Update from the Solar Front (Patreon)

Before I start my summer break, I want to provide you with a small update. Yes, I am back from my Route 66 trip, and it was awesome! The 1200 km bicycle tour with my wife from the Atlantic Ocean to Basel was a little less fun because we had to abord in the middle of France because my wife got ill. Fortunately, she is ok now.

And the solar panels? Each plant already produced more than 1 MWh! And nobody consumed energy from the grid (with small exceptions I will explain in my video about the functioning of inverters). I already sold energy for 200 $ (if my calculations are right). And I was able to hack my Huawei inverter and connect it to Node-Red using Modbus TCP. 

Next month we should get the Backup Box to be independent if the grid is down. With all the discussions in Europe a good thing, I think.

You see, a lot of stuff for update videos after the summer break.

The above picture shows today's results. It was a beautiful day. In the morning, the battery was charged (blue part) and afterward we started to sell electricity (green part). The red part is our consumption (covered by blue during the day).

I thank you for your support and wish you a wonderful time till September!
