Just do it, if he complains it's always easier to get forgiveness than permission :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

Does that also mean that DIY install is not allowed down under? FWIW I have two inverters in my installation, a Growatt SPH6000 coupled to solar and battery and a Victron Multiplex II connected to a battery. The Growatt system was installed by a 'certified' installer and the Multiplex DIY'd by...

Hideously expensive compared to the rest of the market but definitely a nice piece of kit. Very few EV's have 100 kWh and above. It's really not the right approach to consider full charge from empty, you really need to consider replenishing the charge you use on a daily basis. It's the way of...

Just make sure that the Zappi is fed before the CT's for the solar / battery, and you will be able to do anything you wish with regards to charging.

Try this one:-

Ive just tried this for the first time today, it works really well, have a look at the video's on their site: Hydro

:ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: - Every day a school day I like the speed analogy, I've not heard that one before.

Ah yes, I'd forgotten you were an early adopter of solar and benefitted from FIT payment. Well done that man.

Agreed and that’s where wallboxes such as Zappi come into their own. Flexibility on when and how charging takes place easily configurable.

Just out of interest why? it makes more financial sense to export all surplus energy during the day and import all of the charging energy off peak at night.

This one is easy really. 1) The bigger inverter with or without more solar panels is a must, 3.68 kW inverter is nigh on useless, kettle and toaster on for breakfast = import from the grid. 2) The problem with wallboxes is if youre using an intelligent tariff eg Intelligent Octopus Go, they...

Until there's an efficient and cost effective way to harvest the Hydrogen it simply wont work because nobody will want to spend 3 x ICE cost for fuel. So many issues for aircraft and Hydrogen (or batteries for that matter). Hydrogen need a lot of space and batteries load carrying capability.

Having just been in a similar situation myself I can tell you its a nightmare to get MG to state your warranty is still valid. In my case, my supplying dealer closed, I had taken a service contract out with them so they suggest I went to another branch in the group which I did. It turned out...

No offence taken here at all, I'm used to people saying I'm wrong (even though it's untrue), I can live with that! Take care everyone. J

Clearly Terry has had previous bad experiences in the past, I havent had any such experiences using more modern equipment etc. Active balancers are in use across the board and the power supplies / chargers I have used do have voltage adjustment as described in my setup description when the house...
