Steady 4 O's today, might not be posting as regular if they insist on this stupid new layout.....need sunglasses in the day and now at night for the pc
DOH! Fought my way through that lousy layout last night to read comments, and again this morning. What a PITA.
Then I logged in and found that gets rid of it. AAAHHHHHhhhhh!!
Seriously, anyone like that layout?
Generation still going well, though it's dropping of a bit after lots of ~30kWh. Wet spell from Wednesday.
Mart.Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 20kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.
For general PV advice please see the PV FAQ thread on the Green & Ethical Board.0 -
No Mart, hence my comment last night!
Way too bright, with text hard to read against such a bright background, links/buttons not where they are supposed to be.
Do I Not Like That!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.0 -
Errrr, back in its box ready for eb*y along with the optiplug. Found out that it's not compatible with multiple systems especially with how mine are set up. Had to buy an optismart sender for my leccy meter in conjunction with my current cost. Wife then switches something on when the import shows as zero...best I can do with what I have....shame
If you are seriously not going to try for a refund, I'd offer it a good home! PM me with a price?4kWp, SSE, SolarEdge P300 optimisers & SE3500 Inverter, in occasionally sunny Corby, Northants.

I did bring it up with the supplier and they spoke to their supplier and assured me it would be fine....its not, how they set it up it can only monitor either the WNW alone or the ESE & SSW(less in house usage) combined, not all 3 together!
Thanks anyway guys
Hey Tunnel; don't throw in the towel just yet. I suggest you phone Energeno on 0203 286 0142 speak to Ilias; explain the situation, and if your answer is negative for using, get back to your supplier and tell them you want a full refund, no problems....do not sell on the Bay or to others, just get a full refund of monies paid including the Optiplug. If you have problems PM me.
Missed the midnight deadline but here goes:-...AAn Hawaii + 0.36 O's...

I know this will curse it, but I'm going for what would be a record 5th consecutive Hawaii today. Previously I've just missed out on 6 consecutive when day 5 was 200Wh low!3.924kWp (12X327Wp SunPower). SolarEdge SE3500 inverter.

Looks like I should be on for my 6th consecutive Hawaii! A record (previous best of 4).
Further, I should be on target with PVGIS since my system was installed (I am actually targetting 110% PVGIS because my installers estimate was more generous than the PVGIS estimate - but PVGIS breaks it down in to monthly increments to calculate target figures.)
AND, what's more, I've now averaged over 4kWh/kWp per day (AKA Os) since I installed the system on 20th March.:T
EDIT - acheived all of the above!
I've also averaged a Hawaii from 05/06/2014 to 26/06/2014 inclusive, which is pretty cool.3.924kWp (12X327Wp SunPower). SolarEdge SE3500 inverter.
