    Solar Power - Why people ignore your advice

    These solar companies are having a right laugh. I installed 8 x 415w panels, a 7.2kwh inverter with a 15kwh battery. Including all solar ground mounts, wiring, breakers, fuses, trunking, Solar Assistant software etc it cost me €3845 and I have the satisfaction that I know how it works 😂😂

    Anyone using car battery to power house ?

    I wired my combi boiler to a regular plug as it only draws around 150w. It was originally wired direct to my consumer unit. When we have power cuts, as we often do here in rural France, I can still get heating and hot water via my V2L extension cable plugged into my MG Marvel. I don't see any...

    Electric battery lawn mower

    I have two Worx robot mowers that cover a 3000 sq metre garden. I even run them at night. Just sit back and watch them. All my tools are Worx and naturally interchangeable with the battery system. Too old to push mowers around 👍

    MG4 can you set to a slow charge?

    I also charge via solar with a granny charger. It has variable output which you control via an App. When my production is low in the morning and evening I set it to 6a or maybe 8a. During peak production I ramp it up to max 13a. I also have have a 15kwh battery that takes up the slack when...

    2,500 mile Trip - perfect

    Same here but in our Marvel. Switzerland via South of France and Italy. 2700kn in 6 days. Car was like driving a magic carpet. Charging locations in Switzerland were better than a Lidl car park 😂😂

    V2G Vehicle-to-Grid capability

    I use my MG Marvel battery to back up my home battery which is cost effective ? You just need a battery charger connected to the EV and then to your home battery.

    MG Marvel - Comfort versus Luxury finish

    Had a ZS for 2 years then upgraded to a Marvel Luxury. It's the best car I have ever owned/driven and I have had late model Jags, BMW, Audi, Mercedes etc. Comfort is same as Luxury except auto boot lift, heated and leather seats. Same size, motors, screen etc. Buy it, you won't be disappointed.

    MG ZS EV not connecting to any charger

    You don't need to initiate the charging process via the dash software. The car should detect the charger and start the process automatically.

    MG ZS EV not connecting to any charger

    Of course. My previous ZS and my current Marvel both charge this way. If not, you would have to be sat around at a public charger whilst it charged. Turn it off completely, close the doors, plug in the charger and your dashboard will show the car is connected, then charging. Lock the car and...

    MG ZS EV not connecting to any charger

    Why are you turning the car "on" to charge ? Just turn it off then initiate the charge. No need to be on or in ready/standby mode for charging.

    Circular reasoning (Rolfe's solar energy system)

    That's what I did here. My GCH boiler draws a maximum 150w for the pump and display so I converted it to a mains plug and socket as opposed to having it hard wired into my main fuse board. I can now connect it to my off grid solar system in the event of a power failure - which we have...

    V2G Vehicle-to-Grid capability

    I paid €1584 (Euros) for 15kWh of batteries including battery box and all busbars etc delivered free from the EU. Chinese origin of course but they carry stocks in Poland rather than wait for the slow boat from China !! They are high quality EVE cells.

    MG4 powering other stuff (Vehicle to Load aka ‘V2L’)

    I did just that. I wired my GCH boiler to a plug rather than into the main fuse board so I could run the heating via my off grid solar system in the event of a power cut - which we have regularly here in rural France. The electric only really runs the pump and the main board and draws around...

    V2G

    There are no regulations when you are off grid !! I have a similar set up here in France as Bricktop X PWR. I use my MG Marvel battery to top up my home battery at night after it has been charged via solar during the day 👍
