Solar power on your home

[The Big B1]

Have to agree with Panner on this one. Its a pretty common piece of test equipment.
That said I wouldn't go using one of those $10 meters from supercheap or the like to test mains AC, they probably have less protection circuitry than your toaster.

Edit: Didn't notice there was a second page of conversation, this post was intended to be on page 1, not an attempt to restart an argument. Feel free to delete.

Big B1.... EEV blog fan..... ripper... love those vids.

Well.... my solar system.
It is currently 8750w and it supplies enough power to run the house entirely.
On grid usage was a measly 10kw hr per day so that was easily met with the array installed now.

Efficiency in the home and what your lifestyle is will be a much bigger factor than what 9/10 people think it is.

The house is an equation, energy in vs energy out.

B1.... 246v, that's a tad high.
