Two plug in solar units + battery

How frowned upon is my idea...

I can get nicely priced plug in solar units (1000W panels, 800W inverters, so within the new UK spec), but it'll basically only just cover my daily usage as I work from home.

So I'd like a second of the same kit. And then I'd like to install a battery, so any excess goes to that and I take the excess back from the battery in the evening.

The plug in solar units explicitly state they must not be connected to a battery - which is fine. I'll connect to the AC.

I don't intend on registering the plug in solar units as I don't want to sell back to the grid. I will probably utilise 100% of the energy every day.

Am I "allowed" to do this? Two plug in solar products, plus battery, no professional install except for the mounting of the solar units.

Grouping by Date

I'm a brand new user and have just scanned my photo library which is stored on a kind of USB-NAS device, which I'm accessing via rclone.

The folder tree is:
Lightroom Saved Photos
-- YYYY/MM/DD Location
-- YYYY/MM/DD Location
-- YYYY/MM/DD Location
-- YYYY/MM/DD Location
etc

immich has found the photos but is just displaying a wall of photos. I'd like to have thumbnails that relate to the folder tree, so each thumbnail would be a folder within Lightroom Saved Photos

Here's what I see right now

And here's what I'd like it to look like

If it isn't already obvious, I don't want to have to create albums manually to do this as I have many hundreds of folders to administer.

How do I go about doing this please?

Cannot connect to Alexa Skill

I receive the message "Unable to link the skill at this time".

I have tried in the Alexa app and I have also tried via a chrome browser on the desktop via the Amazon website.

Ring Video Doorbell Pro (newest gen) - connection slows to nothing when talking

Quick context:
When someone rings the doorbell and I connect so I can speak to them, the connection almost immediately drops to nothing and kicks me out.

When I'm watching the doorbell Live, the connection will be anywhere from 3-5Mbps. As a test I had it open through the whole time I wrote this post and it's still working perfectly.

This didn't happen on my old 1st gen Pro which I had for six years with no problems.

I think this behaviour is caused by something Ring have enabled on the newer Pro doorbells. I did notice with my brand new Samsung TV that it also somehow detected the Ring doorbell and would display it when 'rung', and I do have two Echo Show devices but I'm not sure if they also display a live feed.

My internet speed test confirms it's not my WAN upload/download I should be worried about. Stats are:
811.8 Mbps download
901.1 Mbps upload

I also have a mesh WiFi network which is 6E capable and no other devices in my home fail this way. One of the mesh devices is literally sat on the opposite side of the brick to the doorbell.

Power output is Level 1 (good) and RSSI is 61.

Any ideas?
