Had the broken inverter swapped out today but the new one won't work properly either, in fact it's worse. If the battery is connected, it discharges to the grid and changing settings won't stop it. With the battery off, the app/website shows all solar generation as being used by the house, even though the IHD shows the excess going to the grid.

Fitter was baffled, left us eventually with a promise to return tomorrow after discussions with his team and our installers, to try and understand what was happening.

We can use the solar generation and were still exporting earlier but I don't have any data I really trust to give my O's.

12.6kWh is showing on the app, If that's right, 2.4 O's, I would have expected a bit more.

My last couple of days

25th - 5.01 O's

Hit my PVGIS target yesterday.  Will have some sunshine next couple of days, so expect better generation than weekend which was cloudy all day

This sounds like a nightmare for you sorry to hear it. Have you gone like for like?

A tidy 4.5 Os, today.

It doesn't look like I'll be straying in to Hawaii territory before the month is out, though.
