  4. Done. If you want to adjust the topic title please let me know.
  5. People of AN your attention please!! A whole bunch of posts which contravene our Community Standards have been removed. Let's keep it civil and on-topic shall we? I've not pressed the "Holiday" button for a while and my finger is itchy! EDIT and now a comment on forum moderation has gone walkabout. Community Standards are here https://aseannow.com/terms/ it could be time to refresh your memories.
  6. We got two new 280Ah 48V (about 14kWh each) LiFePO4 packs from Shenzhen Luyuan Technology Co., Ltd. All in USD3,774 (134,000 Baht) for two including DDP shipping to Thailand. Saved a few hundred $$ by ordering them as kits rather than fully assembled. Amy Wan and Shenzhen Luyuan come highly recommended on other solar power forums. https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/14KW-48V-51-2V-280AH-Pre_1600894719244.html We treat our batteries reasonably gently with our battery capacity (about 70kWh in total) being about double our total daily energy usage (30-40kWh) so we are not often below 50-60% remaining before the sun wakes up and recharges them (we used 25kWh from the batteries overnight with them being at 60% this morning). I expect them to go on for a goodly while. It's worth remembering that most EV manufacturers offer an 8-year guarantee on their batteries with at least one (MG, I expect others to follow suit) being unlimited mileage. The warranty being that the pack will retain at least 80% of its capacity.
  7. The best ever Terry Pratchett quotes, unless, of course, you know better! Give a man a fire and he's warm for a day, but set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life. Sodomy non sapiens (buggered if I know) In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded. It's not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren't doing it. Five exclamation marks, the sure sign of an insane mind. THEN TAKE THE UNIVERSE AND GRIND IT DOWN TO THE FINEST POWDER AND SIEVE IT THROUGH THE FINEST SIEVE AND THEN SHOW ME ONE ATOM OF JUSTICE, ONE MOLECULE OF MERCY. AND YET—Death waved a hand. AND YET YOU ACT AS IF THERE IS SOME IDEAL ORDER IN THE WORLD, AS IF THERE IS SOME...SOME RIGHTNESS IN THE UNIVERSE BY WHICH IT MAY BE JUDGED. Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time. There is a rumour going around that I have found God. I think this is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist. Just erotic. Nothing kinky. It's the difference between using a feather and using a chicken. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.
  8. Just remove the two screws on the gland plate. What can you see inside?
  9. In this increasingly PC/woke/something-else world when a nasty storm is brewing do we now have to refer to "clouds of color" rather than "BBC** (Big B***k Clouds)"? ** No not that BBC, or that one (talk about minds in the sewer)!
  10. My immediate thought too. Breathe is slightly different to what was quoted in the OP. https://www.pink-floyd-lyrics.com/html/breathe-reprise-dark-lyrics.html
  11. People. Any further "discussion" on the subject of truncating URLs will close this thread. Some do, some don't. I will say I've never actually seen it have much effect (I always test after shortening).
  12. If you take that cover off, does it reveal that those are actually crimp-lugs on bolted terminals?? You will probably have to feed the wire through the hole before putting on the crimp.

  14. Numbers for July. That "big" PEA import (about 160 Baht) was coz the grandkids were visiting and running all the A/C set to "arctic" coupled with some rather dull days running our batteries down. There's still about 6,900 Baht we didn't pay to PEA 🙂
  15. Are you using the CT or an external RS-485 meter? The CTs are awfully inaccurate when it comes to setting zero import/export and seem to err on the side of import. Also, what have you got "Zero Export Power" set to? This sets a constant import from the grid to ensure that the occasional "blip" of export (possibly from the removal of large loads) doesn't actually cause an export. We just open the grid breaker unless we are going to need a top-up coz the Thai grandkids are here and using the A/C set to "arctic".
