Off adventuring!

'As an aside and a bit of a milestone, the home battery went full today for the first time this year. Admittedly there's nobody there but the freezers, gas boiler, pump, network hubs etc etc. Nonetheless, incremental progress has been made, watched and noted over the past few days.

Turning off the Go charging window now, CLICK.....Epic!
PB 01.20hrs - 16.20hrs (100% soc to 99% soc) 06/01/22. '

Well, it's been a 9Wh day at our place in Scotland. That's a full 4 days(+15 hrs) since we remotely switched off the battery grid charging and happy to report we retain a 59% soc in the stack. A testament to not being there but more importantly, storage capacity.

Tomorrow holds some chance of a flicker or three of charge into the stack so fingers . Beyond that not so much. Nonetheless, without the higher storage capacity we would have no chance of riding out the days of PV gloom. With that extra capacity though and admittedly artificial home consumption the game remains afoot and optimism is high!

Cracking storm has blown in. Lights out but WBS still kicking it out in restaurant.





Then the lights came back!

Would you look at the run on that flue

[Mr Gus]

& all those "caution, hot stove" .. "no liability for idiots who burn themselves by result of ignoring the aforeamentioned hot stove signage" & "see other signs" sign.

[Mr Gus]

I can see joe importing 18650 powered flicker effect table lights from china & flogging a ready made 5v solar solution charging station around town to local restaurants, bars & the likes.

Flues nuts, clocked it when I first walked in this Winter, what to do though...

Anyhow, extra pihzazz! Full on thunder and lightning storm, power knocked the fuck out at Turkish house! Zing, pow, bazzzingh!!! Wind blowing a hoolie, waves crashing in down the front, ya dancer!

Even got enough excess to be uploading in a storm, all the village genny's are running (for those that have got them) and we're sitting here in 5V heaven listening to the rain stotting off the roof.

What a smug bastard..... 120,000 mAh back up ready. Precharged Mobile units deployed and operational. Tunes on.

Cheers lads. Had a couple of beers, sorry about my overexuberance...

Must be a sign from the gods joe (pop your head out &look for burning bushes) ..get some renewables rigged up pronto.

& tell the wife, be thankful it takes less space n' that than building a bloody ark

Should we be referring to you as JoNoah / Genoa & prostrating ourselves at this point?

Nb, absolutely nothing to do with a proctologists slicked up finger *cough*

Gus, I'm not even going to mention the altar boy analogy from last week.
