@johntisbury Be interesting to see how it turns out. I bought one of those kits for my wife’s car but by the time I got round to trying it the tiny chip had transformed into a crack about 12 inches long. Had to get the screen replaced. 🙈

Not sure how successful this repair is going to be on the Tesla’s windscreen. A odd looking crescent crack from a stone. Even saw the stone in flight heading towards the windscreen! Thankfully it is at the bottom well away from eye-line.

Well yesterday was an odd one! One very small defrost cycle as far as I can see giving a COP of -1.81 🧐

Warm week ahead at the caravan 🌞 Going to be hammering the AC day & night in the tin box! 🥵 Staying near Elstree Studios tomorrow night, as we head down to the tunnel. Long drive straight after work 😴

@HullTeslaModel3 @psbroke I’d take the bird mesh, we didn’t in 2019 when we had ours fitted the had no choice a couple of years later after constantly having to go up a ladder and hook out twigs etc, not an easy job, and the final straw was two dead birds stuck under the panels. 😎

@psbroke Offered free bird mesh, or £300 off the price. I'm guessing bird mesh is the way to go?

Got our Boxt Solar/Tesla Powerwall3 with gateway quotation. Queried why they quoted 14 panels last August, & only 9 now. He says this is realistic now. Why has the four on the garage gone compared to Aug? Can't do it, as Tesla PW3 only takes strings of three he says. Still savings to be had, so we've discussed it between us, & Sharon says do £1800 down, & go with the £204 a month. Just hoping the 9 is a firm proposal, & it wouldn't go any lower on the install date.

Anyone using Zone Configurator with an Everything Presence One sensor? What am I doing wrong, two people sat on sofa, only one target showing up and it’s moving all over the place?

@johntisbury Unexpected heat pump costs. Went from vented to unvented cylinder and found 3 taps could not hold the pressure 🤪😎

@_acm_69_ Absolutely, these were mid priced B&Q taps with as I found out, no-one stocks spares for.

It’s changing kitchen taps kinda day. Both kitchen ones leak. Spares unavailable. First set done and no leaks!

@johntisbury Yeah, thought I’d give it a chance now we have a heat pump but decided I can only wait so long for it to work things out. 🤣😎

By the end of today we will have a run of 13 consecutive days with no grid usage. Tesla Powerwalls & solar for the win. Not looking good for tomorrow though. #solar #homestoragebattery

@MrMikeStanton I’m thinking of increasing my monthly DD as the £8 I currently pay seems a bit too low, especially as standing charge is now £15 a month. 🧐

That feeling when you can lower your energy direct debit by £50 pm because of your solar panel system.... hopefully even lower in a month or two 😁😁😁

Think I’m maybe going to break my personal solar best today of 41.2 kWh from last June, here in Sunny Sherwood Forest, my generation at 4:30pm, how’s everyone else doing ? How’s it going down on the Costa Del Ogmore @sarah_go_green ?

@EVPuzzle @jojusolar Only one inverter for me to monitor so it’s easy. 😉 Here you can see how our electricity usage has changed over the years. 2012- all electric in kitchen 2019 - solar and battery 2020- 1st EV 2021- 2nd EV 2025- Heat pump

@_acm_69_ @jojusolar I rarely add up the 3 Solis and 1 Solaredge lifetime numbers.. Similar initial install dates to you but we've crept up to 11kwp now and totalled 56MWh generation Interestingly we've exported 31MWh back to the grid in that time

Well that’s another milestone passed. From 5th Feb 2019 to yesterday we produced over 50MWh of electricity from our 7kWp solar array. 😎 Thanks @jojusolar for the install, still going strong. 👍

@HullTeslaModel3 🤣I’ve just been reading the advert and the instructions. I’ve asked around at work to see if anyone knows of ‘a short jerk’ who would be willing to help but so far I’ve had no offers 🤣😎

@_acm_69_ You need a hex head screwdriver bit, but simple to do. Pop the wheel trims off, 17mm (?) socket set from memory. I couldn't leave ours unattended, which somewhat defeats the object. But now I can go back to scheduled cuts 👌

Bought a cheap Lidl Parkside robot lawnmower last year. Does what it's meant to, yet even now in nearly May the clay here is still soft! So it digs itself in! Gets stuck. Won't get back onto it's base! Bought these spikes from Amazon Germany. Now works perfectly 👌
