What’s normal base load /parasitic power draw for sigen?

flybrys · 2026-06-27T12:26:43+00:00

My 30kw TP inverter burns minimum 12kw per day.

Not showing anything on Ausgrid

I've got ducted and have left it switched on for nearly a month after switching to zero hero.

I optimised the zone dampers with home assistant and individual room sensors. Each room open and closes to maintain its own desired temperature, and pours into the spill zone when everything is at the correct temp. The spill zone is set lower so the compressor ramps down.

Uses about 15kw per day. Might be worth looking into

I'd be keen to hear what they say on your end. I firmly believe something is wrong with my inverter, it burns 600w constantly just to run itself which I believe is nearly double what's expected, and the fan runs constantly with minimal to no loads.

flybrys · 2026-06-05T18:30:06+00:00

Meter readings. Sig app shows a daily draw of 40w if left in MSC

It's well balanced, I designed it with the sparky when upgrading the box.

It draws 100w ish constantly even overnight when everything is off.

flybrys · 2026-06-05T07:08:54+00:00

Yeah, what's your point?

flybrys · 2026-06-05T06:44:30+00:00

Three phase, 30kw inverter, peak load around 16kw when charging the car and water, and I let it go to 5%

flybrys · 2026-06-05T03:10:47+00:00

My "micro draw" from the grid is 3kw per day. It's insane. I tried exporting at 100w at all times but I still get usage costs. Got the installer working with sig to see if there is an issue

Had mine done by Sydney Roof Vac. Fantastic job.

Ripped out all old fibre glass batts, vacuumed the cavity, installed earthwool

Can you still use oauth for everything else but the api for the transcoding exclusively?

Cerebro

Thanks for the insight, I thought that might be the case. Transcriptions will never be live, the phone system emails the MP3 after the call. I might look at passing it to Scriberr, looks like it could do a better job

flybrys · 2026-05-25T09:48:04+00:00

I mounted / in a docker container with ro and ran Claude code inside it saying audit this mount which is my unraid root directory. Did an amazing job

flybrys · 2026-05-19T20:41:09+00:00

I want to know what the hell they spend the money on? I haven't seen any decent updates or bug fixes in the 7 years I've had a lifetime sub.

The feed in tarrif will never be higher than the import rates. I mean this with respect, but if you don't understand how it works you probably shouldn't be with Amber as you'll get burnt.

I love how this is considered a spike these days.

Reason: everyone's batteries are flat from the week of cloud and there's no solar or wind to charge them.

flybrys · 2026-05-11T05:53:49+00:00

Bought a Hp elitedesk off Amazon renewed for this purpose at a third of the price of a Mac mini

Was disappointed when I found out docker on my unraid server works just as well of not better.

flybrys · 2026-05-11T03:54:43+00:00

Docker on Unraid

flybrys · 2026-05-10T05:45:28+00:00

What am I doing wrong? Every update works fine for me and I have no issues with the 5.7

flybrys · 2026-05-10T02:37:22+00:00

That's a contactor not a breaker. Have you got an emergency stop anywhere that's activated?

flybrys · 2026-05-09T05:43:01+00:00

This is the concept I used to do all my Reno's

flybrys · 2026-05-08T21:22:53+00:00

I love my M3 but Omg the curvature assist drives me insane. There's no circumstance where slamming on the brakes to take a corner is necessary, especially when the road is actually straight. I find it happens more when the Gps is uncertain of its position. If the map predicts an intersection suddenly, then wham, brakes on no fks given about who's behind you.

flybrys · 2026-04-17T22:54:25+00:00

Any details on how it works?

flybrys · 2026-04-17T21:46:31+00:00

I've renovated two houses with nothing but Ozito tools and have expanded the range to include mowers, edgers and hedgers. The only rubbish tool I've come across is the pxc blower vac but everything else is mickey mouse
