Hi all,

Long time lurker here from "the other place", used to post there many years ago, but had a bit of an altercation with the late Martin, and stopped posting. Taken a LONG time to find you all hiding out here!

I've joined as much to pick the brains of the battery storage pioneers here as anything else, as I'm in the process of putting together a system, I hope. I'll start a thread in that section later.

Welcome OGB. I’m not sure we’re pioneers anymore. Batteries are a mature, mainstream technology these days.

Or perhaps that is just the perception I have from this echo chamber!
12x 340W JA Solar panels (4.08kWp)
3x 380W JA Solar panels (1.14kWp)
5x 2.4kWh Pylontech batteries (12kWh)
LuxPower inverter/charger

(Artist formally known as ******, well it should be obvious enough to those for whom such things are important.)

Any idea where Biff went?
Billi went very quiet the past year or so
Off the grid Andy (& more)
I miss small turbine news, & off grid threads n details that sparked from it.

Nonetheless I'm surprised neither has found their way to a seat at the table

I only bumped into it by accident and then had no idea about the security question. Needs some more publicity some how.

Still have not worked out how to post a new subject ?
