    Thanks for those details! That sounds like a great system and beats my failsafe of heating a big pot of water on the woodstove

      Hey, the pot of water solution is assembled in five minutes if you already have a pot and a stove, so resource wise you’ve got a bit of an advantage.

      I’ve spent a year alone on tinkering with the automation in regard to power prices and solar production, because I had to wait for every season and combination of temperatures outside, wind and solar radiation to… well, occur. It’s probably a bit overengineered but I like this kind of thing and using the available resources to an optimum (and having the stats to prove it 😁) is just an enjoyable past time for me.
