Pocster Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Yesterday extra PV and SE battery were added. SE battery not commissioned yet but apparently charging from solar ( I can't see this yet as commissioning needs to be done ). SE Battery quite a chunky monkey. Apparently the top 20% of it is an automatic fire extinguisher ( so I was told by installer ). Because I have a PW2 as well when Tesla app shows Kw from solar it's potentially fibbing as it could be nicking lecky from SE. None the less some strange behaviour today!. As no PV generation yesterday as panels off the PW2 charged off peak as expected. But look at just after 6am today!. Something emptied it!. Not possible for SE to draw from PW!. No idea what would sup all that juice - never seen that happen before.... Will update this exciting thread once I have more info. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocster Posted June 24, 2022 Author Share Posted June 24, 2022 One mystery solved ! installer confirms once SE has done its self test it charges 100% - so it emptied the Tesla !! . A one off occurrence I am told . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillyfadNewBuild Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Keen to hear what you think of this battery over time as I have it lined up to be installed in the next few months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joth Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 So this thread already answers one question we had: it seems that yes the SE energybank can be charged from AC grid, as well as from DC PV system. Good:) Do you have it installed with any off-grid capability? Not sure they've enabled that for UK (or EU) regs yet. What inverter are you using it with? Mine was due for delivery this month, but now delayed to August. Let's see if it transpires Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pocster Posted June 24, 2022 Author Share Posted June 24, 2022 There's still lots of confusion at the moment. Charge order is PV -> SE -> Tesla -> house usage -> export So Tesla app showing solar production at 3.6kw is a fib; it's drawing from SE. What happens at the moment as PW2 is empty is; naturally thinks it's drawing from grid on peak but in fact is drawing from SE. So on 0% it draw's 10% then waits until that's used. I guess it's trying to be kind 🙂 So *I think* I ignore solar production in Tesla app and just believe what SE app shows ( still waiting for user id etc. ). In terms of export I *assume* PW2 and SE can export simultaneously ....... :-? TOU for SE apparently still doesn't exist in user app ( but does in installer app ) - which is dumb. I'll make sure I get installer access! Can't do much now until SE user credentials come through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My complication is of course having PW and SE. So both their apps, EV charger app and car app. They all tend to fib or confuse. Tesla app has been rock solid though ( ignoring PV generation fibs .... ) Lot's for me to play with! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radian Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Hey pocster, tell me about the VAT you paid on the extra PV and battery here... zero rated for the materials right? But what about installation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an SE-x000H of some sort. Do you know how many kW the inverter is? That determines the 'x' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pocster Posted June 25, 2022 Author Share Posted June 25, 2022 Spoke to soon ! SE has done the same again ! I don’t want SE to ‘charge’ from PW otherwise in winter how can they both draw from the grid simultaneously?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radian Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 It's obviously rubbish. But don't fret, I'll give you £500 and come over to take it off your hands 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
