As the Earth undergoes the biggest changes since the Bronze age, Mr Musk seems to be tackling so much and at rates never seen throughout history.
You should see the phone he is just about to launch.
Anyway I don't like the way he is going with his energy science. Surely he is in the position...
We have solar PV panels (1.5kw) and I'm curious about fitting an immersion diverter to use any spare solar energy for heating water rather than sending it back to the grid. Before we do that, I'd like to have an idea if we have sufficient spare solar power for this purpose, if not then it's...
I need to put in a new distribution panel for under floor (electric) heating.
Are there decent energy monitoring devices I can put into the distribution panel so I can keep track of costs? (especially given the soaring energy costs)
Ideally something I can view on my phone/tablet.
Thanks
i have 4 x 1.2 kw systems and i want something like powerwall or powervault to use excess energy during day toi charge batteries which will automaticall feed loads when pv stops
Hello everyone
I am programming L&T make WL4000 energy meter. When I change the CT Primary to 400 the LED K is on meaning the meter reads in kWh. When I change the CT primary setting to 630 the LED changes to M meaning the meter reads in MWh. CT sec in both cases is 5. How can we set the meter...
Had a shock on our latest electricity bill. £153 for 1 month. Usually we pay around £100 for both gas and electric. Iv checked the usage and its correct, I guess the rate has gone up and we've used more than usual over Christmas.
So, I want more control over what we are using. I'm looking to...
I have a customer who is having Pod Point install one of their chargers at a car port, some distance from the house.
SWA (10mm2) for the supply will be run to a small consumer unit at the car port, with the Pod Point installed adjacent.
A 2-core cable is also required to connect the Pod Point...
Hello,
I'm sorry if this is the wrong place for this post.
We desperately need some expert advice/guidance.
We have a neighbour whom we believe is somehow firing accurate electrical pulses of energy at our home. So far, two new different brand security cameras have been destroyed, both with...
Late night call out to a night club with no lights but a lot of glowing areas !
Whilst the revellers were uninterested in me I slipped by with my trusted head torch on in to the depths of the basement and the main board.
As you can see from the pictures the main incoming diff had been linked...
Evening
Looking for software (or excel spreadsheet) to view data taken using Fluke 1735 power logger, Fluke software is ok but I'm wondering if there's anything else available?
I came across one of these recently while carrying out an EICR. I didn't have a clue what it was, and neither did the property owner. A bit of online searching came up with a bit of info:
It's a 'voltage optimiser', apparently it shaves 18V off the supply voltage (unless the supply voltage...
Hi,
How much solar energy is a UK household allowed to export each day?
Is the export limit a "net" limit, or an absolute limit?
..For example, if one day, i consume 30kwh from the grid, but export 10kwh of solar on the same day, than presumably the energy company takes that as me exporting...
I came up with an idea that could possibly produce more useful energy than is required to keep the system running & no it is not a perpetual motion machine.
The output is electric and that is why I am introducing this idea here.

There will be long periods of no driving. Occasional cooking with 1500 watt appliance, charging several phones, computers, wireless speakers etc., An upgraded sound system with a portable projector plugged in.
If you could simply tell us what you would do if you had a 2006 Grand caravan l with...
I think my Absolute Energy Master has stopped working as the screen has gone half grey/half black. The Company Absolute has gone bust and I can't find anyone who can either fix or replace it . They had a technical support team st DSM Energy Control Ltd, but I don't think they're around either...
This might sound like a stupid question so apologies in advance.
So I had a random thought in my head.
So I was wondering if I was to use a single phase motor to spin a three phase generator to create three phase power, would you be able to create more power then the single phase motor is...
