Intelligent Octopus Go without an EV?
Posted by: @iancalderbank@toodles charge rate one of the best bits about powerwall, part of why I went for it over others. 5kw PER powerwall. I have 3 so can (and do) pull 15kw to grid charge them during off-peak. and that is enough to supply any sane house load peak (I've broken through 10kw briefly with everything on).
to show how you can make best use of them with the heat pump: Yesterday evening from 9pm to 1130pm was the first time I've had to buy any on-peak electricity at all since I went to a fully electric house in march last year. heat pump COP dropped due to it being brass-monkey weather , sub zero morning, and zero sun where we are.
So you are the culprit behind NG (or whatever they are called, or going to be called) having to carryout such excessive upgrades. 😋
