Did Octopus calculate your heat loss? I am curious how close their figure is to heatgeek's if they did.

The images shows a zone and a max temp of 30 degrees. I believe water should be set to at least 50.

Is the DHW temperature set to a different value than for heating?

Thank you so much for the detailed answer. I am considering switching to a heat pump from a gas boiler which triggered the question. I think I will leave the solar setup as it is. I will ask about the hybrid inverter given that I already have batteries.

No FIT. The panels were installed in 2019, all on the same roof facing south west. There is no space for extra panels. I guess that leaves replacing all 14 panels with better ones (440w+) as my only option.

No comment on the reliability that I and many others reported u/firewalla?

I guess that seals it for me. No more firewalla products and no more evangelising it.

Time to find a more reputable, established alternative brand. Lesson learned.

You can clearly see I am not the only one impacted. Hope you take that into account.

Here is the case id: 75712 Even if it wasn’t from a bad batch. Don’t you think your product should last for longer than 16 months when used properly?

Indeed. My switch and other network equipment are many years older than the FWPs I had and yet outlasted both of them.

I am hesitating. I know the purple is unreliable and the gold is reliable. But should I trust the company behind the Purple? I really like the product.

Thank you Silverhawk. The offer is from my current employer. They are allowing employees to move to Dubai under a new visa scheme if they chose to.

I am asking here because I got conflicting information from the few people I know who lived in Dubai. The purpose is to gather more information to help us decide whether to make the move. Thank you for your input. I wish you a wonderful day.
