not fit all . If it were possible I’d have another PW but DNO won’t allow it ( then I’d look at flux ) . Tempted by another SE battery though now that all the caveats are understood.

An electric bill ( heating inc and low mileage EV ) of zero a year makes it worth it 😎

Yeah , so ?

I’d say go for the things that ultimately will save you money long term . Lots of insulation , pv , ASHP , ufh If funds permit ; battery and EV ( depending on your requirements ) Everyone loves toys 🧸 !

Imagine @Nickfromwales turning up for his tiling job ; microwave strapped to the back 🤣

I get that feeling often

Some girls are harder work than others …. 😉

Ffs ! They even do sex toys !! https://www.amazon.co.uk/Makita-XRV02T-Lithium-Ion-Cordless-Concrete/dp/B06XKT6LGG https://www.powertoolworld.co.uk/makita-dvr350z-18v-lxt-cordless-vibrating-poker-body-only “ body only “ dirty (expletive deleted)ers !

They made a (expletive deleted)ing microwave! They competing with Dewalt or (expletive deleted)ing kenwood ! . Quite different markets I would think !

Reached 5.4 today for a few seconds. 5KW into SE ; 0.4 to PW The SE can only be charging or discharging. This creates a dilemma sometimes. PW nearly empty so you want to export SE. But then SE won't charge; so PW will get solar but only upto 3.6 - and of course that "solar" could be a mix of real PV and SE discharge " I guess this is a limitation - trying to avoid any PV wastage.

Typical Wigoneons

I’ve used probably a zillion cans of expanding foam . Tried the cleaner at first never had any joy . I now just buy 10 guns at a time and bin ‘em when fecked

Typical Makita shite . Can’t make proper tools so do a (expletive deleted)ing microwave . Note ! There’s no Dewalt microwave 💪

Trying to understand the benefits of this ( never heard of it before ) and if it solves the multiple AC units connected to grid issues ….

My export on PW is indeed wrong - set at 3.68. I assume it's a simple case of contacting Tesla and they'll change it? Presume they can validate themselves it's within the limitations of what the DNO has set.

Yep . Back home soon - will log into Tesla gateway and check . I assume this is wrong

Options available for batteries 3 yrs ago …. PowerWall , or PowerWall or maybe PowerWall !

Oi ! Your phone android yeah ? You left handed yeah ? You veggie yeah ? You Welsh yeah ? F me !

Pw far better than other batteries imho . I is cool Winston

Because DNO won’t allow me gob shite ; try and keep up else off to the blue parrot

Original install was pw and 4kw pv and *whatever* inverter Additions by different company added SE battery , additional PV and changed the inverter . I can’t be held accountable for what I said in the past . Lifetime of anything I post being valid is around 3 minutes ( like the film memento - though having said that I don’t really remember it all )
