Should we get more home battery capacity?

That sounds like a great idea, but there is no reason why you couldn't also plug in the 48 V DC battery charger to the same circuit and top up the house battery from the EV's V2L output when there is no mains power, so the devices powered from the battery can be kept powered up as well.

I agree, but there could be a caveat in that as Rolfe's installer said it is not possible it could be that Rolfe's system uses HV batteries, rather than standard 15S or 16S "nominal 48V" low voltage system. As far as I can see, Givenergy have both LV and HV systems

I think the whole taxation thing is indicative of just how broke the country is, equivalent to searching down the back of the sofa for loose change.

A different perspective is that it isn't a good idea to have 'loopholes.' If you can make money from solar tax free but not from other sources then this will give people an incentive to invest in solar and not in other things.

Hmmmm, doesn't sound so bad actually. Could be a 'good distortion.'

But at any rate, the general idea is to avoid these sorts of distortions.

Governments do not live up to this ideal, creating all sorts of little loopholes that become big loopholes.

I believe the hybrid system that both Rolfe and I have is 48V. The battery seems to go up to 54V.

Then it should be possible. Just her installer CBA. And @Rolfe.. I didn't mean a cat bite abscess
