Why stop at just dogs ! . Functionality over form ! . Now ffs at the least finish this job ( probability of that happening is Zero ) 😘

What I can’t understand is you’ll do all this ocd neat wiring like me ( see attached photo ) then to save £1.80 buy cheap FUcLIPS

Those things taste like shit . I’m a purist . Local coffee shop only please ! How dare you mention Shitpresso !! - shame on you !

This glory hole doorbell better be worth 27 pages !!

Some on FB said if I don’t hurry up it’ll be me . Personally tempted to just stick @Onoff in the cabinet . No one will notice his absence of work progress for years .

In either app there are only 2 means of power input ; grid or solar . Solar though should really be called “ everything else “ . As solar could be real PV or either battery discharging into the other ; or a mixture of both .

Yeah I thought of that . Don’t want to lose PV generation 😂😂😂😂 It’s strange how I ( we? ) think . I’ll be absolutely determined not to draw 1kw at peak or miss 1kw of PV ( pence ) . Yet go and buy a latte for 3 quid and not even think of it 🙄

I’ll try it then 😁🤣👍

This isn't going to work again tonight!. SE full, PW full and exporting! 😎 So PW bound not to touch the grid. I really do need a cloudy day! I was thinking though. I'm 99% certain I can get the PW to take from the SE constantly i.e. PW stays at 100% as it drains the SE ( ignoring any PV ). This I *think* might be better especially for winter. As some of us seem to think; even if both go to charge from the grid what happens when one becomes 100% full. I'm pretty certain as there's been some evidence to support it the PW would start taking from the SE ( after all it would make sense to charge from a source not the grid if it's available ). This would then potentially mean only the SE is grid charging and PW just stealing. SO! - if PW constantly tops up from SE then during winter off peak SE will always have less charge than PW as PW depletes it. If they both go to the grid to charge PW won't steal from SE as SE is not 100%. So both in theory will charge from the grid. SE should reach 100% first ( it seems to charge at 3.68kwh and it's capacity is 9.7kw ). So at a certain point SE will be full; PW will see it and start charging from it. But I think in this particular case as both SE & PW will be near to 100% it doesn't matter. Also as SE needs less than 3 hours to charge I could start its charge 1 hour after PW begins. Thereby the chance of it getting to 100% and PW stealing a significant quantity is reduced. That theory/logic/nonsense make sense?

Nope nothing . Did think it was strange - assume you’d get something . Failing that the rather expensive tool station bracket would do ?

People of the masses ! What fixings should I use to get this basin on the wall ? Assume some bracket/ thread type thing it hangs on ???

Said the vicar to the nun

Well ! The test was inconclusive. Looks like PW didn’t take from the grid . Will leave it as is and see what happens tonight.

Of course I will …… not !

@Radian you know I said I didn’t understand why the PW doesn’t just drain the SE as it see’s it as PV . Well , I think it can . Which might be exactly what I want . Been fiddling with these settings … ( page 1 ) https://www.solaredge.com/sites/default/files/storedge_charge_discharge_profile_programming.pdf

Only fly in the ointment might be that PW decides not to charge from grid as it had a ‘good’ PV day … who knows !

Stopped charging the EV PW presumably realises it’s low and at the moment still drawing from SE

I changed a parameter to avoid the charge / discharge cycle . SE can only charge from solar or discharge . At 00:30 it will change to charge from grid . At 04:30 it will change back to charge solar or discharge .

Things of note . PW max output is 5kwh sustained as is SE In reality this isn’t possible. As PW sees SE as solar and inverter max is 3.66 then max output is 8.66kwh . Anything above that will take from the grid . In practice this isn’t an issue ; just make sure total house load doesn’t exceed that ( unless there is PV also ) .

Not sure what you mean . House total load is around 7.5kw as we speak . SE is discharging as is PW ( PW can only do 5kwh sustained ) . No evidence of grid draw nor yo yo between them . This I have seen before and fits in with my understanding of how I expect it to work . How “they” know - not a clue 😁

No . It’s being used . PW and SE are both charging EV…

What do you mean ? PW sees this as “real” solar …

Some faffing ! But got it all going for the test . SE is set to “ discharge to maximise export “ - the alternative didn’t seem to work ! . So SE is giving up max juice to supplement PW to charge my EV as it thinks it’s exporting ….
