Once again I find myself in a "hurry up and wait" situation.
We're supposed to be getting a house battery installed. In preparation, I actually forced the server rack to charge the batteries overnight (it finished at 04:00) because yesterday was a crap day for solar. The sparkies are supposed to be here at 10:00AM.
It is now 12:02PM… just got a text message that they're now on their way here.
The plan is that we'll be decommissioning the ~2 year old solar inverter and re-routing the power from the mains panels to the new inverter on the battery. We'll also be installing a new circuit for the laundry, which will take the two biggest loads (washing machine and dryer) off of GP1 where the fridge will ultimately go once painting finishes.
There's a spare CT currently unused in the power board… and I've got three more in a box. Programming the meter will take only a moment (CET's PMCSetup works fine in WINE).
This is the calm before the storm.

Home battery is now connected. We have seen in various disasters that being without grid power for weeks at a time is becoming more frequent. Acknowledging my privilege that lets me strengthen my household resilience in the way. #EmergencyPreparedness #HouseBattery #NaturalDisasters #resilience
