Re: Tabaluga's 2.0
..just need the number eg 10, 6 whateva @GezzaP
where I get lost is a/c say 2 dift power ratings, one 3.5 kw eg , same unit then says 1600
going on bills would say the lower one is right, but still adds up

Re: Tabaluga's 2.0
so you dont sell power to grid ? @GezzaP its only 6c/kw now, but sales peopleclaimed I could pay system off in 4 years think 10was prob more realistic, then after 'paid it off'all gear obsolete/worn out need to start over again lol

..if I ever change HWS would like a solaheart thingo that heats water directly in the sun, then backed up by solar
worked on a lot of dift jobs w builder decades ago. One place early on was a reno. they had a nice pool.water was heated by sun heated array of flexible black plastic hose that cycled hot water into pool. It covered the whole shed roof lol

Re: Tabaluga's 2.0
Feed in tariff sucks @Appleblossom . It’s a total rip off. If they force us to go all electric I’m stuffed cause I have gas cooker and hot water.

Re: Tabaluga's 2.0
Yes I sell power to the grid @TAB . But the tarriff is a rip off. Will be paid off eventually. I don’t really understand watts, not sure how many watts system is. When I bought it they said would pay for itself in about 4 years. I don't know really don’t understand all this technical stuff. Happily hydrating here napping too.

Re: Tabaluga's 2.0
whats not to know @GezzaP every appliance has a number for power usage in an hour
so fridge could be 200w so if battery was 2000w and didnt use anything else, could run it for 10hours in theory.
yep drinkies here still too. Jeez 7days and am on the road to NSW holiday lol
