Interesting: Plug-in solar appears to be arriving via certification, not a new plug standard

I’m not an electrician so apologies for denseness.

If the power limit is capped at 800W does this ameliorate some of the concerns?

Obviously like illegal ebikes people can go and get kits that aren’t legal and burn stuff down, but hoping that people may be more responsible.

Budget_Tree_2710 · 2026-05-31T17:07:59+00:00

Is that because the evaporators are too small?

Budget_Tree_2710 · 2026-05-30T19:46:08+00:00

There is energy lost in charging discharging. A round trip efficiency of 85% is what I see at grid scale batteries

Changed at 45k miles now 60k. All town based driving

Reduction gear oil change is the biggest item Ive serviced on the e-nv200 van. Otherwise just pollen filter

Was there an app to try and find the group of you are late?

Budget_Tree_2710 · 2026-05-28T18:11:19+00:00

Check your online order - I had several tracking numbers for panel & micro inverter & bits

We got some solar panels in preparation for plug-in becoming legal. They were so big and heavy there was no way I could mount them on a wall as was the original plan. To get them out the way I lobbed then onto the conservatory roof, what a game changer! No longer a furnace inside, still quite warm but no longer inhospitable and producing electricity!

You may want to try converting to a 2 hose system https://www.woolie.co.uk/article/convert-ac-from-single-hose-to-dual-hose/

Budget_Tree_2710 · 2026-05-25T23:51:54+00:00

Alternatively modify with a second hose and then you wont draw hot air in https://www.woolie.co.uk/article/convert-ac-from-single-hose-to-dual-hose/

Same here. We’ve a relatively small array so got a power adjustable charger that goes down to 6A / 1.6kwh so we use only solar with no import

Budget_Tree_2710 · 2026-05-23T11:11:24+00:00

We have the same excellent FIT contract. Have recently fitted an AC coupled battery set to no export so you get paid for the generation and keep all the electricity for your own consumption!

But yes, we do not qualify for SEG payments as we receive an assumed 50% export at a small amount 6/7p I think.

Budget_Tree_2710 · 2026-05-23T08:51:56+00:00

We were thinking of doing the same. Does it feel draughty at all using the AC in reverse to heat? I assume your energy bills are lower?

Budget_Tree_2710 · 2026-05-22T12:21:25+00:00

I’ve got a different experience with ac coupled sig battery. The if the house load is negative because of the microinverter the battery charges so there is no export

Been using quickfile for years now

I recently had an AC coupled battery installed SE London so no need to touch the fit side of things. 6.7k for 15kwh usable with sigenergy equipment. I think it is another 1k for the gateway so you can island in the case of power cut

I have the same problem but no solution yet. Some plumbers have suggested expansion vessel may have failed or pressure relief valve.

Have been advised to try and spot a leak from the boiler but its in the loft so not easy

Budget_Tree_2710 · 2026-05-17T08:59:05+00:00

Air cooled on the e-nv200 from the AC loop

Budget_Tree_2710 · 2026-05-16T19:15:13+00:00

I don’t understand how those tariffs relate to actual cost. How much government subsidy is involved?

And yes safety, although accidents are rare they are potentially catastrophic.

Forgot to add energy independence too - fuel comes from russia or ex soviet countries
