Thank you for your comment, glad you enjoyed the video. We have not yet received a confirmed date however when we do we will be sure to update our socials.
ive just gone on to Octopus Go and all my solar is going to the grid . ive had the installer out twice and they dont know why, and my Zappi on Eco pluss it drawing from the battery . Do you have any ideas ?
Thanks for commenting. We can help with this! If you get in touch with our engineer David by info@thenaturalenergycompany.co.uk we will get this sorted for you.
Would it not be good practice to leave a loop on the input cables to allow an expansion pack to be fitted without having to re-wire or is there some slack in the loft that could hopefully pulled through?
Thank you for the comment. There are a few options available to best suit your property and preference, this is just one option available. Glad you enjoyed the video!
We indicative price around £8,500 but it is dependant on the configuration and cable routes. I hope this is helpful. If you would like more information, please reach out to our team at 01382 543375 and they can offer more clarity based on your home.
I am old enough to remember being told nuclear power would generate limitless energy and be virtually free. Sadly this aspiration was never realised. Unfortunately, it's not possible. Vested interests will prevent this from happening. To name two reasons there are equipment, servicing costs and return for investors in power plants already in production or about to be commissioned. The government will protect the status quo. Nevertheless, we should all aspire to realise this dream. Great video. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing your perspective! While challenges remain, we believe it's still worth striving for more accessible and sustainable energy solutions. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Great video. Just asking for some advice, had a EV for a couple of years and just ordered a Powerwall 3 and Heat Pump. I’m currently on the EV tariff at 7p cheap rate for 6 hours with Octopus, I’ve been looking at the Cosy tariff with 3 cheaper rates. Can you charge the Powerwall at the 3 cheaper rates then discharge when it’s more costly? Thanks Ste
Yes, once your new Powerwall is installed you can input the details of your tariff into your Tesla App with each of the different peak and off peak periods. Time-Based Control uses this tariff information to optimise how your Powerwall charges and discharges to lower the cost of energy consumption. This is often referred to as load shifting. Head over to our website www.thenaturalenergycompany.co.uk to read our latest blog on load shifting. Thanks!
i definately think you missed a opportunity there,with a true south gable wall, you could have vertically mounted some panels on it proably in landscape orientation maybe 6 to give all 3 aspects ??
A south facing array would be great generation however for this customer the array installed was more than enough for their electricity consumption. The homeowners also preferred an array to be streamlined with the roof so in this case an east and west facing array was what we went for. Thank you for your comment!
Love this. Don't live in Scotland and never will but cheaper Electricity for Scotland would drive Scotland forward in employment, energy innovation and adoption of new technology which will gradually spread south. It is in the national interest as energy curtailment and import costs will be saved. Envy should not prevent the national interest. Have subscribed to follow the progress and would urge everyone to like and subscribe and blow whistles and bang drums.
Thanks for the support! Cheaper electricity in Scotland could definitely drive innovation, boost jobs, and benefit the whole country in the long run. Glad to have you onboard, and appreciate you subscribing to follow the journey!
An admirable objective. Guaranteed, cheap and reliable energy is an essential basis for the sustainable growth of any ecconomy. This will definately work if there adequate reserve or stored capacity, accessible to all, for 5 days electricity. Even the German greens and identified this and widened their acceptance of input power sources to support the bas load capability. I like your idea of using the wasteful curtailment payments paid to foreign owned comapnies, to be diverted into the direct support of the populous and economy and welcome a 5 day UPS in my own home (replaced every 10 years after excessive degradation) as a way of creating distributed backup capacity.
Thanks for your insight! We agree-affordable, reliable energy is key for sustainable growth. A 5-day UPS backup would be a great way to boost energy security, and redirecting curtailment payments to support the public and economy is a smart move. Decentralised backup power like this could really help stabilise the grid!
The electricity production in Scotland has been an investment by the UK government. The scots dont own it so why shoild they get cheaper electricity. They benefit by being in the Uk
Thank you for your comment. While energy infrastructure has been supported by UK-wide investments, renewable energy projects in Scotland contribute significantly to the grid. Our focus is on ensuring affordable, sustainable energy for everyone, and as renewables grow, so do the benefits for both local and national economies.
Can I use a PW2 for V2H powersharing with the proper Gateway and Wall Charger? Getting ready to get two PW2s installed on my existing Enphase AC-Coupled PV system.
Powerwall 2 won't support V2H however Powerwall 3 does have it built in for future use. I would suggest changing to Powerwall 3 if you wish to make use of this in the future. I hope this helps.
Thanks for the advice. I want a ASHP to replace my gas bolier. My pipes to radiator are 10mm. How does one go about changing them to 15mm - isn't that going to mean ripping up all the walls and be prohibitively expensive? What cost is involved?
It ultimately depends on how much pipework you need to change in order to achieve the radiator output you require. A qualified heat engineer should be able to tell you this and advise accordingly. You don't always need to change full runs but ideally you do to reduce balancing down the line. In terms of costs, it's hard to predict without knowing how much pipework needs to be changed. Hope this helps.
Thank you for your comment! Our goal is to offer innovative energy solutions that enhance reliability and sustainability for homes and businesses. We believe in empowering our customers with clean, efficient, and cost-effective energy options. We hope our videos are helpful in your journey to renewables.
While battery storage costs are still high, prices have been steadily decreasing, and advancements in technology are making it more affordable and efficient each year. We hope it reaches a point where everyone can gain the benefits from this technology!
I would move there if that was the case nz is not a place to live nor is it a place to work not only does the country never make money it sell all off its products cheaper than the Girl Scout cookies
Free or very low cost energy is an achievable goal for Scotland. This goal is crucial to allow Scotland to grow the economy, to attract industry/services, grow employment and wages. This will make Scotland a +++ place to live and grow family and community. 👏👏👏👏
This is the best video ive seen on the app. my problem is although it estimates in pence so it must know im in the UK when i try to add my none Tesla car for using their super chargers when i fill in my details it asks for my state and zip code , i have set it to the UK but it still thinks im in the US , How can i set it up for UK ? many thanks .
Thank you very much. We are so glad it is helpful. Regarding your question, I'm afraid you may have to contact Tesla directly for this. If it's showing as the incorrect currency it may be something to do with your account setup. Sorry I can't be of more help.
Cost factor versus other batteries really doesn't come into the equation. By the time you've invested into a similar storage capacity from another brand you'll be more expensive than one Powerwall. You also won't have all the technology that is within Powerwall. It's the best value, best in class, battery on the market today.
I've just ordered pw3 and solar, being fitted in September. Am on intelligent octopus go, so thinking will charge battery through night at 7p then sell surplus of this plus solar generation back at 15p through day which is what octopus pay to export. Aim to get battery down to 10% by midnight, then go again. Have you looked into this option? Any thoughts?
This is a good tactic but Powerwall 3 will take over for you, it's all automatic. You need to issue your buy and sell prices and it will do the rest for you based upon its machine learning algorithms. It will ensure you are getting the most out of the system. It's quite clever like that!
So glad I found your tutorial, it was concise, the production was easy to watch and the technical content was superb. Getting ready to add two PW3s to my existing Enphase PV system (31 panels producing 12.5 kWh). This is a marriage made in solar heaven. I was able to size our PV system to cover 125% of our annual consumption and that included our Tesla. We oversized to account for low production in winter, system degradation, and adding ESS. In addition to our 30% federal tax credit, my utility pays a CASH REBATE of $300 US for every kW of battery storage. So this made the decision even easier. Can't wait to become an "ISLAND", we will sleep better. Cheers from the US.
Hey mate great video thanks for sharing. i still have a question. Is there any chance to set up a charging limit. I learnt its better for.the battery in terms of lifespan if it is not fully charged all the time. ☀️☀️
Whilst this can be a common point with batteries, Powerwall will ensure it takes care of its own health and lifespan day to day. The aggregate throughput of the Powerwall is limited as per the warranty however it is unlikely you will go through this during the 10 year life span. I hope this helps!
I was just listening to the Batteries included podcast and they had a battery scientist on. He said no matter what the chemistry is that you want to charge slowly and only be at a low or high charge state for short periods of time.
