Nor are some builders. There is an estate that was built in Ayr about three years ago. All 27 of the houses have solar panels. 6 of them face north west and 4 face north.
I've got to get an i3 from Basingstoke to Scotland tomorrow so I was just looking at Zapmap and Chargefinder for ideas. I notice that Porsche South Lakes has disappeared from both maps. Have they restricted their chargers to Porsche only?
Nothing other than it is usually desirable to have the Master indoors rather than having to stand out in the rain if you need to fiddle with it.
We got the Eddi first so we just left it as the Master.
Probably. To check, go to either the Eddi or Zappi then in the menu go to Linked Devices Info and that should give you a list that looks something like this:-
This shows that the Master (M) is the EDDI. ZAPPI being written in capitals tells you you are looking at the data on the ZAPPI (just...
£218 is the difference between the Octopus 15p rate on IOG and their SEG rate if you are export only.
Basically, given how little we use, the potential Savings are not enough to counter the hassle of changing.
What has Tomato told you about winter saving sessions?
My graph on the same tariff looks nothing like yours. A quick 'back of the fag packet' calculation says I would save £81pa in import but potentially loose £218 on export.
I hope it works for you but I think I'll pass.
Our heating is gas rather than oil but I have the immersion (fed by Eddi) set about 5c below the boiler HW thermostat. Eddi heats the water 0230 until 05:30 then the Boiler is used 0830 - 0930 to heat the tank after the morning showers etc and the 5c margin stops the Eddi kicking in for the...
Sorry if I made it sound worse than it is.
Charging your battery overnight at cheap rate is fine.
Using the battery to run the house during the day and topping it up from solar is fine.
Exporting the excess solar during the day is fine.
Exporting from your battery to the grid during saving...
Back on the 16th April when you were starting to plan this install I posted some advice as follows:
On Forums/Facebook you will see with monotonous regularity people ask why their charger 'stole' all the electricity out of their battery. Having the charger on its own consumer unit means the...
Without mains gas then I agree that the Eddi is a good idea.
Re the inverter, 3.65kW would be a 'G98' approval which basically means that you only have to tell your DNO that you are installing it. For a 5kW it becomes a 'G99' which means you have to ask permission which can take a bit longer...
Two suggestions. Firstly, I would go for a 5kW inverter which will only add £150 or so. With a 3.6kW you will be drawing from the grid when you turn on the oven and the hob or kettle. We have a 5kW and it's very rare that we exceed that during the day when drawing from the battery but...
Well there are two other Superchargers between Harrogate and Berwick which are Tesla only. Both have V2 chargers which are 150kW shared bay (so only 75kWish if both are occupied) and it's possible that Tesla's data shows that there is not enough spare capacity to allow non Teslas to access...
As Archev has said, the Libbi is Myenergi's battery system. Having a battery and inverter from another manufacturer is not a problem and long as the charger and CT clamps are installed correctly to avoid battery drain. The installer should be aware of this...
Agreed but there is only 130 miles between the two Superchargers mentioned which I would not regard as excessive and I read it as the OP thought he would need a charger somewhere in between.
