I would have liked to add Battery Capacity but it seems my Inverter is not compatible with the offer as it currently does not support VPP. I am also not sure if Zenaji Batteries are on the list.

Hi @andy1pom I too have considered going "off grid" but so far have not done that, as the hassles and expense of a back up generator is not viable. Your data when you are away is handy as a baseline for your quiescent load. It also sounds like you have made some effort to reduce your usage already. The items which are the highest loads are items that heat of cool, especially for long periods. This includes Hot Water, Air Con, Fridges and Freezers (The last three work as heat pumps but still pr ...

@Malster I have searched for the source of the diagram you have posted above, with no success. Can you supply the details? It should be noted that there are obvious errors. One example, the inputs and outputs have been reversed in the lower diagram. It does seem strange that you have a different contract to what is available to most people because of the meter you have installed. I have only seen different rates offered for Smart Meters, but (AFAIK) all those have the CL independent of the main ...

I forget to answer what happens if you turn off the mains and you can keep the inverter working. Your Solar would supply the house load. However it would NOT be able to supply your HWS as that is on a separate system. My House used to be like that too. My System will keep operating during a Grid Failure. When my SHWS was om the CL1 I could not power it from my own solar. Now it is on the main system I can.
