The problem with the plug in solar kits is that they theoretically could have 240V sitting across the exposed pins of a 3 pin plug. This risk is resolved by not allowing the inverter to operate unless it can detect 240V AC at 50Hz It's not just a restriction of plug in solar. It's actually a featur...

so they are making it easy then... :D I fall at the first hurdle - no smart meter... That's not a hurdle, it's a boost, so long as your dumb meter is capable of, slowing, stopping or reversing in a grid feed scenario. It's a gotcha. Minute i submit a negative meter reading it will trigger a mandato...

My next door neighbour has just installed two solar panels and an inverter. Panels are on garden fence (and inverter too). But they are to reduce his electricity bill. He said you have to have electricity on or it could kill someone. I don't understand all that. Can't use them in a power outage. Sa...

If you do connect up, the instant you send energy to the grid, your smart meter will clock the export and notify your supplier and one day they MAY get you onto a list for investigating. It's not happened yet to the thousands of Plug In Solar early adopters, but it could cause tricky questions from...

A small obstacle for we ecoflow power stream owners..... as of 27 Aug, our inverter became non-compliant. No idea if/when it will re-comply ECOFL/21128/V1 Non-compliant 26/8/2026 EcoFlow Inc. Ecoflow Plug-In Solar device/ EF-PS-800 OK. So, the status quo is:- If you want to install a PowerStream PS...

Cooked a nice bit of (yellow sticker) beef for tea and as I pulled the roasting tray out of the oven it slipped and the liquid poured over my foot. EEk! That sounds bad but could have been much worse if it had splashed your leg or bare feet. Hope you cooled it in time. Just goes to show how dangero...

Looks a good possibility for me - to store smaller amounts at a time.

Not tried that device (Which I suspect will be under powered) but vac sealing mason jars works well

Has anyone registered their plug in solar at https://myplugin.solar/ ? Especially with an ecoflow device and home brewed kit? Seems you can't get to see if your device is on the list until registered with lots of Personally Identifiable Information. edit... You can see the list after just an email a...
