54.90 kWh and 36.42 kWh exported yesterday - not going to be very good today ![Mad :mad: :mad:](/styles/default/xenforo/vbSmilies/Normal/mad.gif)

Ffs. SSE are useless. Both inverters kicking in and out. Grid error over voltage. My solar edge is reporting 263v.
Anything over 253 needs to be sorted, if they don't want to do anything go to energy ombudsman and make formal complaint to DNO if they don't want to sort it stating any damages to equipment due to the over voltage will be on them to replace.My supply almost topped 260V today. It has been trending up quite a bit lately but for the last couple of weeks it has barely been in spec. It dips back down in the evening so I expect that it is local microgeneration that is driving the voltage up but still, they need to be keeping on top of it as stuff will start getting damaged if it keeps on climbing.
I called SSE and reported the issue. Amazingly an oik arrived here last night at gone 6pm. Gutted I was out so my wife had to relay info. He turned everything off, said "cant see an issue" but somebody will come back on Monday and install some monitoring equipment.
Luckily I have HA log files.

I have noticed a similar problem recently and looking at HA & GivTCP to reduce this by gradually diverting to the batteries as the voltage peaks.Not a very good day today, but I was glad, given I was working outside, in the loft and on the roof running in cables for more solar.

I've a couple of times had to get someone out over the years, they tend not to believe you, but then you show them the logs, in my case it was the logs from the UPS. Not sure whether or not they did install a data logger, don't think they did on either occasion. The engineer last time told me they have to alter the tap point on the transformer twice a year to adjust the voltage, back then it was the early hours of the morning our voltage was rising.
Don't forget if your exporting you'll see more than grid voltage, your inverter will raise the voltage to export, but clearly the voltage is drifting too high - this is the reason the limit exports. The acceptable range is 216.2 to 253.0 volts
Outgoing on intelligent octopus is dropping to 8p/kWh from September 2nd![]()
If you look at my next post I corrected myself - it was for business panel rates, but likely to be reflected in domestic rates at some point.Where has this been mentioned? Mine was due (12 month fixed) to end in November. I contacted them yesterday and asked for a 12 month refix. They have it to me so I’m now fixed at 15p till next August.
