Re: Renovating an old farmhouse
I Coverig these type of walls with plastic (e.g. polyurethane insulation boards could make things fine in the short term but lead to bigger problems long term. I believe there was some discussions about this sort of thing on the old forum which is once again accessable - might be worth reading up a...

Re: MG5 with Zappi on Octopus intelligent go
Is the firmware on the Zappi upto date? I know there have been various changes to the firmware. I asume it is a Zappi 2 - I dont have one yet but looking at it when we next change car, I do have an Eddi.

Re: Renovating an old farmhouse
If water is wicking up through the wall, the reason the room with the exposed tone and lime pointing appears to have no damp could be due to ease of evaporation. If you then cover such a wall with plaster, the water could be absorbed by the plaster rather than evaporating leading to decay of the pla...

Re: Renovating an old farmhouse
(The underfloor could drain to one corner and be put in to complement a drained / aired trench around the outside.) A If the south of the moor is the same as here the water table is sometimes at ground level, if you dig a trench or hole it fills to the surrounding surface level. Maybe a block and b...

George. 256V is from the Sunsynk app - so not sure how accurate it is. But, the Hoymiles is the one which is trippin...

Re: Hoymiles problem, or grid voltage too high?
OK, so had the DNO - Northern Powergrid, out today, as the voltage on my Sunsynk was reading 253-254 for a couple of hours and the Hoymiles has gone off and sulked since 10am. Nice guy, came out and measured at the meter at 251V (obviously the sun went in and the Sunsynk also dropped to 251 at the ...

Re: Hoymiles problem, or grid voltage too high?
I suspect the HP will make little difference during the sunniest part of the year due to the fact that when it is warm and sunny the HP probably won't be producing much heat. In those shoulder months you might get the HP running at the same time your PV is producing so there might be a benefit in ke...

Re: Solar with Auto Start Genny
A grid tied Inverter (GTI) will normally shutdown when mains power is lost, a hybrid inverter may have the option of two outputs one grid tied and one effectively a UPS that will still work until the batteries give up. Most normal GTI will not work wih a generator from what I have read. One issue is...
