    Solar and battery bank: how to intelligently limit draw from incoming supply?

    We have a 5.5kW incoming supply, which cannot practicably be upgraded due to our remote location in the mountains. Can I use a PV array and battery bank to augment this supply? We don't need lots of power, but with a 1.5kW water heater, a 2kW kettle and the odd 3kW power tool, we keep tripping...

    Solar How do I limit or feed inrush current for higher constant current use?

    How do I limit or feed inrush current for higher constant current use? If I could find solution, then the chosen battery cell type can have much lower Discharge/Charge rate. My product research found that lower Discharge/Charge rate cells are much lower price. So you can purchase more storage...

    Limit current drawn from generator

    I have a 1kw peak output generator. 900w continuous. My boat has an immersion heating element that draws 1kw. This will make my generator cut out. I know that if the heating element could only be fed 900w it would still work but just take that little longer to heat the water. So my question is...

    Limit to number of devices on BT Homehub 6 (infinity2)?

    After a lot of t-ing and fro-ing, I got a replacement HH6 from BT as the original was disconnecting devices at random. I was asked on the phone once about how many devices, and when I listed them, they said that was the problem. As my wife and I both work from home, with 3 kids, I probably have...

    5kw solar array and limit to 16amp?

    I had someone around yesterday to discuss installing a PV system for me, the discussion was mostly just an overview of technologies and different pricing such as loaning the roof and paying nothing, paying outright or paying with 5 years 0% finance. I've done a bit of reading and know a bit...
