    Power adaptors - using ones from old kit with exisiting kit

    thanks guys - so a general rule is stick close to the original voltage and the amps difference isn't a big deal? I know its a basic question for you lot but I know naff all about these things - why is the voltage more crucial - my naive guess would have been the overall power (volts x amps) as...

    Power adaptors - using ones from old kit with exisiting kit

    Probably not the normal kind of question asked around here...... Just wondering if anyone can confirm this. I acquired a computer scanner but it didn't have its original power adaptor. Rather than buying a replacement I found an old laptop power adaptor (the laptop has long since been condemned)...

    Remotely monitor and disconnect off grid PV/Hybrid system - is this possible?

    Yes I was thinking dumping the load to perhaps say a separate water tank so in a week of the building being empty there would be loads of hot water ready to use which the SHW water system in winter wouldn't be able to do. Would also save using the biomass boiler. However I have worked out, with...

    Remotely monitor and disconnect off grid PV/Hybrid system - is this possible?

    Sorry cant do an air source heat pump either! Sorry I'm being a pain now.

    Remotely monitor and disconnect off grid PV/Hybrid system - is this possible?

    Love that website and whole idea. Definitely alot there that could be useful in the future. One wee problem, I think from the suggestion you gave, is that it crucially needs an underground heat pump system and underfloor heating. Not that I'm against them but for the purposes of this project I...

    Remotely monitor and disconnect off grid PV/Hybrid system - is this possible?

    I am thinking say in the colder months when the solar hot water system was of little use, if I had a daily power need of say 15kw could the excess power from both the turbine and a little from the PV (obviously not much from the PV in winter) be dumped in a decent sized water tank for later use...

    Remotely monitor and disconnect off grid PV/Hybrid system - is this possible?

    Thanks for alot the reply. Sounds like your happy there no realistic chance of something catastrophic happening. Apart from perhaps storing batteries slightly away from the main building (assume this is a potentially good idea as long as the storage is well insulated to keep them at a reasonable...

    Remotely monitor and disconnect off grid PV/Hybrid system - is this possible?

    I am doing a a research project (and I'm a newbie!) and I need to know if its feasible somehow to disconnect a PV array (and possibly a wind turbine) from the batteries storage should that need needed for safety reasons, to prevent any possibility of damaging the batteries. Firstly I'd imagine a...
