After a glass of wine SWMBO has given the thumbs up on another SE battery !

I am the man in a hole ! ( not rude @Nickfromwales aka the Welsh snowflake )

Exactly what I thought . im going to go with 2026 ( about the time I’ll maybe finish )

That’s why your build is behind ; because you fanny around over 25 quid 😁

Now that is BS . What was your eta to finish again ? ( so I check it matches with the date you posted elsewhere )

Yeah but which is more important a house or a garden ? . Actually don’t answer that 🙄

@Thorfun you laugh my friend. I've not seen any recent photo's and therefore I assume (i.e. know ) you are slipping on any fantasy timeline you had. You will be coming back to this thread in the near future and post "Yes, I understand!" . Just you wait and see.....

(expletive deleted) it - I’m going to go and buy some wine 🍷

Hey ! SWMBO wanted a shed . I said “ ok , but you build it “ Of course we built it “ together “ (expletive deleted)ing nightmare

You are a free man!

Can tell you're single.....

Yeah, you know. The title tells you it didn't end well for me. In her esteemed desperation to plant 'things' I said put them out the front but don't block all the decking I've got to do. So we get this...... how many fecking pots! When I complain... apparently it's because there is no garden space for the pots. Here is the 'garden' - can't see the issue really. I uncontrollably emit the "FFS". Now the response is the oldest and blow to the heart. "Well if you hadn't taken 10 years...." I'm not alone on this am I. 😶

That device does indeed seem to work !

I know . if I stuck another pw on there ; no one would know and nothing bad would happen ….

Precisely

Prison , humiliation , shame - I can’t bare those !

Yeah I’ve tried getting the installer to go with me . I did consider a complaint - though of course DNO might win . A dc battery zero hassle and cheaper I guess .

2 powerwalls isn’t an issue . It can be possible on single phase . DNO has the issue . I can’t win at argument against the DNO - I’ve tried trust me .

Spoke to Tesla . They aren’t interested

Yes . Told them I’d even be happy to have the export limitation increased !!

A 2nd PowerWall even with an export limiter will cause voltage variation especially on single phase . Of course it depends on the infrastructure and where you are on it . I spoke to DNO again just a few days ago - they won’t allow it . Because potentially the voltage variations could affect my neighbors. Also I asked what if all my immediate neighbors asked for pv . Then apparently they would all be capped at 1.89kw export .

The DNO understands . Export is not the issue . 2 ac powerwalls on 1 phase cause the issue . It’s because they are AC devices .

Wonder if I can do a deal with a sparky to do the install and a deal on the price if he purchases and claims the vat back 🤔

I found this for similar price ( inc vat ) https://www.solartradesales.co.uk/solaredge-home-battery-10kwh-battery-v02-400v

Yeah I’m thinking this way . SE install of an additional dc SE battery looks like a simple plug n play option . What could possibly go wrong ?
