  • We have a solar edge inverter but from and have a Zappi car charger that can divert excess to the car and are planning to fit the Zappi Eddi that diverts excess to the water heater.

  • That sounds really interesting, would that inverter then divert back to the grid when the water heater is at max? Given unit cost right now it sounds like a great idea. You’ll hopefully save a fair bit by heating the water from anything you’re producing rather than exporting production back at a low price and paying a supplier current market rate.

    We’re hoping to have the foundations for the turbine dealt with today, but pretty windy this morning so we’ll see if they can get the boat across. More internal progress now. We can see where the walls will sit now so have a much better idea of individual room sizes at both sides and they were getting the loft hatches in yesterday.

    Picture 2 is the study/utility, they couldn’t put the internal wall in yet because of those boards sitting there for the workshop but that wood across the ceiling marks the point the wall will be. Picture 4 is looking from our main bedroom towards the bathroom and picture 5 is looking from the central space through what will be the bathroom door.

  • To avoid standing heat losses from a water tank and to avoid degrading battery performance over time, I would look into SunAmp heat batteries (used for space heating and/or DHW).

    This seems like a similar execution(?):
