Now I didn’t know that ! What changes are required to go from single phase to 3 phase ? . I’m guessing complete re wire from street to property??? ?

With Tesla I think that’s what you could do . But I still don’t get how you were allowed 3 phase on a normal domestic property ? Even if I wanted it at install it was mega money !! .

I guess your issue will be if you fill the roof with PV ( which makes sense ) you might need to consider bigger battery storage so more ????

Only if I hate you ?

3 phase on a standard domestic house ? ????

@Thorfun is on my Xmas pressie list for sure !

I thought the limit on a domestic roof was 4kw ?? . You got a mega farm ?

I think some gits on here must ‘drive’ a horse and cart ( cheaper than a car ) back to their steam powered shack - coals good to use yeah ? Only 1 planet Earth . Only took mankind a few hundred years to screw it . Time we all did a bit more than just separate glass from plastic with our recycling . Green rant over ?

Are you planning to get a battery and or PV? I’ve watched a guys posts on an octopus forum about his EV with PW . He’s obviously got ocd and is obsessed with getting it charged as cheap as possible . I believe his record is £1.64 for a full charge ; so 250 ish miles !

I think you guys should *perhaps* google other people’s bills with a combination of pw , EV , pv - surprisingly it does work ..... ffs ! . Jealous (expletive deleted)s - tempted to buy a Tesla car as that will increase the bitching for sure . Though a 50k car is a good investment for sure ( no offence to anyone that has bought one ) . Once I get a proper accurate bill I’ll post here so we can all pick apart .

It certainly will Also the battery is currently set to charge only off pv . Was 5% this morning ( I set that as the minimum) - currently at 7% . Not a particularly sunny day . I wonder what could be happening??? ?

Oh how we like to spoil the fun !

Simple things please simple minds . My building site is now self sufficient! ?

It’s hardly ever about the money . It’s the satisfaction of what you do ; be it make a shower former or shove some pv panels on . Ultimately we ALL have to try and save the planet by generating green energy and using it efficiently. I’m hardly a trend setter - pw1 people were that . I like to see the technology mature a bit then jump in . Whilst the market is tiny it is growing . Saving the planet bit by bit ! ???

A new EV isn’t justifiable compared to a petrol car in most cases . Petrol car nice and cheap in comparison. If I built my house solely on lowest cost I’d have single glazing , gas combi , less insulation , no glass balcony , no ASHP etc etc etc Lots of savings to be made ! But why ? I have a chance to produce something better - losses less heat , costs less to heat , less co2 , a ‘better’ house , a nicer house - but yes ; it costs more . BUT. - it’s all relevant to what my house is worth . This is the real key imho ! I’m trying to put in all the researched and viable technology I can whilst it’s easiest to install as its a new build . I go on really expensive holidays . Why ? Because they are really nice !

Here we go ! I was waiting for this ! But if I go and buy a 50k Tesla car it’s all great ? Roi etc . Buy expensive car nobody cares . Buy pv or a battery everyone wants to point out what a false economy it is . Why does ANYONE buy a Tesla battery then ?

@Onoff ‘s bathroom will be finished that soon ? ?

Sure thing ! I understand exactly what you want as it’s the same as me . My assumption is a decent HA plug-in will appear or as octopus has a specific Tesla battery tariff - they’ll work together and add a nice ‘agile’ option in the app . I jumped in a bit early I admit - but it’s all coming ?

Ok ! It’s all a bit confusing at the moment ! Afaik the only way to adjust the pw2 charge using agile is with custom code or a plug-in type affair for your HA . There are EV chargers that follow agile like zappi2 and I believe Andersen later this year . So I’m kind of a bit ahead of the curve here ? . As I’m the only one on site even limited PV will provide me enough for a few lights and a radio .

Linked to octopus energy agile tariff ( once my meters updated ) means I can charge it at cheapest rate if need be . Also an EV due next year . So a combination of cheap lecky / pv and charging battery at suitable times I hope to benefit .

House battery etc. FAR more exciting than crappy car !

Excited = Nigella + Tesla battery Photos to follow !!!

There is no ffs emoji ...
