    Annual (temporary) goodbye to grid power?

    We should get there once the mini-splits are switched off heat mode, hopefully in a few days. We're still getting the occasional below 20F night temps. For the past week though we've generated 597kWh, used 376kWh for the house, and drew 28kWh from the grid.

    Does a battery ever have a positive ROI with net metering

    heat pump dryer is on the buy list for when our current one bites the dust

    Does a battery ever have a positive ROI with net metering

    Must be a well insulated house. We have mini-splits and can use ~80kWh in winter. On days the dryer gets run, it puts us over 100. Summer time we're around 30, and in between as low as ~15. There's the R-OTOD 2 rate...

    Does a battery ever have a positive ROI with net metering

    Eversource in NH no longer supports Tesla for VPP. Currently only Enphase IQ. This seems to change every 1-2 years. Net metering for NH: "Each kilowatt hour of Net Sales will earn a monetary bill credit equal to the sum of the Default Energy Service charge, the Transmission Charge, plus 25...

    Integrating wind turbine into PV/PW

    Forgotten about that one and for some reason didn't come up in my search. Here's the post.

    Integrating wind turbine into PV/PW

    They're in process of repricing and don't have a new list out yet. I don't know what the old pricing was. Briefly. There are some out of Europe that look promising. I don't realistically expect price-wise for it to make sense (yet) to go this route. When we put in our 3 pole-mounted PV arrays...

    Integrating wind turbine into PV/PW

    That's where I found the flower turbine of interest – it's low cut in speed and low maintenance. As the goal would be to just eek out average ~12kWh/day to power minimum loads, and I'd rather not deal with a tower, "regular" turbines have not appealed to me. This would supplement the existing...

    Integrating wind turbine into PV/PW

    Looking at Flower Turbines which has a low cut in wind speed, and curious whether it would be possible to integrate a wind turbine into a PV/PW system? If memory serves another forum member has wind turbines but as a separate system. We have two SMA SunnyBoys and unfortunately the WindyBoys are...

    Powerwall dilemma -- not sure if I have any options

    Should've gone for the checkerboard pattern ;)

    Cheaper to burn oil than run electric heat pump -)

    After almost two months I was able to get the HyperHeat installer out and he found the refrigerant to be down to 5lbs from the 8lbs it's supposed to come from the factory with. Hoping this resolves the issue and that we don't have a leak somewhere in the piping.

    New Hampshire SRECs

    My initial 3+1 year term with Knollwood Energy for selling SRECs will be ending later this year, so it's time to decide whether to re-up with them ($20/REC) or find greener pastures. Anyone using another service such as SRECTrade?

    Using Fleet API to Control My Powerwall Reserve Percentage

    That's the second step. First step on their page is to verify address via link sent through email. Or do I just skip that?

    Using Fleet API to Control My Powerwall Reserve Percentage

    Trying to sign up for the Fleet API but not getting the verification link. Anyone else have this issue? (tried having it resent, checked spam folder)

    Cheaper to burn oil than run electric heat pump -)

    @Xenoilphobe There are 3 heads (18, 12, 6). The old MXZ was a non-hyperheat 36K supporting up to 4 heads. When it was replaced last spring, I think the MXZ3C30NAHZ3 was the largest model before moving up $/size to the double units. The 6K head rarely if ever calls for heat; we had a resistor...
