@Radian so is this showing me my daily amount ( so far ) is 16kwh of DC ?? I.e at source ( pv panel ) generation

I hope so . It’s hard to test . At some point I might turn the PW off just so I can drain the SE on a solar day . Then ( assuming PV generation is greater than 3.66kw ) I can gauge how fast it charges . Really wish the apps showed ‘real ‘ PV DC generation

So I guess ; if I am generating more than my inverter can deal with as it’s DC and the SE battery is DC - it will charge at the rate the PV provides ? I.e potentially more than 4kw .

This is what I thought ! 👍

It’s undoubtedly a stupid question ; I just can’t find the answer . A PV 4Kw setup can generate upto 4Kw dc . So 8kw pv 8kw dc Am I correct that in any solar app the PV generation shown is AC? So even if an 8kw was generating 8kw the pv generated app results are ac ?? Or just limited by the inverter ?? i.e ( simplifies confusing question ! ) why doesn’t an 8kw array ever show more than the inverter limit ? If anyone even understands that would be good 🙄🙄🙄🙄😁

Creating the next world population….

Though I get £10off at (expletive deleted)ing Morrisons

Yes . So in that scenario we are all (expletive deleted)ed

As it stands regardless of governments / war / Covid / brexit - electricity will cost more . So ( I guess ) Pv /battery is a hedge against that

Lol ! Snap!

Live long and prosper as some pointed ear’d twat said

Confluence I believe is the word … Electricity consumption is estimated to Increase ( even pre war / Covid ) Extracting gas/oil in new regions to new depths will cost more . Global warming / environment was previously a ‘joke’ by all world powers . Unfortunately it’s real . Future generations inherit our problems ( as indeed the current generation does ) The world owes me nothing . Not a roof over my head , not food , not water . I have no ‘ right ‘ to these . So I must earn them and repay it . Ideology maybe ? . Hippy shit maybe . Sustainable approach to my consumption absolutely. Long time dead - can’t take money with you ; I’ll be (expletive deleted)ed before tax man takes it in inheritance tax . Just my view . Of course ; just a personal view of my ‘cost ‘ to the planet . Will go and smoke some weed shit now . I won’t ; because I’ll spew - so Chablis instead 😁👍

As a business bloke return on investment ( payback ) is important. It is a no brainer for me . Factor in an EV aswell . So my ‘fuel ‘ costs for EV and my electric costs per unit are the same . Of course I have no idea what lecky will cost in 1 yr / 5 or 10 . BUT ! There is no obvious golden goose here ! . No matter how many ‘solutions ! , the government suggests - they will take many years . As martyish it sounds we all need to consume less and reduce all our carbon footprints - so that’s important for all future generations. I recall on this forum when I first got my power wall 2 pre war / Covid etc. how mocked I was . I don’t care of course because I have a higher agenda . 50p a kWh might seem cheap 12 months from now ….. that’s the real problem ….

I am indeed !

Boom ! Free juice for humans ! I can’t store it all ! . Even EV is now full ! Boom again!

In all seriousness a cctv camera will give a perfect solution in a toilet ….

Because to build it the way I suggest would show great skill . The crowd is not to be followed !

How do you know the original photo isn’t the correct orientation? I. E wall built with bricks on end vertically? 🙄😁

Looks like it too me . Can be difficult to get rid of in my experience

Nah - grow a pair . What will electric cost in 12 months ? . I don’t know . But it will be more than today . Get some installers in and quotes .

It’s the way to go !

Convoluted madness ! But it works !

Yes - for a motion sensor ‘ reading a book ‘ might be an issue . But if you had cctv ; you could set the sensitivity much more finely to trigger ( keep on ) any lighting . Had the same issue with my external front light . So through the software ( blue iris ) map the ‘ trigger ‘ zones - with sensitivity set appropriately to trigger Java script url to home automation to set z wave switch to turn light on .

Automation in my opinion should be something that largely ‘ just happens ‘ . Lights come on / blinds open etc .

Ffs ! . Touch / iPad etc to control lights / music / open the front door . Get boss onside now !
