Well that is a potential issue when it comes to doing solar finally, but if it proves too much of an issue, then I'd like to see them try to stop me building a fence, made from bifacial panels. I have plenty of space though, so that is a plus! I'll spend some time setting up the Raspberry PI &...

I have seen a lot of this channel, he seems really down-to-earth which is great, did not pick up on the alternator not being suitable though, couldn't you just gear ratio it?

Out of curiousity, and my house is on single phase power, is there any reason why I couldn't use a 3 phase inverter? (but only connect a single phase to the grid, and a single phase to battery) with the possibility to then connect 2 other phases to more batteries & more solar? It would be more...

Hi there all, I'm new here! (sorry for the long post) I have 0 experience in DIY electronics or solar power, only basic installing new sockets & lights1 I would like to go fully off-grid eventually, but I am not looking to be silly with money - I think a 10% average return over 3-5 years would...

Thanks a lot! And I really appreciate the advice I think regards the max current draw, it would be safest to assume the max would be what the grid could supply in the usual way (240V 100A) although it is likely to never exceed 60% of that This is kind of what I was thinking... Sourcing quality...

I am on Agile at the moment since I don't have a battery system yet, and it is a bit of a rollercoaster. We aren't making the best use of it offsetting major usage aside from the EV charging, but on average, I reckon 7.5p fixed would be better for the EV after using Agile for a month (not a lot...

Yeah, they are really expensive for the power they produce I have had some tall straight trees come down in bad weather, so I've stripped the branches & left them to dry out, hopefully will be suitable to paint and erect for a sturdy base in a year or two In the meantime I have plenty of time...

I think in order to make it financially viable, everything except for the car would need to be on battery power - could possibly offset some washing/drying to the off-peak hours though, but definitely fully electric cooker + oven & electric shower would need to be on battery power so pretty high...
