Re: Pool heater

We got a Costco 5m x 3m pool up to a bearable 24degs one year with just the solar mat that comes with it.

Re: Embellishing twots are us.. Coren

With Ford and now GM getting into bed with Tesla, and fitting NACS charge ports to their vehicles from 2025, I think its time Europe looked at binning CCS (its a bit crap really) and adopting Tesla NACS chargers as the best standard!

Good Munro video here:

Re: May 2023 Generation

1121.9kWh

Low 13,6kWh
High 56.6kWh
Average 36.2kWh

Destinations:
35% to house
27% to battery
38% to grid :evil:

Say it every month, need more battery (or another EV that can stay at home during the day!)

Re: G99 for Solis RAI 3k AC Coupled

I emailed euservice@solisinverters.com and they supplied my G100 certificate for my Solis inverter

Hope that helps :D

Re: DC battery storage to AC

Whats your solis inverter model number as I know in the manual for some of the solis inverters it says its possible to run the inverter from battery only ?

Re: DC battery storage to AC

You'd need to build a high voltage battery as the turn on voltage of the inverter is 120V so we are in lethal DC land. Also the impedance of the supply of a battery is significantly lower that a solar string so you risk damaging the inverter. The inverter is expecting the voltage to drop rapidly as...

Yes, Powerwall isolates the house and allows solars to keep generating👍

Re: DC battery storage to AC

I'm not quite following what you intend to achieve here, more battery capacity ? Are you suggesting feeding a battery through one of the solar inputs of the solis ? I believe your inverter is not a hybrid type. Yes, more (read cheaper) storage. Was hoping a DC storage solution could be converted to...
