Can you go on agile for export only remaining on intelligent for import?

We definitely should....... Just remember all the ridicule from the petrol heads - milk floats, hanging around for hours waiting for it to charge, batteries dead after 5 years, cant use heating in winter... HA Yes we can smirk

It would make more sense to me, theyre charging more for electricity at those times therefore they can afford to pay more.

I used the figures that EVE supplied and keyed them straight into my active balancer. The active balancer shows SOH 100% and this is it's 5th year of operation.

Youre probably right, it's just a gut feeling, all of this tech, looking after itself with Home Assistant getting the weather forecast, watching the outdoor temperatures and even the average daily consumption map 7 days per week and then deciding how much to dump into the grid and at what rate...

I had my system setup nicely for exporting surplus energy during the evening all automatically done, no intervention required by me. Looking at the amount earned and the potential degredation of batteries, I switched the system off and no longer export during the evenings. I no longer...

Just do it, if he complains it's always easier to get forgiveness than permission :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

Does that also mean that DIY install is not allowed down under? FWIW I have two inverters in my installation, a Growatt SPH6000 coupled to solar and battery and a Victron Multiplex II connected to a battery. The Growatt system was installed by a 'certified' installer and the Multiplex DIY'd by...

Hideously expensive compared to the rest of the market but definitely a nice piece of kit. Very few EV's have 100 kWh and above. It's really not the right approach to consider full charge from empty, you really need to consider replenishing the charge you use on a daily basis. It's the way of...

Just make sure that the Zappi is fed before the CT's for the solar / battery, and you will be able to do anything you wish with regards to charging.

Try this one:-

Ive just tried this for the first time today, it works really well, have a look at the video's on their site: Hydro

:ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: - Every day a school day I like the speed analogy, I've not heard that one before.

Ah yes, I'd forgotten you were an early adopter of solar and benefitted from FIT payment. Well done that man.

Agreed and that’s where wallboxes such as Zappi come into their own. Flexibility on when and how charging takes place easily configurable.
