  1. 😁 Washing machine job done Dishwasher job done I could charge some Dewalt batteries I suppose 😂 Drowning in excess lecky . Hence why I’m getting more storage
  2. Oh yes ! I’d pv that roof ! . Do that and get a battery !
  3. Diesel ! . You and you alone are killing the planet ! . You’re in sunny Cornwall I should imagine even with a small pv array you could be filling your boots ! . Get her an EV and some pv ( it would be a good Mother’s Day present ) 😁
  4. But you do get days like this ! EV 100% full so I have to export !!
  5. The only thing you can do is “ the best with current technology “ . Insulation being I think the first thing ( doesn’t matter how you generate heat if you lose it all ) . An EV is a good way to have a battery without buying a battery ( if you see what I mean ) . Charge at cheap off peak rate in winter . Charge off solar in summer . Whilst that might not reduce heating / electric bill for the house you are saving on fuelling your car . Swings and roundabouts
  6. Yep . In winter you get plenty of days where pv generates zero or if you are lucky 0.5kw . I’m in the south west of the country - your mileage may vary . Best you can do in winter is fill up a battery on off peak rate
  7. Nothing to say !?
  8. Yep . If storage is ‘an island ‘ and restricted export then you are sorted . I went with pw2 originally as that was the main ( if not only choice ) . Also my original aim was to export as much as possible. But it became clear the last thing I want to do is export ! . I want to store as much as possible and when no sunshine fill storage as much as possible at tou cheap rate .
  9. @Thorfun I think a lot depends on what your DNO does / doesn’t want . You have 3 phase so assume your DNO would limit your export per phase - but you do have 3 ! . Also like me you probably want to export little / nothing . You can ask to have zero export then you can fill your boots . The best solution I found was as much storage as I want but capped/limited export . Best of both worlds . Your installer should be able to talk you through all this . I spoke directly to my DNO - she was super helpful- though I did turn on the charm 😁
  10. It doesn’t *always * My pv goes through the gateway and exports at a max of 3.8kw ( my DNO limit ) . If I stick batteries on ‘that side ‘ then no matter my storage capacity I can only ever export 3.8kw . Therefore DNO don’t care and I could have a zillion giga watts of storage . Pw2 has an inverter integrated so can export on its own . So my DNO approved limit is my pv inverter max + pw2 max export .
  11. I believe he/she is gender fluid . I thought that meant he wee’s on the floor a lot .
  12. When my glazing was installed I had maybe 12 guys on site . I went to the bakers and bought coffee , pasty , Doughnut and sandwich each . Cost me about 160 quid !! 😁🙄🙄😂
  13. If it is a ‘special delivery ‘ I.e he’s driven for hours then I offer use of the toilet , drink and give him 20 quid ( especially if he helps me unload ( not a euphemism ) ) .
  14. You’d better get it right @Adsibob or SWMBO will be cutting off your possessions ✂️
  15. Lack of skills incompetence work going to the gym procrastination lack of skills lack of money taking it easy back ache lack of skills waiting for Friday going on holiday lack of skills
  16. Bits of pipes and glue . Any idiot can do that . Love’s ya Uncle Nick 😁
  17. It’s always the plumbers fault
  18. I just did pir and foam
  19. I just had a chemical toilet and some osb around it in the corner of the dungeon . Not an issue for me - but everyone else shocked . But ; when you gotta go you gotta go !
  20. Can’t see any mvhr - tut tut
  21. Don’t use them ! Look what it’s done to her face !! Poor girl
