Thank you Terry I don't have a system that exports to the grid I use it all and store it all no point in selling to the grid they don't want to give you anything what I need to sort out if it is a problem is the Earth so I will have a word with studer the inverter manufacturers and see if they...

thank you for the reply I thought it might be a socket problem so I tried several sockets but they all have the same problem

My house has a fairly large solar system, with a battery bank that allows me to be off grid most of the time, the studer inverter puts out a voltage on the neutral, that doesn't seem to bother anything, one thing I have noticed when I'm on inverter power my granny charger won't work, the...

My house has a fairly large solar system with a battery bank that allows me to be off grid most of the time between March and October one of the characteristics of the studer inverter puts out a voltage on the negative that doesn't seem to bother anything but one thing I have just noticed when...

Thank you John you just made me realise how much I do not understand electronics and I will go back to my original plan and leaves the zappy alone

Hi John, thanks for the reply. The battery charger I have got is intelligent, programmable, so as the batteries fill it shuts down to nothing so it will not overcharge. Do I still need an Arduino?

Hi John my zappi is fitted and nice bit of kit too got the timer set to switch on 1 a.m. And off 6 a.m. full extent of my window now it occurred to me that the zappi is just a high price switch on and switch off now I have just connected a solid state 100 amp hour battery charger that runs...

It has now been approximately five weeks since I took delivery of my ZS trophy I seem to be slowly finding my way around the workings of the car on Friday we had completely uneventful trip which I must say was very pleasant and reassuring operating the radio is still a pain in the ass but the...

Sorry instavolt I haven't got over that bloody journey yet

it's now three weeks since I took delivery my new MG Zs trophy Hence the headline to this post, it's not nice to come face to face with the realisation of your own limits, I have been out in the car as much as I can I have grabbed my youngest son to Nurse me through a recharge at the local...

just been looking at your zappi why the hell is it so expensive all it has to do is be a socket on the wall that will put seven and a half kilowatt through to your car,

WHAT THE HELL SORT OF A COMMENT IS THAT IF YOU KNOW SOMETHING COME OUT AND SAY IT

I've just realised I don't really have a big enough battery bank looking after everything it's a 500 amp hour battery at 48 volts that will look after the house two to three days in cloudy weather in the last six weeks I've plugged into the mains for about 16 hours waiting for some sunshine if...

Okay I've done it today I fully committed myself to an MG ZS trophy and thank you I enjoyed reading all your comments now I've got to think about charging my home runs on solar energy and this time of the year I have an abundance of energy and I am starting the day with 80% of charge in my...
