Renewables: "talking 'bout my generation"

Hi Jonokimber, I see you have a Growatt inverter, and I only recently started another thread concerning a friend who had a 3.2Kw installation using a 3.6 K Growatt, and was asking if anyone had any experience of one, and you popped up!
His is fitted in the loft, so he hasn't easy access to it, but more to the point, I see you have a dongle to communicate to it?
Can you explain how that works, please, and what info can be accessed remotely, either via a smartfone or laptop, thanks !
That information may be of great help, as all he can see is the TGM meter...
(the recent thread was "Split East/West installation in New Forest" , you may find his production estimates of interest too, albeit from a smaller array)16 x Enhance 250w panels + SolarEdge Inverter + TREES

Post one message giving the domain name but not its suffix(es). e.g. mysite
We can all assume a leading "www."
Post another message with suffixes (e.g. org(dot)uk or COM or co(dot)uk
Again, we can assume that will be followed by a slash so you don't need to say that.
A final message giving subfolder(s) if applicable and a filename with extension. (but leave gaps rather than slashes between sections. e.g. photos 2016 newpic.jpg
Even if that doesn't work, you'll probably have increased your post count enough to be able to post urls next time

Alas, the Sun's position is pretty well fixed. But had you considered how useful it might be to tilt the Earth's axis a bit more (or less) when you need extra generationRheumatoid wrote: »If you do find a way to optimise the sun's position please let me know.
