    Franchises are usually awarded on a geographic basis and I don't think that is illegal. Not sure about GDPR aspect but I suspect there will be something in the franchisor's legal stuff that allows for the protection of the franchisees' territories by data sharing. As was suggested, above, you might be better off selling the unit you've got and moving to a better value for money product, if you are making a large enough upgrade.

    Yes I see where you are coming from but GDPR is all about the customer owning their own data and sharing data across companies is a clear breach unless the customer expressly consents to it

    Tbh I think the idea that your installer wouldn't compete  is not exactly what the issue will be... in my opinion.

    Greenbeard,  homeswitch,  think renewables,  gigabiz and pvpro are all the same company owned by Michael and Jake.
    These guys are the only ones bringing in the uhome batteries. 
    So when you ask your installer for more uhome batteries,  they only have one place to go. 

    Might be worth messaging one of the other guys that has uhome and either you sell them yours and buy pylontech,  or you buy there's and let them buy pylontech. 

    That's my thoughts

    Something wrong with my Lux data today... no way my PV has generated 3.3 kWh. @7 am, and I certainly have not used 5.1 kWh.  Maybe its just my system as my sons data looks "normal"

    Perhaps your WiFi was down?
    I was doing a bit of rewiring over last couple of days, 1 circuit off yesterday killed WiFi, sogen figures were rubbish,  and today other circuit off which killed power to the inverters

    In the situation you describe then yes BUT I can see no reason why my generation and usage are much HIGHER than realty, certainly if connection lost I accept they would be lower

    Sorry, thought it said 7pm, was thinking lower usage.
    Yeah that does seem strange right enough

    I've just realised that for the last few months,  my batteries have took no more than 2kw of charge at any one time from solar.
    We have been exporting, but always at full by end of day, so never noticed.

    I'm assuming it's coincided with the app simplification, and obviously in Jan and Feb there wasn't that much solar.

    I'd set my mains charging at 55% so I believe it's took that figure for solar too.

    I've changed it to 100%, so I guess I'll see tomorrow. 

    A little irked if im honest!

    "I'd set my mains charging at 55% so I believe it's took that figure for solar too."
    Interesting.. I have mine set at 80%.. is there a way to check or do I have to just watch it .. not likely tomorrow looking at my forecast !
