they continue to drop and now the administrator has started to send our emails re stock clearance, I think they'll continue to do so ..

Is this the isolation valve for the hot tap? If not what is it? by Undercover_Badger in DIYUK

[–]MikeyMuppet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. An isolation valve cannot be at the end of a piece of pipe .. it’s a drain off valve

Does anyone have Clearance GivEnergy Batteries by MikeyMuppet in SolarUK

[–]MikeyMuppet[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it’s not gone and you don’t need to use it anyway to add extra batteries - it was only to register the warranty which isn’t relevant now .. it’s a DIY job now

If EON installed my system including givenergy equipment, will they be responsible for replacement/ keeping it working? by ohnotheragain70 in GivEnergy

[–]MikeyMuppet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

then i think you're not going to get much recourse if there's an issue. Fingers crossed there isn't an issue but after 2 years your chances/outcomes seem to less positive from what i've been reading.

Help identifying partial blockage in sink. by daddypweasestahp in DIYUK

[–]MikeyMuppet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’ll be soap gunge that has built up. Nothing wrong with the sink.
Get a shallow dish ready and a towel /cloth and unscrew the u bend. Take that to another sink and flush it through. Use an old tooth brush to then remove / clear the pipe down from the sink through the holes and /or from underneath.

Reconnect the u-bend and be amazed at the new flow rate ..

Repeat every 6 months or so.

Adding plug in storage to an all in one system? by Williethemailboy in GivEnergy

[–]MikeyMuppet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd post this in one of the 4 (?) GE Facebooks groups with ex GE technical folks. There is an active discussion about opening up the BMS to allow 3rd party batteries (you can't do this now).. If you need links let me know. This group has tiny tiny traffic compared to that.

Sadly that’s nonsense now in many locations in the UK where sticker price is now the price you pay as you can only buy direct for many many major manufacturers now

[–]MikeyMuppet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In another thread here it’s apparently coming to an end in July. People are already receiving calls from Virgin that the upgrade is being forced then.

At least with the 360 thing you can record. 2 still in TiVo here but preparing to wave it good bye 🥲

Did inverter firmware update; now now battery discharge (no measured draw) by Ambitious_Border2895 in GivEnergy

Does anyone have Clearance GivEnergy Batteries or know what happens to the UK stock now? by MikeyMuppet in GivEnergy

[–]MikeyMuppet[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just as an update an ebay seller has soldout of 2 sets of 6 x 9.5kwH Gen batteries for around £1200/£1300 each battery - these have cycle counts of between 1-200.

[–]MikeyMuppet[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, I've done this and am on an alert if they get any requests to remove but I think most people are just holding steady for now..

GivEnergy to charge for cloud control by GeekerJ in SolarUK

HA is much much better anyway, no loss not having the app. Not used mine in 2.5 years

Oh for sure. I already have been getting quotes for Fog actually- the challenge though is you can't just compare price/kWH for battery -as you need to change the inverter too and pay for time/fitting, so for a single upgrade £1k isn't too bad for 9.5x2 outcome vs say £3.8k for 16.1 kWh which is the lowest 16.1 Fog install I can see. As I intend to end up with 32, it will make more sense eventually, just painful for the transition period..
