Installing PV Solar Panels using a Water Tank as the Battery.. Halved my Power bill @MartyT

Uploaded October 2021 | Updated September 2026, 4 days ago

After living off grid for years, I'm not used to paying for power.
So I decided to reduce the power bill at the town house by feeding solar power into an ac/dc water heating element in my hot water cylinder.
Very happy with the results, it has more than halved my power bill.
