I think that I have just programmed myself 25% of (the generation of) a virtual #plugInSolar system by tweaking ther power management of my off-grid system:

But I won't know for about 6 months!

@DamonHD I don't understand a thing, but it sounds great.  I guess the UK is different from mainland Europe. 🤔

@dasgrueneblatt The UK is always different one way or another, but in this case we are finally following in Germany's footsteps and allowing #balconySolar aka #plugInSolar and I am sorely tempted to add some to fill in some of our winter energy deficit. But it would be difficult given that we already have roof-top solar and all the regulations around that.

So ... tweaking the systems I already have may now give me about 25% of what plug-in solar could, for no money or paperwork!
