Day-one wrap-up at Everything Electric Sydney

Fully Charged Sydney 2024

Wrapping up our first day at Fully Charged Show’s Everything Electric Sydney. Guest panelist for Evie Networks discussing better public charging. Attended several panel discussions in the Giga Theatre and Mega Theatre. Spotted a few solar race cars.

I grilled the team at the Enphase Energy stand on how I can turn off my solar production remotely. No satisfactory answer yet, so I’ll be back to grill them tomorrow.

We asked the fire warden how many EV fires have occurred here so far. He said “zero” in sign, in the photo. Unsurprising since there have only been six EV fires in Australia (ever), none of them while charging.

Finished off laughing, watching Jack Scarlett and Imogen Bhogal, from Fully Charged Show, cooking Pad Thai on an induction stove. Hosted by Zoe Bingley-Pullin (previously hosted Good Chef, Bad Chef).

Back again tomorrow.

  1. I can remotely zero export limit and turn off our production with Enphase Energy.

    It's a home solution using the Enphase Envoy Digital inputs and a relay.

      1. Tesla Tripping it's a modified version of this

        Replaced the gateway details with a relay controlled by you. I have it set to 1% export when activated to effectively zero export limit. I have been told you can set it to 0% and it switches off.

        I have a relay between the DRM0 and common to turn off and on solar.

        You should be able to query the Enphase guys on this solution.

    1. Bruce Cowie I was wondering that myself. I don’t think so, since I didn’t notice camera equipment.
