Hello from Victoria AUS

Hello all,

Didn't really expect to sign up to yet another online forum, but I can see that this one has ' good bones'  from the outset.

I'll keep this intro short.

I've been interested in off-grid solutions for many decades, but lost interest early on as no one else seemed that enthusiastic back then. Started many projects but the same lack of enthusiasm left me holding the majority of investments. (IE. All the r&d was financed by yours truly, and was forced to withold it once I found that there were no funds forthcoming from the "partners" for the rest of the ventures) So, I found it difficult to trust any prospective future investor.

On the upside, I was the head technician for Vectrix Australia back in 2009 until it's fate was also sealed. Sad story really, but at least it it paved the way for the current state of electric vehicles.

Sincerely hope this forum has the legs of it's sister Website SNA.  All the best on this Marc.

Cheers

Sam (aka Auracle on SNA)

    • Hi Thanks for allowing me to join the site. I have a real passion for saving the environment from fossil fuels. I hope to do all I can to save our beautiful planet through spreading the word of recycling and renewables. 
    • Zappi itself works great ... it's the software side of things that definitely needs some work. I remain hopeful and continue to work through it.
    • How are you finding the Y? Everything you expected? Blows me away how many you see on the road now.
    • We've just bought our second home battery. The first one, a lead acid gel battery, has reached EOL. We've replaced it with 4x 3kWh GenZ LFP batteries. Each module has its own BMS, so if one module fails, the rest of the battery won't - vital when it's an hour and a half drive for our installer to fix the problem. It's connected to our 9kW of roof panels, DC coupled through a Selectronic SP PRO inverter. The system needs to be reliable as it powers our electric pump for our roof sprinklers, but as an added bonus, almost all our power bills are car charging power imports. We have a Tesla EVSE, but it's controlled by an app called ev.energy that only charges when Amber prices are low.
    • That's not good to hear; at least the Tesla EVSEs work!
