Back on-topic. If I were in the hotel's position, I would turn down the offer too. Considering what these "migrants" are prepared to do when they don't get what they want, I'd run, fast!

There's a massive variety of things like this on AliExpress, including units for landlords. Cut of your tenant's power to "encourage" them to pay their rent whilst sitting on the beach with an icy beer (or a Pina-colada) of course.

We're using two RS-485 meters to monitor import/export and solar generation separately. For WiFi or Bluetooth how about this chap https://www.lazada.co.th/products/jiuch-at4pw-100a-tuya-wifibluetooth-din-rail-ac-220v-110v-amp-factor-meter-meter-household-electricity-bill-power-monitor-i4158892709-s16330777444.html Did you install a big enough box for it to live in?

Can't help with a seller, but this may help with sizing the beasts. Looks like they are sized by the pipe size that fits through the middle.

Unless you want the UPS functionality provided by most if not all hybrid inverters, or you have an electronic meter that won't net-meter (there have been reports of electronic meters in Thailand actually charging for exported energy) and you want to store excess generation (there are of course other ways of using excess generation, such as hot water storage). Costs are coming down and more second-life vehicle packs are coming on the market. Our (well) used LiFePO4 golf-cart cells keep our lights, TV, one A/C etc. on for 4-5 hours at night before the genset has to start, during the day the solar will happily supply our normal load and charge the batteries** with the grid off (we would normally be exporting if the grid was on). ** Assuming the weather plays ball, unlike the last 3-4 days ????

Hmmmm. How do you know you are not exporting? (inverter settings mean nothing) With a regular grid-tie inverter (which you appear to have from data provided) it will generate power to the limit of what's available from the panels. Once the local load is satisfied any spare energy is exported (this is controlled by physics, not by any inverter settings). The inverter can limit or eliminate export by reducing its power output to match the local load. It can do this by either monitoring the local load OR by monitoring the grid energy. Your unit can monitor the grid energy using the add-on unit. Have you tried killing the local load and watching the meter?

But you are ON dozens

I have a feeling this is going to go downhill fast ????

Would the lovely Babs pass muster? ????

Ours came from this seller https://www.lazada.co.th/shop/coden who doesn't appear to sell rubbish.

Yeah, the wattage seems to be "incandescent equivalent", 150W of LED is lighthouse bright.

Yeah, ours were just over a grand a pop in 2020. Ours are the "150W" version (actually about 15W of LEDs), good illumination for the driveway mounted on our electricity poles.

We have several of these, sadly the original Lazada item is no longer available but there are a number of similar items. The plus for us is that they come apart easily to replace the batteries, although they're still going strong on the original packs after 2 years.

Mine too, the white plates fitted at the dealer (cars mind, not bikes) ???? Other experiences may vary

Should have told them it was for an EV ????

Certainly, in the UK the term "ELCB" is now reserved for the older Voltage-Operated ELCB devices (not permitted for new installations) or for earth-leakage devices in HV systems. But we all understand the terminology. Since we seem to have descended into anarchy this thread is Closed.

A bit of both. MG won't install their 7kW charger unless you have either: - An existing 30/100 supply. or A separate 15/45 solely for the EV charger. PEA were offering a second supply with the option of ToU (Time of Use) metering for cheaper off-peak charging, not sure if that offer still stands.

Any decent hardware store should be able to provide you with something (take a photo from the Net with you). BUT You can get a dedicated machine with water cooling and a guide fence for a grand or so on Lazada. Is it worth messing about with a less than ideal solution?? EDIT We have a little Ryobi which cuts tiles, concrete slabs, concrete (for chasing out pipes) or Shera board, and it came with a small circular saw blade which I've never used (we have a "proper" circular saw). If you want to cut curves a small angle-grinder with a diamond disc is your friend, it can also cut or grind steel (use it to sharpen the mower) and sand wood (a bit vicious in my hands to be honest) with the relevant disc installed. ALWAYS wear eye protection!!!

There're a couple of trees in the background that could be the second or third coming

It shouldn't be rocket science. Note that without the add-on you are probably exporting anyway as the inverter has no way of knowing where its generated energy is going. The add-on allows you to STOP export (most important that the meter man doesn't see it going in reverse). You can check easily by turning off all the loads in your house on a nice sunny day and observing the meter disk. If it goes in the opposite direction to the arrow then you are exporting.
