    Hello Lego, you know I'm biting to buy one. If I buy from Energyhive, does that connect to the Wattson site or is there a separate charge?

    Kind regards, Sterling

    I bought mine from energyhive and explained to them that I was using it with a Wattson Solar Plus.

    It connects to both sites and I pay nothing:cool:

    They were the same price...not sure if they are now!

    Edit. They are. If you go to energyhive's website in the options to buy, you have the choice. Both £29.99 :D

    Edit 2. Just noticed energeno are charging £49.95 + £3.70 P&P:eek:

    Hello Oscar

    Please do you know whether the efergy Elite electricity clamp and transmitter, £24.99, on the Energyhive site would serve to report the diverted power?

    Regards, Sterling

    Sorry, don't know a thing about them....

    If you are thinking about the Wattson Solar Monitor; I think this supplier may give you the better price......Don't know if they sell the WiFi gizmo to get Wattson at Home running. If not, you can get them from EnergyHive direct, just tell them it is for use with Wattson...HTH. http://www.navitron.org.uk/store/misc-gadgets

    As mentioned before Cumulus clouds have ruined my day.
    4.72 O's (18.78 kWh) and still producing

    As you can see from the graph if it had been a clear day then I would have had my first Hawaii of the year.

    This week was shaping up nicely, shame the forecast for next few days is not so good.

    3.85 O's today (11.1 0's combined for Sun to Tues).

    Would like another 9.7 O's by the 10th and I'll be a happy bunny :T

    11,000 Wh / 3,780 Wp = 2.91 Os

    Nothing much happens here each day until 11 AM. I suspect it is a combination of slight western orientation and tree shading.

    Well 4kw system installed today and up and running at 2pm ... My generation meter read at 4.38kwh and system stopped generating around 5pm . So this reading is the amount of energy i generated? That's what the meter records doesn't it ?
