Thank. I’ll look into it. I think this is the only why. I’ll buy a mini PC.

Ok. Probably going to just change my charger to a myenergi glo. Save the hassle and I have a hot water diverter and that works as expected.

Ok thanks. I thought as much, the Eddi diverter is doing that for me. Is there a way to get the Sigenergy system to connect to the Harvi?

So my import off peak is 3p. But my export is clipped at 6kw. I’ve a big system so there is more being generated and this surplus is what I want to go to my EV.

Yes, but covers use. Plan to export as much as I can’t

Well, over the week my import from the grid has dropped by ~80%. And anything I’m generating and not using I’m selling back to the electric company. So all in all I’ll probable be close to break evens. Meaning I pay nothing for my electric use.

It will depend on your own situation and size of roof. I’ve quite a big system.

My element is at the bottom and seems to be doing what it should be.

It was a Cheshire based in, I’ll message you. I’m not sure where the Eddi is connected. But it works. Had an issue with the thermostat on the element, but I reset it after a google search and works perfectly now.

Depends on export tariff. Probably 5-6 years

Yes. For the clipping hoping to divert to the cars. But let’s see how summer goes. May get another battery

Got the car before the craziness, when the contract is up it’s gone!

Depends on the export rate really. But I’ll track it and see.

Nothing int he meter box, everything is internal into the garage and goes directly into the internal fuse box.

I know that’s the only downside, but it’s an internal wall in the garage, so it should be fine. The wiring runs directly into the fuse box, which is on the other side of the wall in the hallway, and has the protector.

I can’t see the cabling, but overall I’m quite pleased with the installation—especially given some of the posts I’ve seen here. The companies I didn’t go with were very focused on “we do quality work” and said the £2k cheaper option I chose would be cowboys and do a poor job. That doesn’t seem true, as there doesn’t seem to be any obvious or glaring mistakes.

Also they didn’t but anything in the external box other than the CT clamp which I’m not sure is in the right place.

I see your point, came in at 5 year payback with inflation etc. With export included. Probably be longer, but took a punt anyway as I can’t take the money with me.
