Basically, don't ask, don't tell. Meter going in reverse only applies to the older "spinning disc" meters, sadly the electronic ones do not go backwards ???? Doing this is, of course, definitely not permitted. So don't let the meter man see it going backwards and definitely don't end up with a negative meter reading when the man comes. Getting caught generally means a slap on the wrist and the installation of a meter that won't go in reverse. If you have an electronic meter and don't want to join the official feed-in system then a hybrid inverter and battery storage will be the way forwards I'm afraid ????

The best we've managed with the current set up is 1174kWh in May 2023 ????

Generation for September. Total 971.63kWh = 5,073Baht that we didn't pay to PEA ???? Best day 45kWh ???? Worst day 22.9kWh ????

I know @JAS21 did a LOT of research before going for those Daikin units, I think he's found the best bang-per-buck on domestic A/C.

Your wish ...

Purely in the name of research (OK we needed some non-food stuff) I visited our local Lotus's's's (which is on the list). I spoke to the security chap and pretty lady on Customer Service. Between their (actually half decent) English and my (pretty useless) Thai we concluded that: - Dogs need to be in the basket or a stroller. They are OK in the home and wear areas but cannot go into the area with fresh foods. It was unclear about the packaged foods areas. "No-dogs" signs were not in evidence at any of the food outlets, but it was still early and few were actually open.

Well, we've had some rain, and the river is rising, nowhere worrying yet but the village is "a bit damp". High tide at Pak Kret, still well in the green, we worry when it reaches the top of the concrete beam.

Good, at least partial, result ???? But, will anyone come to actually fix the issue?

I thought that was the standard Mod greeting ????

-56.5C / -69.7F Definitely somewhat chilly.

That looks soooo like the high-performance model gliders I used to fly in my (relative) youth. If only we'd had the PV and battery tech that we have now ...

Use Google Translate like I did ???? I know it's an artifact of Google Translate, but this one made me smile: -

And thanks to Ken Bruce and PopMaster for reminding me of this ...

First album I ever bought!! Still a fan of Sir Elton!

It is best if watched in the original German!!

This has to be an application for AI!! Sadly, knowing our Thai friends they'd run it on a ZX-81 ????

My parents live in Bexhill!

Remember Popcorn - Hot Butter?? OK, the real one!!

My cornflakes say "contents may settle in transit", is beer the same?? Fetching my coat

It will be interesting to see how this works, I can take the mutt to the shop but I can't actually shop coz he's not allowed inside.

A list of the affected stores is here:- https://corporate.lotuss.com/news/corporate/pet-friendly-mall1/ Sadly our local one is on it ????

Yeah, wait until the sun goes to bed and top-off from the grid.

Just in time methinks ???? Maybe top off the batteries from the grid overnight so everything is full when your supply goes off.
