My electricity bill for last month: Import costs ~£50, export credits ~£90. Overall credit for April: £40 (including standing charges and running an electric car).
This is thanks to Solar PV, a House Battery and a flexible tariff from #Octopus (Intelligent Go) - all orchestrated with #HomeAssistant
Capital cost was high but well worth it 👍 #solar#solarpower#battery#solarpv#lowcarbon
Does anyone have experience with #solar#generators? It's too expensive to get solar panels and a power bank installed, but I like the idea of using renewable energy for back up power. It's hard to know how much capacity one needs, or how many charges the lithium battery can take?
I took a break from work to edit the final result from the H-alpha images I got on Wednesday. First is the more typical color scheme and the second is a quirky semi-inverted blue version like I did last night.
Hopefully, we're getting the #solar panels installed today! It's been delayed and delayed because the weather has been too bad to work on the roof. It's a nice morning, so fingers crossed.
It's just the panels, the electrical work to hook them up will be scheduled once they are all in place (and paid for).
Two things I want from a cloudy day when it comes to my solar panels and various batteries I want them charging - the house batteries get charged, and the EV gets charged. The latter has happened today, the former should be there with an hour or two. This is important during storm season here in Texas. Since the EV is fine for several days, I'll leave it unplugged for a few days so I can prioritize the house batteries with any excess being sold back to the grid.
Hey, #HoosierMast, I’d like to get some solar panels installed on my roof, and I’m intimidated because I know there’s a lot of scammy companies out there. Anyone have any advice, on installers or literally anything else #solar?
It's very clear how desperate green tech advocates are to paint the current developments as a win for the climate. But by doing so they only reinforce the status quo.
In 2023, #solar PV and wind comprised about 80% of global generation capacity additions (99% in Australia). Compelling market-based evidence solar PV and #wind are the best options for new generation capacity https://buff.ly/3JDUdMH
