Ownership Verified: Another Tesla lurking in the shadows...

- putting electricity back into the grid would yield a ridiculous fee (0,05€, while using electricity from the grid costs like 0,45€)

Yeah honestly kinda similar, if not quite as bad, situation here… 8ct to feed back, 37ct to take (minus 25% in my case because I work for the evil supplier ).

Funnily enough, I put in my current meter reading into the online portal for fun and it complained to me that it was unrealistic (14 kWh for the month of august), to double check and I had to provide a reason
Fed back 500 kWh during that same time

Hey, as long as you guys can give more reasons to reduce dependence on the Garzweiler and inden mines, I’m happy.

Yes, I am NIMBY.

Saaaaaame

This is a bit of an issue regarding efficiency tbh - because since any self produced kWh effectively only costs me 8ct (the pv is there anyway), it doesn’t make any sense to be efficient about energy use anymore

^yeah that's a thing now.
If they're not paying you for giving them electricity (or atleast not nearly enough), it does make more financial sense to use said electricity immediately

yeah there's even a product I could get that just dumps any excess electricity into a simple resistive immersion heater for our hot water. I'm still waiting for my SG ready heat pump interface, so maybe that already has a similar effect. it sounds all fancy, but it's just a dumb switch telling the heat pump "there is excess, raise target temps by 10°C, if you feel like it" - which honestly, from what you read online, is actually more sensible than actually trying to get the heat pump to follow any excess exactly, since that leads to a bunch of compressor start/stop cycles, while this "dumb" interface leaves it up to the heat pump internal logic to keep that limited.

More? Yeees

Yes the gaps are there for a reason and yes I will be putting something in there so nobody falls down.

Poweeeeerrrr

IT LIVES!
… and since the sun has already turned too far, it’s currently delivering a whopping 400 additional Watts!
Also look how nice these semi-transparent panels are from the back (doesn’t quite come across, but the rear is actually blue). Yeeees

Also check out the mess that is my temporary install. Oh boy
