Thank you for your comment, glad we can still offer our insight on this tech further afield. Hopefully you can find an installer near you!

Thank you for your comment, glad you liked the video!

Thank you for your comment! I'm so glad you have found the video useful. The Tesla app really complements the system well and it is good to just learn more about how you use your energy. Happy to hear your Powerwalls are working well!

Thanks for your comments. That's brilliant you are trying out a lower flow temp. It really does make the world of difference for an efficient system. Regarding your other comment, this is a great question. It really depends on how your current microbore is plumped. It can either be plumbed in a radial or branch system. For a microbore to work efficiently with a heat pump, a radial system is best. Your plumber should be able to let you know how they did it. I hope this helps! Good luck with your system.

Thanks for your comment. Yes, the team installed an earth rod by the exterior wall to the gateway.

Thank you for your comment. Powerwall has an output of 11.04kW to the house and in this case only 7.6kW to the grid. The grid take into account all generators on site and add them up to get to the figure of what your total site generation is. This is then reflected in your export permissions. I hope this helps.

@@TheNaturalEnergyCompany Ah so the Gateway can be set to allow x amount to go to the grid and the DNO are happy with that ?

@@highland-oldgit The commissioning sets up what export allowance you have as per your DNO approval, up to 11.04kW.

Ethernet is run to the PW3!

Thank you for the feedback, we are glad you found the video useful!

Thank you for your comment. Your installer should quote you both Powerwall and the gateway. Good luck with your installation!

Thank you for your comment. Yes, one of our directors David has completed the full Mastery course!

@@TheNaturalEnergyCompany Thought so, that knowledge shines thru'.

@@davidreece1642 Thank you! HG is a brilliant resource.

Thank you for your comment, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Regarding the issue you are having, what tariff are you currently on?

@@TheNaturalEnergyCompany I'm on Intelligent Octopus Go. The microwave and kettle go on after 07:30 and I've set the app to know that this is not the cheap period.

Something else that manufacturers and installers skate over or ignore: the inverter efficiency curve and its implications. Broadly, the efficiency of ALL inverters falls off a cliff when operating at below 20% of rated capacity, and with a small array like your example or a larger one with significant shading, choosing of a large inverter such as the 11.5kW PW3 means the system will be at low power for FAR MORE of the time than is predicted by the (California-based) CEC-weighting formula that Tesla quotes. And therefore at low efficiency. When will this be at its worst? At high latitudes, and in Winter - just when you need it most. So why do no commentators focus on this and force manufacturers to publish?

@@falfield Thank you for your comments, so glad you like the video. As an answer to your questions. The purpose of capturing more energy from solar is to either use it later in the day or export it when the price is higher. Exporting at a fixed rate is fine but if you can store it, and export to be paid more later that day, this is better. It is of course a payback analysis though. Powerwall 3's inverter is efficient all the way down to -20C. The cells are also maintained at a minimum temperature of 0C to maximise the output. It's the only battery designed to go outside.

Thank you for your comment. Tesla recommends a backup reserve percentage of atleast 20%. The more you learn about your typical usage, the more confident you can be with setting your own reserve. If you have Solar PV then throughout the year it may be worth adjusting lower in the summer, when you know the Solar power will kick back in to top you up during a prolonged outage, and a bit higher in the winter when your generation is lower. It is worth remembering that Storm Watch will charge to maximum capacity anyway when triggered to prepare for potential outages in weather warnings!

Thank you!

Thank you for the comment! That is great a heat pump has integrated so well into your home. New builds with excellent insulation really take to the technology well! If we can offer a heat pump with minimal disruption to the pipework already in place it is brilliant!

Thank you for your comment, glad you enjoyed the video. We have not yet received a confirmed date however when we do we will be sure to update our socials.

Thanks for commenting. We can help with this! If you get in touch with our engineer David by info@thenaturalenergycompany.co.uk we will get this sorted for you.

Thanks for your comment. This is really exciting! Im sure you will be amazed by the performance of such a system.

Thank you!

Thank you for the comment. There are a few options available to best suit your property and preference, this is just one option available. Glad you enjoyed the video!

Thank you! Yes, the team installed an earth rod into the ground next to the exterior wall by the gateway.

We indicative price around £8,500 but it is dependant on the configuration and cable routes. I hope this is helpful. If you would like more information, please reach out to our team at 01382 543375 and they can offer more clarity based on your home.

Thanks for sharing your perspective! While challenges remain, we believe it's still worth striving for more accessible and sustainable energy solutions. Glad you enjoyed the video!

Thank you. We are really pleased with how sleek Powerwall 3 looks on the home!

Yes, once your new Powerwall is installed you can input the details of your tariff into your Tesla App with each of the different peak and off peak periods. Time-Based Control uses this tariff information to optimise how your Powerwall charges and discharges to lower the cost of energy consumption. This is often referred to as load shifting. Head over to our website www.thenaturalenergycompany.co.uk to read our latest blog on load shifting. Thanks!

At the moment we are unsure however once we have more clarity we will share with our community. Thank you!

A south facing array would be great generation however for this customer the array installed was more than enough for their electricity consumption. The homeowners also preferred an array to be streamlined with the roof so in this case an east and west facing array was what we went for. Thank you for your comment!

Thank you!

Glad you liked it!

Glad you liked it, thanks!

Thank you!

Thanks for the support! Cheaper electricity in Scotland could definitely drive innovation, boost jobs, and benefit the whole country in the long run. Glad to have you onboard, and appreciate you subscribing to follow the journey!

Thanks for your insight! We agree-affordable, reliable energy is key for sustainable growth. A 5-day UPS backup would be a great way to boost energy security, and redirecting curtailment payments to support the public and economy is a smart move. Decentralised backup power like this could really help stabilise the grid!

Thank you for your comment. While energy infrastructure has been supported by UK-wide investments, renewable energy projects in Scotland contribute significantly to the grid. Our focus is on ensuring affordable, sustainable energy for everyone, and as renewables grow, so do the benefits for both local and national economies.

Powerwall 2 won't support V2H however Powerwall 3 does have it built in for future use. I would suggest changing to Powerwall 3 if you wish to make use of this in the future. I hope this helps.

It ultimately depends on how much pipework you need to change in order to achieve the radiator output you require. A qualified heat engineer should be able to tell you this and advise accordingly. You don't always need to change full runs but ideally you do to reduce balancing down the line. In terms of costs, it's hard to predict without knowing how much pipework needs to be changed. Hope this helps.

See above as I’ve 10mm pipes and my system works well. We are in our 70 and like heat so our house is set to 23°c all day and 20°c at night. We live in a 10 year old three bedroom semi.

Thank you for your comment! Our goal is to offer innovative energy solutions that enhance reliability and sustainability for homes and businesses. We believe in empowering our customers with clean, efficient, and cost-effective energy options. We hope our videos are helpful in your journey to renewables.

While battery storage costs are still high, prices have been steadily decreasing, and advancements in technology are making it more affordable and efficient each year. We hope it reaches a point where everyone can gain the benefits from this technology!

It would be life changing for many homes across Scotland!

Thank you very much. We are so glad it is helpful. Regarding your question, I'm afraid you may have to contact Tesla directly for this. If it's showing as the incorrect currency it may be something to do with your account setup. Sorry I can't be of more help.

@@TheNaturalEnergyCompany OK thanks

Cost factor versus other batteries really doesn't come into the equation. By the time you've invested into a similar storage capacity from another brand you'll be more expensive than one Powerwall. You also won't have all the technology that is within Powerwall. It's the best value, best in class, battery on the market today.
