Mastodawn

I'm at the Open Science Retreat (#OSR26UK) this week, at the #CentreForAlternativeTechnology in #Machynlleth this week - surrounded by experimental #solar arrays (incl. some cool ones from "history") and it has reminded me about my account on solarcene.community (a #SolarPowered #mastodon instance) - time to dust that off and have a play!

Stand-alone solar and battery-powered level crossings deliver an Australian first for regional rail

Stand-alone solar and battery systems used to upgrade upgraded remote rail crossings from “passive” – with no lights, bells or boom gates – to active.

Interessante Überlegung:
Muss eine (private) Internetseite ganzjährig und rund um die Uhr erreichbar sein?

the installer came over to see where we can install the batteries. Australia's regulations mean there's requirements for minimum space away from other appliances/windows, so ultimately we decided to have it installed at the back end of the house.

Will cost me a bit extra because more cabling required but think it should be good.

So come Friday, we'll have a site visit to scope out where it'll get installed.

Started doing some research, went to solarchoice/solarquotes and got couple of quotes out. So finally signed a proposal to get 42kWh of batteries w/ a 10 kW Hybrid Inverter - both from FoxESS

the exact models are KH10 inverter & EQ4800-L9 for the battery.

Is it massively over-provisioned - probably for our current usage. But with the rebates reducing come May and not a huge jump in prices figured now is a good time to get it done.

Signed a proposal to add some solid chunk of batteries to my house. when I bought the place, it already had solar on, albeit in a weird funky way. I can see from satellite photos there are 36 panels, but there's only single 5kW Sungrow inverter. Thankfully, the inverter does support MPPT (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_power_point_tracking)

this inverter meant that I could get max of 40kWh on a good day.
