Long power outage due to storm, cut consumption to about 100W ... battery holding up well. Hoping for some sunlight tomorrow morning, so I can fully charge up the house.
Very little sunlight ... down to my last 5.2 kWh ... which I can make last at least 2 days. Hopefully power will be back up in the next few hours. Already charging neighbours phones / set up community fridge etc.
Looks like power will be out until tomorrow night. The Tesla has stood up well so far, though it did seem to stop charging off sunlight for some reason. Hopefully we will get some Sun tomorrow.
Anyway, this will have been a really useful exercise. Lots to learn. Need to expand my batteries, look at that inverter / battery combination and find out why it stopped charging off solar, look at alternative power sources, look at cutting down consumption further.
X : 100W?
Me : One light, one cable router, one fridge, one phone ... you don't need a lot of power.

X : Why cable router?
Me : Main phone line, also the wee lads tablet uses it. We also have kindles etc ... it's all burning down battery power atm. I do need more accurate measurement though.

Hmmm ... latest update, no power until Monday. Hoping for a sunny day tomorrow.
