5:34 tbh the amount of otimizers you used always amazed me since at least from my view of what i could see in the video often they are not necessary since there all in the same direction with no trees or other objects around that could throw shade up on the panels so at least in my opinion from the information that i have based on the videos it is cash thrown out off the window, one could argue that it might be safer since the don´t give power out when they are not active (at least that has someone told me since i never used them myself here in germany i know they exist but tahts all) but the panels power is isolated from the rest so there should be no problem as long as you don´t touch both ends

Tesla were reluctant to allow bi directional because of cycling of their old style battery chemistry AND they obviously didn't want to effect sales of their powerwalls. Perhaps they'll change, but who knows what Elon is currently thinking? BYD cars are all able to supply V2L, so presumably they can be easily adapted to bi directional? MG has started offering a lifetime warranty on their batteries, so excessive cycling is presumably not an issue for their technology.

[@ianrob4760]

lets say a battery is 60kwh and you drive normal mileage you probably have to charge once a week ? well say you WFH and use the car not a lot (as me) then 60kwh could power the house for like 4/5 days so cycling is not that much more ? the bigger positive is to have a virtual power grid where you charge up overnight and then release at the day during peak time. given most homes are only 2 phase and can only charge/release max 7kwh then this is not going to overload is it ?

When you talk about V2H, don't limit the discussion to bidirectional chargers. Some vehicles have onboard inverters that provide AC directly and can be used as in place of a portable generator. The Ford Pro Power Onboard (F150 Lightning) has a 30A 240V split phase connection that provides 7.2kW.

[@paulnelson8142]

We have a V2H bidirectional Indra charger installed and it has been a superb bit of kit. We run two Nissan leafs and our electricity bill this month combined with solar has been negative £40. We run the house and commute to work so do a fair few miles as well. That tech is a no brainer in my opinion!

For the industrial battery storage, I reckon the big players will dominate like Schneider, Eaton , Vertiv etc. They're known in those circles already and well respected.

[@johnthomas338]

3:30 roof mounting bi-facial solar panels has to be a complete waste of time - what amount of reflected light is there underneath a solar panel that is six inches or less away from roof tiles that are in the shade? For ground mounting, they are a good idea, but on roofs, why waste the money on more expensive bi-facials, which simply cannot be getting any light from underneath?

The main obstacle for perovskite panels was the durability issue. Has this been overcome? Let's see if they have a 25 year plus warranty at the lower price.

Hi, When you were talking about v2h, you mentioned some manufacturers readying products to allow people (me!) to use my car to power my home. My question is:- Do you think there will be a possibility that cars that don't support bidirectional charging (like my 2022 Kona) will get an aftermarket addition to allow this. It seems such a shame that electric cars are sitting on driveways, but not able to contribute to the home's energy needs, while the homeowner has to buy expensive electricity from the Grid. I live in hope. I always enjoy your videos. I have a technical background, but I'm not an electrician. I still find your content really interesting.

There are two ways of doing this - inverter in the car, connected to the grid via a 'standard' type2 charge point - which is after all just a contactor with some logic control. Or you have the inverter in the charge point and connect it directly to the battery. The former seems sensible because loads of cars have V2L now but you then need to worry about syncing this up with the grid frequency and being subject to various regulatory bodies across the world - do car manufacturers want to do that? The SolarEdge unit that's been announced is the latter type - it connects to the car via CCS, so it's essentially connected directly to the battery. This makes the charge point hardware much more complex and expensive but it means it can be bidirectional. All that's needed is to pursuade the car to keep the battery contactor closed. It's likely this will probably require collaboration between SolarEdge, and similar products, and the car manufacturers but I can see that you could just lie to the car about what's going on. It isn't what the charging firmware is designed for, so it may be the car will consider the charger faulty and disconnect.... but either way, it would be interesting to see if this can allow older cars like my 2020 Niro to become a home battery.

8:20 - those 580 Wp panels save about 10% of the cost of the underconstruction, the amount of profiles and clamps needed on the roof Also more or less 10 to 15% cheaper based of price per kWp installed. We have build a 25 kWp array on 2 roofs and with 550 Wp and 580 Wp you need lot less panels which means less rails cause these are all 110 cm or 113 cm wide like those 450 Wp panels, only 50 cm taller. And we have already seen next gen of 660 Wp which are even 25 cm longer so from 225 cm those jumped to 250 cm. WIth 30 kg weight they are not easy to carry around but 60 x 400 Wp or 40 x 600 Wp is making a huge difference costwise at the end, when you can not save money elsewhere. Our average costs for a panel mounting is 40€ and 60x means 2400€ or 1600€ for just 40 panels. If you put on top 25 kWp x 150€ or 15% less like 128€ then you save 22€ x 25 per kWp or 550€ on top, in tota 2100€ for 25 kWp array. BUT, and that can be a big but for some: Those bigger panels (once built for our agro PV fields) do not fit always quite well. If they are too tall you might loose 1 row of panels or you have to mount those horizontally. If you would have smallest tiles you could perfectly cover a roof into all edges and corners, but with bigger ones you might endup with areas you can not use with such sizes . There will be another step to look for a smaller size to check if you can get more kWp installed on your roof using a smaller panel size. And then smaller could be better if you are in need of such an amount of kWp that every spot of the roof has to be covered by panels. Perovskite are a topic here in germany for almost 2 years and we bet that they will be the future due to the current state of research and progress but they suffer from new production methods required, more faulty units in the early batches and all the small details till that will become the new standard. Mono and poly was an open battle for years, then we saw halfcell appearing and what not tilll those became the standard. And perovskite is on top of the list due to the high leap that tech has shown up to over 28% in serial production compared to 21% or 22% . The current production is progressing steadily but rather slowly and not much room for improvement except the tiny steps every 6 - 12 months with 30 Wp more per panel of the same size.

I don't think that there's much future in using a car battery as a battery for your house - what you're doing there is adding unnecessary cycles to your car, which even with LiFePO4 batteries is a really questionable thing to do to a car battery, given they're not exactly hot swappable (in fact they're normally built into the chassis). A wall battery that you will probably want to swap out anyway after a certain amount of time doesn't have the same issues. Maybe in an emergency, but to build all that tech for an emergency is super questionable - and most cars aren't LiFePO4 either. Vehicle manufacturers don't care because it isn't their battery when you drive the car away, it's an easy thing to shove into warranty terms that it isn't their problem on page 673826. Cars aren't disposable, you're going to destroy its secondary market value because everybody is going to be able to see the data.

Really? Average daily mileage in the UK is less than 30 miles, thats about 6 or 7kWh of energy. Using another 20 kWh of the stored energy would still only be using around 30% of the stored energy. What's more, the average charge/discharge rates for home usage are absolutely trivial - 2kWh of domestic load would be barely 0.03C not stressing the battery at all.

Almost any electric car can provide power through the CCS DC port(for V2G or V2H). Such a possibility is already included in the management protocol. But the manufacturers have not yet announced this possibility, they are probably really worried about the warranty on the battery. Specialists who understand the protocols can easily implement this, of course not officially. You can also use Tesla car batteries and high-voltage inverters to get cheap storage, 60 kWh or more in volume. 100kWh for 10k dollars, an interesting offer)))

[@evahsia]

The appropriate protocol being in the spec does not mean that the capability is in most electric vehicles. Manufacturers need to install the extra hardware to support the outgoing DC power. This is why only a few models of each manufacturer are listed as supporting V2H/G. And if manufacturers are worried about the warranty, why do both Ford and GM provide the capability in their pickup trucks (in North America).

[@steve11211]

Yeah I have have 3 cars soon to be 4 how am I going to charge them mate with out paying loads of money? When they are trying to go all electric in houses we just haven’t got the power captain!

[@justinjoanknecht3475]

@@justinrowe3346 if you're telling me you need to charge 4 vehicles to 100% every night (say 250kWh a day) of every month, you might have an issue on single-phase but that's unlikely......with 3-phase and load balancing it could be done but, come on, how many miles are the household doing? we run 2 cars now and have for several years and it's unbelievably cheap, we average 1.4p a mile which is a fraction of cost of petrol. If you're serious about this question, get in touch and I'll help you...

@@justinrowe3346 The average vehicle only travels ~40Km a day. With battery ranges of 400km + a 4 car household could rotationally charge each car every 4th day without any issues. Charging time from a standard power outlet to cover 160km is ~10 hours. Higher amperage outlets can reduce that time down to ~4 hours. Which can be done in the wee small hours while electricity demand is much lower, so plenty of spare capacity to accommodate the charging power. And of course supercharges can be used as well if necessary. So there you go Justin, you can have a 4 car EV household no problem. In so far as the whole grid’s ability to cope, even when every car on the road is an EV total electric demand will only increase by ~15%. And as long as most charging occurs outside of peak consumption periods there is generally plenty of headroom in the grid infrastructure. Though electricity authorities are planning to increase grid capacity over the next 30-40 years to match the increase of EVs.

Sounds like a pain in the ass to me mate and a lot of money bud how much is it to replace a battery on a car ? That’s why people are coming away from electric cars because they are not convenient !

Have you ever used Hone panels? I ask because all the new products have the same problem - they're brilliant in the summer but weak in the winter. In other words, exactly the wrong way around for the average consumer's needs. Hone make big claims and post data to 'prove' their value (high outputs in winter) but I'm suspicious when I can find no happy customers here or experts such as yourself who have used them.

Anyone who thinks that highly diffuse and intermittent energy-generating sun boards and wind veins will ever make a real difference to the net zero bullshit is a halfwit. In a first-world country, anything that generates at about one-third of installed capacity and which is used for heating or A/C is useless unless you spend a mega fortune on your renewable array and battery storage. Moreover, bi-directional EV charging is also bullshit. Batteries take more energy to charge than they give out. To suggest that they can be used as backup power for anything more than light general services (LED lighting, TV, computer etc) in your home and then powering your car might be reasonable short term, anything more than that (heating, cooling) is more nonsense.

This shite is why the regs changes every 2 minutes. All chatting shite whilst the industry still struggles to deliver decent domestic installs. Worst thing we ever did becoming IET.

Invisible panels, no one cares. Sides of buildings are probably rotten places, always half in shadow, especially in cities to put panels on anyway. Roof tiles shown look rubbish, perhaps industrial rooves? Perovskite too small a gain and still not actually here for some time. Maybe in a decade. Vehicles, we may well not be owning them soon as they will be on demand and driverless. So the use period may turn out short.
