Agreed some of that heat will pass into the house

The fact that concrete easily absorbs heat means it has a lot of thermal mass - did you not hear what I said dark colored concrete roof tiles in Thailand?

Trying again …. R-value is a measure of how a material resists the conductive flow of heat. Concrete has an R-value of 0.1 meaning that heat easily passes through it. It will be heated from the edges and cooled from above when you switch on the air con.

I agree "soil temperature stays in the low 20s at few meters of depth" a similar R value to concrete of 0.1 per inch Unfortunately you cannot debate the laws of physics but if you want some research I have just been outside to conduct some. Temperature of the ground in full sun: Temperature of the shaded uninsulated foundations: Now the foundations are at 39 degrees the concrete will quickly pass that heat through the rest of the concrete of the house until they reach the insulation layer.

Thanks to Richard Barrow in Bangkok for posting these slides to Facebook - I wasn't able to get a clear picture from the live stream Anybody interested in buying a secondhand Tesla?

The ground beside the house directly heated by the sun will be in the 50s degree Centigrade. “With heat transfer the driving force is temperature difference” - first words of my video. The bigger the temperature difference the quicker the temperature equalization will occur. Earth has a low R value

If you run aircon the house will be cooler than the outside. Concrete has no insulation value and heat will move into the house to restore equilibrium temperature

I wanted to be off-grid and not reliant on PEA

I built an off-grid home with no utility bills. I have put what I learnt about insulation for hot climates into a video:

If you could consider a full EV, BYD have a couple of cars that might meet your needs - I have posted about them previously when I saw them at EV show. The e6 and M3/T3

Before installing the smart breaker I did consult the manual and it says to switch off the charger before removing the charging cable. There is no way to end the charging session in the app. This only happens when the the car is fully charged.

Price for MG4 has been announced in Thailand - price shown includes the Government EV discount already

I agree with you, but GWM and MG probably use the same outsourced install companies that know nothing about solar or EVs and practically nothing about electrical installations - based on my contacts with them.

Quote from blog to give you some background: “MG imported the ZS EV for ฿1,200,000 in 2019 and I rushed to put down a deposit only to be told that I would have to a second meter installed to bring grid electric to charge the EV as “solar would not produce enough power to charge an EV” – I refused on principle. MG released the HS PHEV its onboard charger only draws 3.7kW so I thought maybe with a small battery and a low charge requirement I be allowed to charge it from solar. “No. Unstable voltage from the solar system could damage the wall charger” So I emailed the President of MG Thailand to ask for his help. He very kindly agreed to have his staff help negotiate with the install company and a compromise was arrived at where I get a wall charger with no warranty and if my solar system fails to charge the car I will upgrade my grid connection. When the wall charger install company came to to inspect my system they discovered that my pure sine wave inverter produced a perfect steady 220 volts. The electricity supplied from the grid here fluctuates widely anything from 190 to 250 volts!” I suggest that you use the TOU meter to charge the car ( tell MG you will run the house on solar and will use the TOU exclusively to charge the car) and have the wall box connected to it. After the installation team have left install a transfer switch to allow you to bring power from your solar system during the day and and use the TOU at night.
