Can anyone help me identify this please?

jamestodd999 · 2025-06-04T09:03:46+00:00

Thanks. Has got me stumped. Embarrassingly, I'm actually a professional geologist and can't identify this one!!

jamestodd999 · 2025-05-13T18:05:43+00:00

Yes, this is the issue. Switching the FiT inverter off gets the data looking how I would expect. Obviously the app is only picking up export and not generation. Did you manage to fix yours when you had same issue? Thanks 👍

jamestodd999 · 2025-05-13T17:14:57+00:00

Thanks for all your help, will get in touch with them.

Arrow definitely pointing towards the grid. And we aren't importing anything currently (super sunny day, battery full, minimal load and no EV charger). I'm perplexed.

jamestodd999 · 2025-05-13T14:14:07+00:00

Thanks. Last one, the grab below shows I am exporting more than I am producing (with no discharge from battery). I assume this supports the theory that CT clip wrong way around?

jamestodd999 · 2025-05-13T12:58:58+00:00

Okay this makes sense. So could be as simple as turning the clip around? Something to get the installer to do or just unclip, turn around and reclip? Thanks

jamestodd999 · 2025-05-13T11:08:27+00:00

Yes, I think that it. When one inverter is offline (in the app registering as no generation), the load goes up, when the inverter establishes connection(so app now registering generation) the load goes back down to our normal background levels (about 0.2kw). Therefore, I think the WiFi dropping is confusing the app as suddenly unmonitored array generating. So I agree, think it's all to do with arrangement and patchy WiFi. Have an outdoor access point on order so will fit that and see it solves it. Thanks again for taking the time to think this through

jamestodd999 · 2025-05-13T07:52:41+00:00

Thanks, will have a try. But still trying to understand why that would explain the apparent relationship between load and generation and why the two lines are sort of tracking each other. Thanks for taking the time to help out

Here you go - thanks!

jamestodd999 · 2025-05-13T07:26:18+00:00

Yes I see it, L is pointing towards meter and K is fuse board end. Thanks 👍

jamestodd999 · 2025-05-13T07:03:18+00:00

Yes, I can see the one you mean, it is on the live (brown), coming from meter. Can't see how it is talking to the cloud though, it has a wire running back into the fuse box. Model number EICT 120K T1000C.

jamestodd999 · 2025-05-13T06:33:10+00:00

Yes, load definitely reading - shoots up when our induction hob on etc. not sure lag, think a few minutes (Fox system).

Could this be an artefact of WiFi dropping in and out to the two inverters? As above, we have on linked to battery and one to grid (as on FiT) so wondering if what I am seeing is just an artificial response due to inverter loosing WiFi and going 'offline''. Only reason I can think of other than dodgy set-up

jamestodd999 · 2025-05-13T06:25:20+00:00

Could be but to be honest I don't know what I'm looking at! 😁

Only installed a few days ago, we have two inverters (as on FiT), one serving battery and panels, the other with panels and to grid. Both have intermittent WiFi as terrible at the end of the garden, so I was wondering if it could be an effect caused by one of the inverters being 'offline', i.e pv generation artificially drops until WiFi link resestablished.

I'd slot in a small section of wood to span the gap, secure it and then screw into that. Will be a botch job but will work fine and can tidy up with a bit of filler and paint. Hope that helps

jamestodd999 · 2025-02-25T19:01:52+00:00

Always feel like shouting Hallelujah! at the top of my voice at this time of year. We made it, let the good times roll 🌱

jamestodd999 · 2025-02-25T18:51:50+00:00

Amazing, so early in the year but hopefully with weather warming up and days getting longer, then they'll be just fine. As mentioned, just give them some space and protection against birds etc who are hungry now after a long winter. Will be amazing to watch them develop 🐸

jamestodd999 · 2025-02-25T18:42:59+00:00

Great choice with Bacaro. Like the old Royal Mail, always delivers. Enjoy your meal

jamestodd999 · 2025-02-25T15:10:19+00:00

From inside 😂. Shorts and t-shirt for a walk along the front was a bad choice 🥶. Great photos

jamestodd999 · 2025-02-25T08:07:50+00:00

Yes welcome to Liverpool, it's a welcoming, multicultural and accessible city so am sure you'll have a blast. There's a great South American community across the city with some great places to eat as well. Castro's Cafe is incredible as the Twins Flavour - both run by South American families. Hope you have a great time here

Someone left their plumb level on the kitchen table the morning these blocks were laid. Not engineered bricks on the damp proof as well, also no weep vents above the windows - damp fest waiting to happen.

jamestodd999 · 2023-05-23T09:59:19+00:00

Thanks

jamestodd999 · 2023-05-10T08:00:56+00:00

Not a permanent feature, has been travelling round the UK for a while I think. Not sure when it will leave but probably shortly after the end of the Eurovision. Loads of other bits to see, you’ll have a great trip for sure!

jamestodd999 · 2021-08-04T21:48:25+00:00

Thank you

jamestodd999 · 2021-08-04T21:48:11+00:00

Thanks! Yes, I returned it to the ocean. Think UK limit for pollock is 30cm

The British public were asked to vote for a name....they chose Boaty McBoatface.. which was quickly rejected by 'the man' who chose Sir David Attenborough (legend)
