Of course. It still has the factory seals!

Remember this? I bought one for our boss at BTS, he was over the moon, his young son was equally delighted 🙂

What nobody has realised yet, is that the model in the photo is what they are getting

A mate in Seoul got a dose of the creepy-crawlies. Being shy he didn't go to the pharmacy, he used fly-spray!! This was definitely not wise

Something like this https://www.lazada.co.th/products/powmr-2kw-12v-20-150vdc-pv-bulit-140a-mppt-solar-charger-controller-2-i5482290007-s23263269028.html coupled to a 12V 250Ah ish LiFePO4 battery would be more than wonderful (maybe 2 x 100Ah would be cheaper).

What kind of mouth ballcock wash do you use? Doesn't it sting a bit

How much power (Watts/VA) do you need and for how long? There are certainly UPS units that can take external batteries but they tend to be the more expensive variety. Or, you could use a solar hybrid inverter without solar panels and just a battery pack. The world is your oyster then 🙂

It's apparently illegal to be out in public without underwear (or to drive without a shirt)

Generally, for both your inverter and a generator you will need a transfer-switch, it is vital that you never have both your inverter/generator and the mains connected together (unless the inverter is a grid-tie type). If you have a hybrid inverter like @carlyai shows it has its own internal transfer arrangements, but an external switch is always handy as a backup if you need to service the inverter. @DD86 What is your actual goal in life for this setup?

Whilst they are at it, can they certify fire safety, evacuation etc. etc. etc.

Last month we had a perfect-storm 😞 A week of dull days combined with family visiting; It took 9 days for the inverters to finally decide the packs were low (15%) and start using the grid. We never intended to go as far as we have, but we got a stack of panels and cells for very good money and things sort of ran out of control it's certainly over-kill for a system that has grid available, but we really don't do the "economy lifestyle" that might be required if we were actually off-grid.

Numbers for March 2025. PEA was actually negative due to exporting to catch up with dull days in February (billing is 16th-19th depending upon month length). We seem to be having another round of dull days at present and we have our teen grand-daughter (arctic aircon + loooong showers**) here, so more grid usage is on the cards 😞 **Here is yesterday. The load blip at about 18.30 is my shower, the bigger blip at 20.30 is Madam's shower. The mountain at 22.15 is Little Miss luxuriating with her shower heater on full chat! You can also see her 12,000 BTU non-inverter A/C cycling. Love her to bits, she's a great kid 🙂

Thai senate meeting today, not very well attended for some reason. https://www.tiktok.com/@ajtj54/photo/7487829464114531591?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc

Unless you think it's reading incorrectly, I'd leave it be, these things go on forever, literally. Just change to your wife's name then change to a new meter at a later date (doing multiple things at once always causes me grief). Best to check what size cable they will want to the house too. The modern meters "should" be Cu/Al compatible, the end at your board is your problem of course.

This may be useful.

Shhh, that's Monday's headline!! Must stop using Signal

Is it just the render on the post that's cracked? That would be just fine to fill and paint.

Let's lock this 9 year old thread. Do feel free to post in one of the many other earthquake threads.

Definitely a bit of a wobbler.

Northern BKK, had water sloshing out of the pool!
