Re: Does anyone have knowledge of laying concrete slabs?
I had a new double garage built here a couple of years ago. Get the floor as flat as you possibly can. Mine was finished with a circular skimmer (what are they called?) but not actually polished smooth. Even if you don't want it polished flat you will want to paint it (otherwise you will be plagued ...

Re: Smart Meter IHD
I have exactly the same problem. Our IHD only works if it is virtually next to the meter the other side of a concrete block wall. Which means it never gets used because there is no where near there to plug it in to power it. It has rechargeable batteries but they last hours rather than weeks before ...

PGM = Power Generation Module. WPD are asking if your installation is compliant with the government's cybersecurity guidelines for Internet connected devices (IoT). If the system is not connected to the internet then the answer is a simple Yes. Otherwise have a look here - https://www.energynetworks...

Re: Pylontech / Victron inverter questions - relative newbie
Hello Dazza, welcome to the forum. Do you have a link for a spec sheet for the specific battery? I can only find US3000C at 3.6kWh or US5000 at 4.8kWh. The data in there should answer a lot of your questions - e.g. they need to be charged at 53V and maximum continuous current discharge at 48V of x A...

Re: Battery Lawnmower
Is there room to make a galv steel (garden wire) tie around it to assist a pull device? No room for wire, but your suggestion has made me think I could wrap a thin piece of material, like ribbon, around to help pull it out. The issue is that you need a thumb on top to press the locking piece in but...
