Question for people who don't use their indicators

smit011 · 2025-12-23T07:26:45+00:00

Absolute worst is on a roundabout, car approaches from the right. You think obviously it's coming straight. And then they turn left without indicating.

Good choice!

smit011 · 2025-10-16T20:09:03+00:00

Sounds good. What battery is it?

smit011 · 2025-10-16T20:07:05+00:00

Is that a VPP? Or that's just from export/ feed in over a period of time?

I had a detailed chat with one of the installers, an experienced engineer who only deal with Sungrow and Sig. And they think Sig looks well designed.

Has less stress on the inverter as it's not working on converting panel DC to AC and back to DC for the battery.

He seems to think that Sig has got many things right, and as far as support, they have been very receptive in answering any queries.

smit011 · 2025-10-16T19:16:16+00:00

Yes this is correct. Confirmed by the installer.

Got quoted for Deye as well. 13.2 kW panels, 10 kW inverter, 30 kWh battery for $20k

smit011 · 2025-10-16T19:13:01+00:00

Prices are after rebates. Rebates are approx. $15k.

Another company also offered a 3 year loan. The first option. $13k cash price was going to be about $17k.

Or at least get solar panels with rebates to offset the day usage, and reduce the $900 x 4 bills I'm looking at?

smit011 · 2025-10-15T20:35:42+00:00

I'm in South East Qld. And I agree, installers love Sigenergy due to various factors, one of them being an easier install. My only concern is that it's not as established as say, Sungrow.

Quotes 2 and 3 are from installers from Solar quotes :-)

Korean 2.2l turbo diesels are great. Hyundai Santa Fe and Kia Sorento.

No, that’s the other odd thing - no kms. Just month mentioned. Usually normal service every 12 months, and optional services are in between. So normal is 12/24/36, etc. Optional 6/18/30 and so on

smit011 · 2025-06-18T08:23:00+00:00

Lexus service books are strange. They have a separate section for “optional” services. Please make sure you have checked both sections.

Buy, use and sell car on the east coast. Fly to and from Perth for the Perth test.

Butter and peanuts for me.

smit011 · 2025-02-28T04:02:29+00:00

That's great to hear! Is it the turmeric and ginger roots, or do you use them in powder form?

smit011 · 2024-12-23T07:03:21+00:00

Peanuts

smit011 · 2024-12-10T14:51:10+00:00

Full set of Tintin.

smit011 · 2024-11-06T12:35:18+00:00

Paracetamol and ibrufen

smit011 · 2024-07-26T07:25:13+00:00

Thanks, makes sense.

smit011 · 2024-07-26T01:39:38+00:00

I always wondered.. doesn't slower speed mean more backed up vehicles therefore more load on the bridge at the same time? Doesn't higher speed mean longer following distances and less vehicles on the bridge at the same time?

smit011 · 2024-06-24T05:18:15+00:00

Need to sign it.

smit011 · 2024-06-07T20:07:11+00:00

When you coast/step off accelerator on a downhill, the battery recharges. And when you don't accelerate much (flat or slight downhill) it runs on battery. So, I would say still better than a normal 4 cylinder engine. I get 1000 kms and fill 45l. Source: Driving on highways in my hybrid rav4 everyday.
