100 kWh Club

[PITA]

Now, I don't know whether this is a good thing, or a bad thing...

But with all the battery storage we're accumulating, it can reach fairly heavy duty imports overnight.

How many of us are now in the 100 kWh Club?

Importing more than 100 kWh in one night?

Time to step out of the closet...

 

[PITA]

Thinking, I could probably import about 170 kWh if I really planned it... like a crazy person.

Have you got a 3 phase supply? 30kW is around 125A which is more than most of our main fuses could cope with!

Yes, 3-Phase supply with 80 Amp fuse.

They won't give me 100 Amp fuse in case I drain the Substation dry

Yep, happens to me every now and again.
I think my record is around 120kWh some time last winter.
This is a single phase connection with a 100A fuse.

As carbon intensity was very high last night I didn’t charge my car or heat the water so tonight I may well hit 100kWh again as I “catch up” during the lower carbon intensity time slots.

How is it again that the drug squad identify likely weed growers ?

Fortunately mostly by warm roofs. I hope!

Yes, I did wonder how many now are jumping past the 100 kWh marker.

Thats pretty impressive for Domestic Properties.

I dont know who will be most attentive, National Grid or Police Thermal Imaging Helicopters...

Argh, beat me to it

Well, as my draw is almost exclusively off peak and does not exceed the 100A they know I have (in fact my Gateway is configured not to allow my current to exceed around 95A) and my house is kept at a sensible 20 degrees Celsius, I am hoping neither of the two will be particularly bothered

I do pretty much everything on electricity, though (cooking, heating, domestic hot water and mobility) so hitting 100kWh in the middle of winter doesn't seem too unreasonable to me.

My house is REALLY well insulated ...

... weed is a REALLY good cash-crop

Not usually because I have a scheduler STOP the charge at the end of Off Peak - provided I'm not going somewhere back-to-back I'll fill up whatever I get on Off Peak on night one, and then top-off on Night Two (and maybe Three)
