Hello everyone, I'm a newbie to the forums but I have completed the beginer and intermediate c-bus courses. Can anyone tell me if c-bus will work off the grid? My wife and I have decided to "go bush" and we are in the process of designing and then building an energy efficiant home but we also want to live normally without sacraficing any of the creature comforts of home. The property we are looking to purchase has no pwer available so a solar panel system along with a back up generator will be used to power the house. I was wondering if c-bus would work as an energy management system in this situation. For example if when we leave for work we could turn everything except the frige and freezer off. Then during the middle of the day when the solar panels are at there peak input have it so the dishwasher and washing machine come on. Thanks for any ideas or input. Robbie.
