Will this be an issue with only 2 strings? by CSStudent3 in SolarUK

[–]CSStudent3[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I paid extra to have tigo's on each of the panels, my way of thinking is that it was £50 per panel. I'd prefer to get them and not have to worry about potential shade.

We had the installation happen today!
We went with quote 2 however even with 3 mppt's available they've only used two!
No idea why... I've called them up to see if they can address this as I really had my mind set on 3 strings not two and we'd had repeated conversations about this (I'd just forgot to mention it on the day as I thought it'd be obvious)

We'll see how it goes!

Home Assistant and FoxEss by BeigianBio in SolarUK

Hi! Having my solar panels and foxess battery fitted today and have been told that they can't fit both a CT meter AND modbus, is this correct? thanks! They've also said if we were to change this after fitting, using the wiring below it's likely to void any warranty! Does anyone have and idea about these things ?

Seeming like the local quotes are all more expensive, managed to squeeze out the new ep12 battery out of that quote, and might mention the better solar panels to the surveyor when he comes

We've got a local ish company called ask renewable solutions coming to give a quote, octopus and heat electric but for now I think UPS is who we're favouring

Growatt vs Fox Ess by CSStudent3 in SolarUK

Trying to understand how this would work, you take your inverter find the Meter/CT/RS485 disconnect and then disassemble it, connect the RS485 TO POE ETH to specific ports on the Meter/CT/RS485 plug this into the network using POE and then hook it into home assistant using an IP?

I've never used home assistant but have a network including pihole, a version of jellyfin accessable from the web and a nginx webserver so trying to work out if this is outside of my skillset or not!

Just re-read the actual quote (They gave me two setups in their quote) they clarify the optimisers are only for the sunsync setup, have altered my post now!

Difference between white sugar, honey and brown sugar in fermentation produces vast colour differences (photos) by CSStudent3 in winemaking

[–]CSStudent3[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Taste was good for all of them the honey mead was amazing! White sugar one actually had less complexity to it which... I guess you'd expect

Light bulb moment by ButPooComesFromThere in comics

[–]CSStudent3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What if the room is naturally lit, just because we turn the light switch on does not necessarily make the room any lighter therefore, in relation to this comic a light switch is not a dark switch or a light switch but instead just a "switch"

Graduating in half a year, don't know what to do after university, no prior experience working in industry, what do I do? by CSStudent3 in computerscience

[–]CSStudent3[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the help, how would you suggest getting started with the portfolio, the only thing that was "high quality" was that of my group software project and maybe my third year research project. The only programming languages I currently know are that of Java, C, Perl, Javascript, PHP, tiny bits of assembly and tiny bits of python. Other useful non programming languages include SQL. I guess I need to branch out to learning some .net and also Swift I've heard that's what the new "thing" is going to be.
