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 !

You’ve got an iPhone yeah ?

This is what throws me ! SE full - very little Pv Pw thinks it’s all solar …. So Tesla app ‘solar ‘ is only real solar when SE full , otherwise it’s ‘solar ‘ is solar + SE discharge . Real PV is what SE app shows . Both apps show grid import ( though measure it differently ! ) regardless of who imports .

I think that is exactly what happens . SE fills first ( but it would / it’s on the PV side of the inverter ) . I *think* PW will only get PV when SE is full . DNO wouldn’t give me anymore . 3.68 on inverter AND a PW ( effectively an inverter also ?!????! ) . In my locality you wouldn’t get that now . Tbh - export I don’t care about .

I shall answer my own question! My new array can generate more than 3.68kw . So in a Tesla world any generation greater than that would be clipped . As the SE is DC it can take generation above that . So clipping will only occur when SE is full and generation is greater than 3.68kw . If I wait patiently someone will be along to spoil my understanding.

My mum told me “ don’t trust a man that won’t show you his pants “ . I’ve not seen yours so I don’t trust your comments. Photo of pants first please .

Circumcised? 😂🙄👍

As usual I started it all serious and helpful . Then @Onoff came along 🙄
