    Making the jump to solar

    They haven't been replying to customers for some time. I once got a reply several months after raising an issue, which had been resolved in the meantime by talking to one of their staff at an event stand. This was last October and I was then recommended to join the Facebook group because...

    Balancing charge

    Yeah, the car just decides what it wants. Your charger presumably is a fairly dumb device that will provide charge whenever it is plugged into something that will accept it. A granny charger itself should be fine as it should be waterproof etc.. The worries would be with the plug socket (Is...

    Making the jump to solar

    Sadly I would have to second this. The equipment is great but the company are having big troubles and being very poor with existing customers.

    I'm sure nothing could ever go wrong there!?!

    Is my idea crazy or should I pursue it further? (EV as sole house battery)

    I bet that is a good temperature all year round. Pipes would need to be well-insulated as well, though. Otherwise you'll end up with the same temperatures as an air-source! Interesting! No chance you'd boil it then?

    Ground source and water source heat pumps will be preferable to air source. Not many people have a lake, pond or river on their property so water-source is unlikely but I'll include it here. The temperature differences of water and ground compared to desired house heating temperature won't...

    Making the jump to solar

    Ours is a manual switch outside the house. There is a process to go through to switch it over so it is a bit of a faff. Thankfully power cuts are rare, but if we did end up getting the 'rolling blackouts' some scaremongers are now mentioning online it would be a pain. But less of a pain than...

    No, our earth spike was only installed when we had the backup power system added. Ancient British technology.

    Low battery warning

    Can you fit the rubber bungs into each other?

    Who else got scared and moved from Octopus Agile?

    Might still be a good move overall. Maybe you went slightly early. Our renewables tend to do best in Spring and early summer because there is wind and sun.

    So the house would run on (and the powerwall battery would fill up with) solar when in backup operation? That is what I would hope/expect.

    Greetings from Colombia – MG4 Cross+ introduction

    That's a nice combination of features. Great to have you as part of the community. We had someone from Ecuador, so a few MG4s are getting to your part of the world. Hopefully more EVs will follow.

    What you having for your Tea/Dinner, tonight. ?

    And I'm allergic to peanuts! She's sent me to hospital before with our wedding cake that she arranged. Sure she'll finish me off one of these days.

    Same. Would have been cheaper to get it done up front. Plus we still have pigeons hanging around our roof because they often hang out wherever they were born.

    Home charger connectivity problems

    So you're trying to put it on a new WiFi network? That can be tough. Maybe someone on here will recognise the unit. Hope you can get it sorted.
