Different garage but we had to chase our new handle. Was waiting for them to paint it and book us in. They painted it and just left on their shelf until I questioned the delay a while later.

Never let it be said that I'm not a Bam of action. ActionBam, if you will.

Your 2p is worth much more! Pretty much. They started out with 48V hybrid inverters and then produced an AC Powerwall rival. Didn't do my due diligence here, obviously, as I didn't know they were a Chinese-owned company. I knew the equipment was essentially Chinese. There are indeed people...

Bit the bullet and went for the service plan. Only 21 months after I started the thread! :eek:

Givenergy customers have received an email today seemingly saying that they will be asked to pay for cloud server access and API usage in the near future. This is a real disappointment since they previously promised that this would be "free forever." There have been rumours for a while that...

From what I understand there are two broad concerns, but perhaps there are others I have missed... There is a the potential backfeed issue (devices don't shut down when the grid goes down like they are supposed to). Hopefully the technology will stop this, if all the devices are of suitable...

You'd have to check the rules when they are released. But will NI have different regulations anyway? At present my understanding is that you are supposed to inform your DNO if you have an inverter connected.

Similar to us in that we have East-West roof with solar and have now added a heat pump. Some extra solar would now really help! Eyeing up the South-wall, South-facing fence and west-facing garage roof. Pebbles might not think it is a good investment, though!

3% aim is a bit tight for my liking!

good point - I saw an ecoflow balcony system for about £1,800. The battery would be useful, but you probably don't get a huge capacity with these systems.

Indeed, that is what has happened in Germany. Would be great to have something similar here. Though there are differences between the countries. Germany has more renters, more people live in flats/apartments and they have electrical systems that are more suitable (as Everest has been...

1. At current prices? Or future prices if Trump and Iran keep playing silly buggers? 2. Will the units come with little batteries that would extend this period? Eco-flow are a battery company so I expect that is what they will be selling but I don't know what the most common equipment will end...

Glad you got it sorted. Sometimes the car gets stuck like old computers used to. Reset required. I had a similar situation once with extremely slow charging. It was our EVSE. Did a factory reset and it has been fine ever since.

I don't understand the naming conventions. Why do some models have letters (ZS, HS) and some have numbers? I wondered if the number (4, 5 etc. ) and S# (S5, S6) monikers referred to the electric range? Hence why ZS and HS have been retained for the ICE/PHEV cars. But then I suppose the MG3...

Just spoke to my electrician neighbour. He is very concerned that line workers are going to get electrocuted with all this balcony solar backfeeding into the grid.
