Interesting. Just had a surprise visit to check my PV installation and verify that the meter was the correct serial number and readings consistent with expected.
No issues here, but wonder how often they come across people on the fiddle?0 -
Got 2/3 of an O yesterday, so happy with that looking at others generation.
Wall to wall sunshine here today and tomorrow (if Mr Weatherman is telling the truth).
Switched the heating off at 8am and switched the 400W oil rad on, and was still exporting, result.
If it stays sunny all day I may even mow the lawns - living the dream I am, living the dream!

Mart.
You have lawns, not a soggy bog?
Lovely & Sunny here too. Over an O, on the way to the second one and hoping for a third, maybe.
Heat Pump hasn't come on here since 9am and probably unlikely to until the Sun passes over after lunc!!!!-late afternoon, so saving £s on top of generation. Awesome0 -
Martyn,
A lovely sunny day today, and 3 Os by lunchtime - could this be the first Hawaii of the year? For once I'm not grousing; but I wouldn't cut the lawns - it just stimulates the moss!O G :cool: Somewhere on the South Downs

Also a lovely day. Not on for a Hawaii, but will be nearing 4 Os. Very nice after all the bad days recently. Well below target for the month still after a week of bad results!3.924kWp (12X327Wp SunPower). SolarEdge SE3500 inverter.

...and whoopee! At 3pm Rufus the roof got to 16.5kWh, which is my Hawaii score. I think Rufus wins the silver spoon, which is nice, because I collect spoons (Victorian serving spoons, mostly). I'm going to buy Rufus a spoon...O G :cool: Somewhere on the South Downs

Hoping for a bit of advice. I received a geo Minim Electricity Energy Monitor in the post today. My plan was to use it in conjunction with my geo solo PV monitor so I could make the most of my generation without importing. I'm guessin this is useless as it can't detect which direction I'm "flowing" meaning even when I'm exporting it's showing as important. Does this seem right enough? Would like to know before I return it.
