Re: Energynote Service No Longer Available!

I'm hoping to find someone with the same kit. I'll wait a bit before trying to hack it myself. I asked Energynote but they have no stock of meter parts and discontinued the conversation. I'm quite miffed with unilateral discontinuation after I invested in their kit. They said their technology has be...

Energynote Service No Longer Available!

I have been using Solo 2 and later the Solo 3 with their dedicated meter and hub (also branded as GEO3). The GEO3 system dashboard was my main go-to for monitoring PV and lekky usage. But they announced (apparently last year) that the service is no longer available!. https://geotogether.com/energyno...

Is that a consideration? /quote] Weight would be a consideration if located in the attic alongside the present inverters and heat pump kit. But, seems to me there should be a new enclosure for all the...

If you're planning on charging 2 EVs, electrical heating and hot water via Go/Go Faster then you're likely to find it tricky to charge everything at once and take advantage of a narrow cheap-rate slot. You're likely only to ...

Re: Newbie Advice Sought

I will meet on Thursday evening with KIA touring UK with the new EV6, which has bi-directional charging. Let me know if you want to raise a question. I can report on Friday.

Re: Newbie Advice Sought

The Quaser Wallbox (image in my last post) says they have CCS, but their help line says next year. DNO today gave me a budget of approx. £1500 to bring 3-phase to the front wall of the house - very reasonable.

And they are not compostable!
