    Boiler off, yes I have fridges but they are running 24/7 so I wouldn't expect this surge?  Hot water is a possibility but not likely as it is heated with a proportional controller that maybe is triggering it but if it was the immersion it would be  3 kWh and for a much longer duration?
    Have you perhaps got an 'immersion diverter' there which is getting confused by a battery discharge looking like extra generation ?

    Fridge?
    Hot water?
    something electrical locking in to fire something else e.g boiler?

    If your immersion diverter uses proportional control, it will vary the power depending on what it thinks is available so could use anything from a few hundred watts to 3kw.

    Hi Mickey, it's possible you were seeing a software glitch.
    This is my two systems this morning


    Note the 1kw spike

    And note the lack of 1kw spike.

    Here is the funny thing, there is only 1 shared ct clamp for both systems, and the master shows no spike, while the slave shows a spike.

    Edit. 1 shared clamp on mains, they each have their own ct clamp for generation as they are tracking two different arrays, hence why solar is different

    Does anyone know if the new pylontech Us2000c is compatible with the previous generations?

    Finding a retailer online selling it for 730, same price as the previous generation. Bloody good deal given they're selling for 900+ on ebay!

    Has the web portal been down all day for everyone else, or is it just me ?

    App seems ok.

    Just been getting this all day. No problems with any other sites.
    Although app working fine, strangely. 🤔

    Think my router (Sky hub) must've started blocking it for some reason.
    I can get on it with my phone on 4g.
