The axle event is 7-8pm so maybe its over a longer time, looks like a capacity shortage as solar winds down and wind is very low.

Nothing here

Edit: just got it at 3.24pm

I’ve opted in but my NAS seems to have gone offline so Predbat isn’t running and I am not around to fix it.

jackboy · Wednesday at 15:38

NAS got hot?

This is way higher than Flux export so will delay discharge

Ron-ski · Wednesday at 15:53

Opted in as well, as I always do, but will have some baseline as I export every evening, but not at full power.

Mercenary Keyboard Warrior · Wednesday at 15:55

Yeah my baseline can be a pain this time of year as usually exporting from 2pm onwards until 8pm or so due to west facing
Yesterdays base was 1.12kwh but today being later its only 0.46 so not that bad
Will likely export 3kwh or so but its another extra £1.50 towards the ROI

Yes that is quite possible given it is in the loft!

I had configured it follow previous state on power loss but it looks like that previous state was shutdown as it was consuming 1-3w so power cycling it’s smart plug did nothing. I seemingly haven’t configured wake on lan.

I refuse to give GivEnergy any money for cloud services and I seeming can’t connect to the inverter via the GIV app using Unifi teleport.

I may give this one a miss.

Update: I’m in, unifi teleport came through on cellular.

Ron-ski · Wednesday at 20:40

A whole £2.52 extra, baseline was only -2.87 kWh, and I exported 7.81 kWh in total.

Here is the issue, I can’t reconnect the inverter to remove the export

Yup same. Managed to get the setting updated remotely (**** GivEnergy).

jackboy · 2026-06-25T15:23:52+0100
