HA needs to be running continously, if it's off for a day or two when it reads the figures which are often totals it will think you used/generated it all on the same day.Thought id fire up home assistant see if I can figure out how to sort the cards out on custom dashboard and I think something is wrong lol
ah I see, I will hold off trying it again then til I get something low power to slap it on otherwise ill be doing a new install every day just to play with it lol.HA needs to be running continously, if it's off for a day or two when it reads the figures which are often totals it will think you used/generated it all on the same day.
I charge every morning, it's a win win situation. You get paid more to export than it costs to import, and if its a bad solar day you have a full battery.Think im going to charge from grid during flux rate from now one, had been putting it off and loving not watching my meter reading go up but its better than getting caught with pants down if battery dont make it throughout the day lol.
I tried importing on less sunny days, I only have a 2.9kWh panel setup so dull days hurt me charge wise. I have 15kWh of batteries so I am battery rich, panel poor. Forcing export to get back the outlay and maybe balance the books on any day would only work for me if I sacked the wife! 4-7pm is cooking time and not just 1 appliance at a time either. So for me it ended up costing me a £1 a day after exporting some in the 5-16:00hr period.I charge every morning, it's a win win situation.

Do the garden array, you know you want too…..do it, do it, do it lolI tried importing on less sunny days, I only have a 2.9kWh panel setup so dull days hurt me charge wise.

I guess when winter comes I will have to bite the bullet and do as Ron does and hard charge 2-5am and discharge the batteries at say 2kW/hr during the day while the house takes the other 1kW for long enough to balance the books.
I'm trying to resist the large garden ground panel array temptation
Its temping to put panels across the rear south facing walls of my house, and perhaps even a solar veranda over the decking.Do the garden array, you know you want too…..do it, do it, do it lol
Your banned from the thread, for having to much solar space available……unless i can run a 200mile extension from your solar veranda to my new 1000kw inverter ( i wish ) lolIts temping to put panels across the rear south facing walls of my house, and perhaps even a solar veranda over the decking.
Panels are 20kgs each……..sure the roof can take a few of those.i am wondering about solar panels on my mancave it's a single story very slight sloping flat roof (slope is east facing )
my main concern is whether it will take the weight as it's not the best built extension in the world.
