The main reason for the upgrade a couple of days ago was to remove a voltage mismatch on one of the Victron charge controllers which was losing me daily yield. I actually removed 4 x 325W Panasonic panels and replaced with just 2 x 450W DMEGC panels, so that was a net 400W loss of panels but the bet...

Although that should be pretty obvious, its actually not and for many people, they probably think renewables are less efficient as the sun does not always shine and the wind does not always blow. This is called "the primary energy fallacy", namely the misleading impression one gets that al...

I suspect if you fill in the form sent by 1st Energy, your data will probably become legitimately theirs and your likely to be spammed ! I note there were a couple of positive points from the real Graig Fatha Coop email, Management Services Tender We've been delighted with the response to our invita...

I'm going for the PB again tomorrow, the crisp twenty note from the Octopus awaits.

It's not unusual to see a trip on a generation or converter station. There's a website that shows you the trip details. I can't remember it, have failed to bookmark it and Google isn't being helpful. Grid frequency seemed to be just fine on Sunday with the exception of the event just after 2am If y...

So I ran through the night on battery power. Didn't plug the car in from just before 1100 yesterday. Battereis got through effortlessly even with the AC running low-and-slow all day. Sun is up and shining now and already covering the household use as well as putting 1.5kW into the batteries. I wond...

You can sign up separately to whoever you want for export but you won't get the best price unless you take their leccy.

Do you fancy a re jig of your oldest panels Nowty? It seems that you can now faff with FiT installs without informing them so long as you keep the power the same. Surely that it your lowest-hanging fruit for additional capacity? I already have done that on the second FIT install as I added an extra...

I'm working on another PV upgrade. The two higher ones are Jinko Tiger Neo 430W panels and the two lower (I have removed one) are 325W Panasonic panels. I am going to remove the 325W panels and use them elsewhere. https://i.postimg.cc/qvzCBt3Y/DMEGC-panels-v5.jpg 2 more panels arrived from City Plum...
