I've been lead to believe by a few websites and Gary Does Solar channel on YT that inverters work better the closer to full load they get. I suppose that means I've either misunderstood (probable!) or have been misled.

Some interesting quotes there. Have you got quotes from other companies too? With only 8 panels you'd be under using a 5kW inverter meaning it'll be less efficient. Is 8 panels the maximum you can fit on your roof? What's your year's usage ? Which battery would cover a full day usage? In...

That is really nice! Is it a specific card?

I've been trying to reduce my Facebook usage but my kids football team ONLY update parents via Facebook and it's infuriating.

I've been thinking about that. I've just set up a home assistant instance to track and control my imminent installation. I'd be able to run my house on solar, charge my battery AND export all at once 🤣. However I'm sitting here a bit annoyed that I don't have panels 😭

I'd just like to add, do your research on the companies you pick. How long have they been active? Check their reviews, check companies house too. Also ask them how long they guarantee their work for. Make sure they have insurance. Also, my installation is happening this week!!! Cannot wait.

I know this is a super old thread but I've had the exact same experience with my my22 mg4 trophy. So frustrating. I am still waiting for octopus to get back to me.

unfortunately it looks like the one I'm using has stopped being supported. So I either need to find another one or learn python

I just tried my idea of setting my car to a target SoC below what the car had, plugged in, locked the car, started preconditioning and the zappi got confused and started showing "charge delayed" after trying a few times. Next time I will set preconditioning going but with a higher soc, but not...

I'm just getting started with HA and I'm using the SAIC integration mentioned above. My car is showing its capacity is 74.5kWh which is wrong because I have a 6kWh Trophy. Is this because the battery hasn't been balanced for a while (2 weeks) or is there a way I can troubleshoot. Also total...

I would be very interested in your results and thoughts!

The plan is to place the extra battery on his property, on a wall that faces on to my house ( I'm in a mid terraced house) 🤣🤣🤣😸

Getting the 6.9kWh array and Fox EVO10 with 5kWh inverter on 8th April. Cannot wait. Already planning another EVO battery and where to fit it to give me 20kWh storage...if my neighbour agrees to my plan 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Really interesting, thanks for sharing 😊

Hi Everyone, I recently came across the attached video whilst seeing if there was a better way than I currently use to precondition my car when its cold. What I've been doing is setting the car to charge and then setting the preconditioning. What I did not know is that the Zappi has a...
