    It looks like you are sending power to your solar panels (or, more likely, I've misunderstood what that icon is supposed to be)??? 
    Might be a battery there?
    Yeah, kinda assumed so, just a strange symbol for it 😂
    It’s a hybrid inverter so the MyEnergi Eddi (master) doesn’t see the battery because it’s DC coupled rather than an AC battery system … I could change the device type but that then has a knock on effect of what is displayed elsewhere.

    I’m quite savvy enough to understand the energy flow in my system 😖

    You won't get any benefit for that consumption from 8-9am - adjustment period today is 5-8am.

    I know, it was just the car still plugged in as this morning we had until 10am low electricity tariff (Intelligent schedule). Unplugged it promptly by 9am though  :)

    A precise formula and details of how to calculate can be found earlier in this thread. However a rough guide is 75p for each kw used between 5:00am and 8:00pm.
