  1. We've had a new electric meter installed. Previously, we had a spinning disc meter with our ongrid solar system. Would like to know if it's ok to run our currently turned off ongrid inverter. Obviously we don't want to be double charged for electric or blow the meter up.
  2. Been following your build and would be great to be totally off grid. One thing I read about off grid builds is they need alot of power management unless you really over size. Just my impression
  3. cheers I think I will go with this as I really don't want to go buying batteries
  4. Thanks to the members here I've had a small solar set up running for the last year. I have two systems. Each system consists of 3 of 340w panels wired parallel to an on grid souer inverter. Now the spinning disc meter is to be changed to a digital meter off his week. I understand I need to change to a hybrid inverter but certainly don't want to export any electric back into the grid. Also I don't want to start buying batteries. I do have 2 electric cars that maybe I could change any excess energy. I looked at Lazada but need a little help in choosing an inverter. Also any recommendations should I change my setup. I have space for may another 3 solar panels. Thanks
  5. Thanks to the contributions here I managed to install a gti system last January and been running great. I have 3 330w panels wired in parallel to a cheap 1000w inverter. I have two of these setups. These are wired to the house consumer unit. I just seen on facebook that our area “udon Thani” have started to replace the disc meter to digital. The question I have is can I install a no export limit. My inverters have no option to fit this. Maybe just keep the setup as is and look at a longer payback period. or look into a hybrid inverter looking for suggestions really
  6. You need to confirm pea will fit the tou meter first. Then you need to install the wiring from where the new meter will be to where you will be charging the car. The new wiring needs to be to spec. Afterwards pea need to install the meter. Then MG contractor will come and install the charger.
  7. Many thanks for the replies. I like the idea of drilling the panel and making a solid fixing. But was concerned about panel expansion or is this not a problem
  8. I'm near to ordering all the items for my small solar system. One question is I'm DIY ING the panel mounting and wonder can you drill into the side of a panel for my fixings
  9. Ordered a Neta a couple weeks ago. Told delivery April. B5000 deposit. Nice looking car. Had a test drive around town. Rear view was restricted and seat was a little firm. But will be using it as a town car only.
  10. 2nd meter about B4500 three weeks to fit from order. Udon Thani office
  11. So could I use a single pole transfer switch for the live wire to the air conditioning. Or is it best to try to locate and switch the neutral too...
  12. Yes, 2 meters. Old disc one for the house. New digital one for the EV
  13. We have a MG EV car. To charge this at home we have a dedicated electric meter and consumer unit where the charger is fed from . The meter is a Tou meter. We have several spare ways on the consumer unit and was thinking we could move the washing machine from our house electric supply to the EV charger supply. Will this be ok or will it impact in charging the EV.
