Just as an update in case anyone has the same issue in future. The next day the batteries didn’t charge at all as there was not enough solar and my tariff was too expensive to charge. However, the following day I had a cheaper 30minute slot just before sunrise so I used force charge from grid for t ...

Hi, my batteries have been doing fine but today they seem to have got stuck at 93% and despite not being fully charged they’re not charging further and instead I’m exporting power. I used some power to trigger battery discharge in the hope they would fully charge afterwards but each time they’re stop ...

Thanks Will, I’m glad it’s not a problem. Let’s hope spring comes soon!!

Hi, I’d really appreciate some help from someone with experience of winter generation levels. Up until the end of October things were looking great, however my daily generation has dropped off a cliff and my panels are struggling to produce 2-2.5kw max input even with the sun directly on them i ...

Thanks Will, that’s very useful to know. I’m tempted by the extra batteries as we are fully cycling each day so reducing their life span but after some significant lifestyle changes we’re now much lower users than we were (6-8kWh per day) and even this month are using only 1-2 kWh from the grid each ...

Currently running 14 x 395w Trina panels with a 3.7 H1 inverter and 5.2kw HV2600 batteries and considering adding additional batteries as helpfully suggested by @Will but now I’m thinking whether to add a few panels at the same time to get the VAT off and would be grateful for some advice. Will the H ...

Thanks, that’s really helpful. Yes I’ve seen the BMS version difference discussions so I’ll keep an eye on that and see if we can increase battery capacity sooner as we do have room for a few panels on either W or NW facing roof so could potentially get VAT free on the batteries by installing on ther ...

Thanks 😊 I think I’ve been doing like most people and wondering if I should have got more battery storage but it’s still getting us through to approx 5-6am after decent weather days purely on Solar charging and we’ve load shifted to the sunny days everything we possibly can so I think I’ll wait and s ...

Hello everyone, thanks to those involved in setting this up, it’s exactly what I’ve been looking for since getting my system in March this year.
I’m looking forward to hopefully learning more and seeing the forum develop
