Crossy

You could try the Snakes of Isaan group on FaceBore, but maybe get a decent photo of him not being crushed.

Definitely, some of the stuff is obviously dicey, but ... Luckily Lazada has a simple and effective return system ????

@3STTW In the dark and distant past the Ft was actually negative (so it really was a discount), but the Ft discount of which we speak was for the last 3 months of 2022 when the Ft was officially increased to 0.98Baht, but there was a discount on that for low users (scaled for those using under 500kWh IIRC). The discount ended at the end of last year so now everyone pays the full whack. I'm interested by your note about having a 28-day billing cycle and getting 13 bills per year. Our man comes on roughly the same day each month (the 18th or 19th, except February when he comes on the 16th) we definitely only get 12 bills each year.

CLEAN underwear like your mother always told you!

Could it have been talking about Yellow Line?

Or you are just too tall.

Ya think, really??

I'm assuming that "The Country" is the US where crazy practices are "normal".

Is April Fools still illegal?

Again, it depends how it's been set up. But generally, unless you have some sort of export agreement, it won't go "backwards". Important Note: - At least one member has noted an electronic meter that counts UP when sending energy to the grid. You probably don't want one if you ever actually export.

Only if it's set up that way, if you've not asked for TOU it will just behave as a regular meter.

You get an electronic meter which records the usage at the various times. In t' olden days you had two meters and a time clock which swapped between them or a dual reading meter which had a built-in mechanical clock (with a clockwork backup mechanism in case the juice went off).

Now why didn't I think of that??

The 6kW GTI has 2 x 10S strings of 330W panels. The 5kW hybrid has 2 x 6S strings of 340W panels (room for another 3 panels per string). Right now, the batteries are full (11kWh ish) by about 1PM then we blast up to 8kW into the grid (all the village fans go faster). Leaving alone for now, unless our friends at PEA come along with electronic meters.

Cheers. It's knowing where to look ????

We have two (fairly large) Chihuahuas, the cat sits on Madam's day-bed or the dining table and teases them! Kitty stays just out of reach!

Is that actually quoted anywhere? The spec. seems silent ????

@Bandersnatch are you running panels 2P on any of your PV inputs? The spec. doesn't seem to indicate a maximum PV input current, just voltage and power ????

Meanwhile, it will be ridding your attic space of any annoying critters that have moved in. We have been "adopted" by a pretty little kitty, a little food to keep her happy (not too much or she won't do her job), I've not seen a rat since she moved in. I can't get within 2m of her.

We don't use the Tandoor type pots but Madam does like cooking on charcoal. She has a 2-burner charcoal hob and our barbie uses the stuff. We also do Korean style on the table (the grandkids love it). The "real" charcoal is much easier to start than those ruddy briquettes we used to get in Europe, a bit of kindling and maybe the gas torch gets it going quickly and ready to cook in a few minutes. No need for fluid or an old flip-flop! Once it's going there's little smoke unless fat drips on it. For your pot you may want to get it going in a barbecue-chimney, https://www.lazada.co.th/products/camel-bbq-rapidfire-chimney-starter-large-i3877901819-s14858941106.html (or make one from an old paint can!) then dump into the pot.

It does say it's an "estimate" ????

You could put 9 panels in series east and 9 panels series west then combine those groups in parallel on one MPPT. So long as the strings themselves are the same length you can parallel on one MPPT. I would start out as marking up your drawing with the "ideal" panel combinations then work out how to achieve something similar practically. Note that the inverters don't all have to have identical panels. There's nothing to stop you having a 9S2P on one inverter and a 6S on another if that's how your roof works best ????

If you are using 340W panels then the 6,000W per inverter limit gives you 18 panels per inverter. Arranged as 9S2P you are in the sweet-spot for the MPPT and everyone is happy ???? 60 panels are going to need 4 inverters. Provided you stay with the 18 panel per inverter and 9 panels in series limits then you can decide how to organise your strings for best performance (look for shading issues at either end of the day).

The bill we got on 19th January had the 0.93 FT rate and the reduced standing charge so it's probably a bug.
