As we've had the first sunny weekend here in the southwest, I thought I'd just share this for anyone considering a solar PV system with battery.
We went off grid this morning at 06:55, and at 07:20 started to fill the 8kWh PowerVault. At 10:30 plugged the granny charger in to share the output. At 15:00 switched off the granny charger having put around 4kWh (7%) into the car. As of 15:30 the Powervault is still charging at 1kW and should be full at around 17:00.
With todays electricity prices and the increase imminent, if you can invest in solar, now is the time to do it.
