28 today... Patchy and getting duller from midday. Booo

This for me too. I'd go nuts thinking and checking figures every minute of the day... Can't stop my brain from wanting to squeeze every last bit out. Best to avoid it for me I think! Ironically losing the control is what is stopping me going intelligent flux - as what if octopus don't manage my...

Yeah I figured the cost part would be the case. It's fine - I mean it would be cheaper to just replace the shower and plumb into the oil combi boiler so no high power outlays! I was wondering if a second inverter and battery might help though?

So my 5kW hybrid inverter is clipping my 5.88kW array. Currently I have two rows of 7 panels on a south facing roof. Each row is on a separate string. The inverter is connected to a battery with a discharge rate of 3.6kW I think I'm at the limit of the system as I have no roof space left, but...

The Anker solution doesn't seem that worthwhile for my use case then if the limit is only 320W

To what extent can you DIY a system? I'm wondering if I can connect a couple of jinko panels to an Anker 767 and then run some appliances off that...

New record here too Generated 40.7 exported.38.28

19.58... a dull day mostly!

Likewise if you happen to be local to the south:)

Changing a PSU isn't too hard. Once you've done it once, you wouldn't be scared of it. That said I do understand trepidation. I would suggest, however, that paying that amount plus parts may not be financially worth it for that system.

Yeah I've had it a while ;) So what plugin do you use? I have tapo smart plugs working lovely with HA.

Just noticed, biggest export day ever so far too! 37.2

KC115 is what I have...

I'm intrigued by easy HA friendly cameras for around the home .. any recommendations?? Not too pricey? I had a tplink kasa, but it doesn't do HA live feed and intact it's debatable if it even likes HA... I've not tried too hard to get it to work,but I'd rather have something that just works...

I think today is my highest generation since install last year. 40.2 kWh I have 14 x 420W panels. Mid summer last year I had clear days but topped out at 37kWh Probably the cooler air temp helped as there was little drop in efficiency, plus clear bright day!

Ah a pi. I used to get quite a lot of issues with pi - as in the GivTCP would stop updating sensors and the only way to get it back working was a reboot. I never checked logs but (and I touch wood here) since moving my HA to hyper V on a micro pc, it's had 100% uptime. I'm not saying it's...

You are probably right - just thinking of all possible weak links. I use it too - haven't updated to latest version yet so am going to hold off.

GivTCP requires MQTT and stuff too - have you checked that all the 'pathways' are clear?? By that I mean that the required add-ons are still functional too?

Just shy of 20 today...

We did a few days for our honeymoon. Hired a car and stayed just outside Reykjavik (Hotel Laxness). We did blue lagoon one one day, drove the golden circle (gulfoss etc) another and went to Vik all on another day (southernmost tip) and did another day around the city... I think. Renting a car...
