I thought you had more inverter capacity that that @nowty?
12x 340W JA Solar panels (4.08kWp)
3x 380W JA Solar panels (1.14kWp)
5x 2.4kWh Pylontech batteries (12kWh)
LuxPower inverter/charger

Yep, but it’s a low level setting and I have to be home to change it, so I am resorting to my supplementary battery inverter.

It’s my mums birthday today so I could not delay my trip up here.

So I flipped the main fuse and went and sat in my Tesla for an hour and watched YouTube videos!

Joe could power his house( part of) from his car, that’s got to be the best way forward

In this instance SWMBO was running the show as I was on transit back up the road. 36hrs away 350 miles. Interim charge Tesla Dundee, big charge chargeplace Scotland Leith, interim charge instavolt Easterhouse Glasgow. Back home with 15 miles left and plugged in for a 15 hr IO sanctioned charge. Sorry, back on point SWMBO rocks! :D

I have thought about using the EV pack to conserve the home pack but we seem to be pretty well.balanced. it is good to have it there as third line fallback. Or on tap large reserve if there is a powercut.

Assuming you don’t have an export tariff, baseline for the last session was your average import for the past 10 working days between 5:30pm and 6:30pm. Your supplier will be paid £3 for each kWh you saved during the session. What you get is up to your supplier, Octopus gave £2.25 per kWh for the last session.

If you have an export tariff, export goes against you for the baseline measurement but can seriously boost your reward during the actual session.
