Woke up this morning to a flashing red light on the Hoymiles. My stomach dropped...

Turned out the complex power was off. :roll:

Fell back on ff to boil water and plugged in a battery pack to the network box. All was right with the world again!

That just underlines how the 5V battery system and 28W Solar panel are still needed. Lesson learned. :D

The ff free Al fresco kitchen had a test run last night, soy soaked sirloin steak with burnt garlic, honey & noodles. Went well, need some more permanent Solar lighting and right hand shelves. Will get into that after Cappadocia next week.

Must be the solar PV awareness kicking in. Just noticed another button on the washing machine (time delay). Did our first night rate wash. We have 3 rates here

07:00- 18:00 daytime
18:00-23:00 peak
23:00-07:00 night

Considering electricity flat rate is 3.04p per kWh I'm.not sure how much we'll save! :lol:
