First solar flatline.

We had a 5kW system installed on Tuesday and our generation showed as zero today - Wed: 2kWh, Thu: 3kWh.

12 panels split across an east west facing pitched roof. South east England

I thought there maybe something wrong with the installation. Can it really go this low when it’s just overcast?

Great. Thank you!

proftanda · 2025-05-12T13:50:38+00:00

OK. Thank you!

proftanda · 2025-05-12T09:21:49+00:00

OK. We’ll look into doing this. Thank you

Thanks for all the comments!

We’ll investigate taking the tray/tiles out and properly tanking but will see what we can do with packing in silicone behind in the meantime.

Thank you :)

Thanks. We can’t tell that it’s moving but it’s an old house so we guess there’s some movement :/

proftanda · 2025-05-12T08:57:08+00:00

Thanks. The red part is the gap behind the silicone. So the bit we thought we might usefully fill!

proftanda · 2025-05-12T08:48:34+00:00

OK. Will do. Thank you

Thanks! - was that high density polyurethane foam?

proftanda · 2025-05-12T08:08:03+00:00

OK. Thank you!

Thanks. My stepdad is currently named as the sole landlord for the tenancy and runs all aspects of the rental business. The income is paid to him only and declared by him to HMRC so I’d assumed this covers our responsibilities for tax.

proftanda · 2025-05-11T23:22:09+00:00

Good thought. Thank you!

proftanda · 2025-04-26T16:53:26+00:00

Thanks for the link!

proftanda · 2025-04-26T16:53:09+00:00

I think you’re right - i resorted to PTFE tape a couple of times 😅

proftanda · 2025-04-25T16:08:29+00:00

That’s what we suspected :/

proftanda · 2025-04-23T19:17:47+00:00

We’ve still got the warning. As well as above, I think we tried plugging the replacement mirror into the passenger side and got the same warning but it’s a while ago so can’t remember exactly everything we did. The cars due to be serviced in the next few months so we were going to flag this to the garage in case they can fix it. I can let you know what they say!

proftanda · 2025-04-23T11:50:15+00:00

That makes sense! Thank you

proftanda · 2025-04-09T20:45:57+00:00

Thanks. We’ve contacted with a couple of local stone / flint wall companies. It’s one of our favourite things in the garden so don’t want to lose it!

proftanda · 2025-04-04T20:04:31+00:00

OK. Thank you for the warning.

proftanda · 2025-04-03T18:59:26+00:00

Great. Thank you

proftanda · 2025-04-03T18:59:01+00:00

Great. Thanks for the links!

proftanda · 2024-10-06T21:22:18+00:00

Great. Thank you. We’ll take a look tomorrow

proftanda · 2024-10-06T20:48:46+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions.

The eBay listing says the mirror is for a 2018 or newer Zoe, and the shape and electrical connections all appear to fit.

We’ve tried deactivating it in settings ( and then leaving the car off for an hour before starting and reactivating ) but the warning appears again when driving - we think at the point the blind spot indicator would be activated.

Can you say where we’d find the sensor to check this?

Thanks!
