    I've not posted in this thread for a while, and following changes to my reporting spreadsheet, here's an update.

    Up to 24.02.22 we had issues with the Tigo optimisers 'shutting down' random panels after the installation, the problem was resolved by Tigo by applying an update to the CCA. Until resolved the problem resulted in lost production on the impacted south'ish panels, and no production from the impacted East'ish panels as there was insufficient voltage from the unimpacted panels on the string to fire the MTTP port into life.

    Best days generation from the south'ish panels so far was 25.04.22 (6.9 O's)
    Best days generation from the East'ish panels so far was 29.04.22 (4.0 O's)

    Our consumption has increased as we are dumping excess generation (when available) into the hot water tank after the battery has been filled.

    Anyway, just thought I'd share.


    2 Separate arrays, 7 x JASolar 380w panels (2.66kWp) south facing, 4 x JASolar 380w panels (1.52kWp) east facing, 11 x Tigo optimizers & cloud, Growatt SPH5000, Growatt 6.5kWh Hybrid battery (Go-live 01/12/21) - Additional reporting via Solar Assistant.

    3.9 today, I was seeing 1kw at 7:15pm so I guess the sun is high enough to miss casting a shadow from the neighbours chimney, a full day of sun would be interesting, very real chance of a Maiden.
