RE: Sonne aus der Steckdose - Photovoltaik #wetoo 😉

in Solar Steem16 days ago

Oh, how beautiful - the person who installed our solar panels was very impressive too - we settled for a modest 4kW!

I have lots of questions 🙂

Is your system "off grid" or does your inveter need a power source to work? (Ours needs to be connected to the grid for it to work - so it's useless in a power cut even with the battery.)

Did you get a battery? Ours is 10kW which we charge overnight (at a cheaper rate) and then sell back anything we generate throughout the day at a nice little profit. With your bigger system, you could get a nice, big (and expensive) battery!

Do you have to register with your local energy supplier? In the UK, you need to inform the grid with systems that big.

Will you be using it to warm up your tool shed?

Hihi, that's more questions than I thought of myself while I was thinking about what the follow-up article about the electrical appliances might look like... Well, I don't have time for that at the moment anyway: too many comments to answer... ;-))

The system is ‘off grid’, there is a socket in the basement that has its own fuse and is supplied with power when the rest of the country is in the dark... ;-)
However, I have switched off the 40% battery reserve, which was set as fixed for emergencies, for the time being. I don't believe in the big blackout. We used to get candles out of the drawer when the power went out...

We have a 5 kW battery. We'll see if it's enough first. Such deals (buy cheap electricity, sell expensive) are not possible in Germany at the moment. The selling price is far below the cheapest purchase price (which is monitored by the state).

Yes, we have to register (which has already been done). However, with a system under 30 kWp you do not have to pay taxes as a ‘businessman’. Here you have to register any system over 500 Wp if you feed electricity into the socket.

The ‘tool shed’ doesn't even have lighting... But I'm working on it and will wish for a huge mobile battery for Christmas... ;-)))

Sounds good - especially being able to go off-grid. Our isn't but I'd like it to be so that when the next great war comes, I won't need to worry about our power grid getting bombed. Also useful in power cuts of any sort really. Plenty of candles for now 🕯️🕯️🕯️

I think that you can get Solar Powered Christmas lights so you can probably get away without the mobile battery this year. Heating might be a problem though - there's nothing worse than a cold spanner.

there's nothing worse than a cold spanner.

Oh yes, there is: frozen water troughs and a combination lock on the gate that can no longer be moved...

I'm off these minutes: the sheep have lessons - I'm teaching them how to use the app (smart home stable).

Dear @sduttaskitchen,
your efforts for good curating in all honour, thx. But… I've kindly let you know before that those big pictures/announcements in MY comments section annoy me. Just vote, the ‘lucky one’ will see it. Please respect the fact that this boldness bothers me. In my own community I can mute these comments from the sc teams, unfortunately I can't do it here...
Thank you for reading and appreciating my article and the comments of my dedicated readers. Thank you for respecting my ‘house rules’... :-))

Will remember for sure😊
