How about a solar car port on a budget?
sidgy replied to Crossy's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
Hi Crossy, Do you know if the new electronic meters "clock up" units if i am exporting to the grid or just not "clocking down" We got changed to new meter and so i have unplugged one GTI so as not to produce more than our normal daytime consumption in case they do indeed charge for exporting -

If true then you will probably be buying it at least over 40% market value -

How about a solar car port on a budget?
sidgy replied to Crossy's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
Sorry for late replies, away at work, Yes, pretty sure they saw meter going backwards, they came a day early on the reading before last so it would have been going backwards. So, two days ago they came and changed us to a smart meter, wife had to sign, and the man said we good to plug back in now haha. Obviously it will delay ROI but will get there eventually. The man also said they were changing a lot of people with solar to smart meters so sounds like they are actively looking so beware -

non o visa, retirement,savann
sidgy replied to ba ba's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
So i am ten months into my ME NO marriage from savannakhet, is it possible to get one year extension from CW without having to get a 60 day extension first? I travel in/out LOS every three weeks so 60 day complicates things If not and i have to go savannakhet again, do i need to wait until current visa expires? TIA -
PEA found out meter is spinning backward
sidgy replied to eddysacc's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
To be fair, i totally understood the risk before installing my panels and will reach a ROI this year so not the end of the world for me. PEA/MEA do need to make money, but yes, for a greener future, they need to look at their policies WRT home solar instalations -
PEA found out meter is spinning backward
sidgy replied to eddysacc's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
Hoping we have not been caught out, meter has Always been read on the 5th of the month, so usually ensure we using more than producing but this week i found the bill in the postbox on late afternoon on the 4th !!! -
PEA and Solar how low can you go?
sidgy replied to MJCM's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
Our meter reading is always the 5th of the month, in the morning. The only exception was when i was caught out when he arrived a day early, mid afternoon when we max producing. The 5th was a holiday, cant remember what for but luckily he didn't notice/didn't report the backwards spinning meter -
They wanted to remain solvent ?

flying with Thai every three weeks direct to Europe. The price is the cheapest option and no stopover in the ME. Service is good, main meal better than other airlines, breakfast same as others.... dog s*** The worst thing is, unlike six months ago, the plane is 100% full every time now, i was getting quite accustomed to having a row to myself haha.

yeah, i remember 2011, many announcements how we not going to be flooded as this and that all being managed even as the waater was rising around our feet haha

Looks like its getting slightly better. Hope the worst is over for you.

PEA and Solar how low can you go?
sidgy replied to MJCM's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
As above. Within a couple of months, our usage from grid was down 60%, no concerns ever raised. When home, i always ensure we are using more then producing on meter reading day, when i'm away, i am fairly confident the wife is not so "methodical" Our bill is also creeping up as the wife is a lot more carefree with usage "as its free" haha
