You wont regret the 6E, just replaced a couple of older ACHDs at home and....

Back in April I was annoyed at having to refix at 3.99% after watching it drop from the highs of ~6% following the disaster that was the mini budget... now it looks like I may have done OK. I just hope that in 5 years time things are a bit more stable... we can but hope!

Yep this whole week looks like a washout.

Is anyone here on the new BTOR trial with the higher than 1gbps speeds? If so how are you finding it?

With 1 poor day left of July looks like June may well be my best month for this year, cant see August beating it. This is my first full year of having solar installed, overall happy with the performance and will hit the numbers given to me when it was all planned.

Lost the foam for mine ages ago, and yes all the sockets do now fall out :) Been a brilliant set though, had it for over 10 years and still going strong.

Another reason I like to stick with them where possible, £5 and done. I only left them 2 years back for Zen because at the time they was not offering FTTP.

Ironically I managed to get 900/120 from Plusnet a few months back for £41.99! Worth giving them a call and see what they can do before jumping ship?

Looks like June is going to be my best month for the year, cant see August beating it even if the sun does come out due to the heat. Managed 694kWh in May, 757kWh in June compared to 428kWh in July MTD, going to be lucky to see 600kWh which I was not expecting (4.25kWh system)

I was pleasantly surprised with all the doom and gloom lately with price rises across the board. Have just given up my company car and moved to an allowance so had to buy my own insurance for the first time in a long time.. Cupra Formentor VZ2 2.0 310 at 41 with 0 no claims and business use...

Going to be a decentish day tomorrow according to solcast so have changed to every hour, lets see what that does!!

lol not checked this thread in a while but yes something is messing up the uploads on certain days.... yesterday looks well broken! its carried over the 3.1 from the 16th?! but the actual end total is correct for the day at 8.6. I have been messing with HA frequently and restarting to update...

I also had a go at moving some usage around just for the saving session, planned it perfectly so that the battery was empty at the right time and then fully filled it, washing machine, dishwasher, tumble drier and both heat pumps on. Id call it a success!! Will be interesting to see the next...

For those of us using home assistant to upload to PVOutput, any idea how I get it to log the peak output value? Everyone else in the team seems to have it logged but its missing from mine... I guess I am missing something in the script, can anyone enlighten me? :)

I am having to upload manually at the moment, will work out the automatic upload one day :)

Yep! :p November has been a proper mixed bag though, all over the place in terms of generation. Still fighting to get Eco7 activated then I will start force charging the battery and load shifting washing/dishes to overnight.

Friday was a good day for late November! Not a bit of shading in site :) 13.1kWh generated from a 4.25 array. Shame I wasn't home as could have run another load for free :p

Sorry been away this week! Its really easy, I ordered an RS485 adaptor (£5 from Ama) and then you just need to cut the end off an RJ45 cable and wire white/blue to A and blue to B on the adaptor. Finally plug into the RS485-2 port on the Growatt (usually spare) and set the mode to VPP.

Most of the main settings can now be edited via Solar Assistant, the developer is actively improving support all the time. Changelog - https://solar-assistant.io/help/updates/changelog

The Growatt app is pretty flaky, the good news however is Growatt is very well supported by Solar Assistant which runs locally on a Pi and is very good :) I run both side by side but never really open the Growatt app anymore.
