    Beat yer 3.32 O's; missed the delivery of the new "Wattson At Home" Gizzmo. Why do people use these courier companies to deliver to private households ? Okay if you deliver to a business, they are at their address 9-5 but the rest of us are away trying to earn a living. Sent by Royal Mail could have picked it up tonight, (local pick up TNT) Milton Keynes; 1.5 hours there and back! :mad: coffee.gif

    Hi O, or is it Oscar?!

    Can I ask where you got your Wattson? Everywhere seems to be out of stock unless you want to pay a 25% premium?

    Ta la
    4kWp, SSE, SolarEdge P300 optimisers & SE3500 Inverter, in occasionally sunny Corby, Northants.
    Now with added Sunsynk 5kw hybrid ecco inverter & 15kWh Fogstar batteries. Oh Octopus Energy too.

    Best on the market, hence your comment above. Suggest you go to

    http://www.diykyoto.com/uk/ and explain your difficulty, they will advise better than I.

    Only managed 1.64 O's today, but had a great day as my new gizzmo arrived. Another best on the market, and will be getting better as time goes on; shows not only current generation but the amount that you are currently using from the grid; less what you are generating; plus more, how cool is that.....even on your phone.....reckon my other 1/2 will be getting some phone calls if I see usage going too high during the day....:rotfl::rotfl:
