SNIP The rules on FiT “generation” equipment swap-out mellowed about 18 months ago. If you leave as is you cant be criticised in any way even though they are really only interested in a FiT capacity increase. A year ago I replaced 16 x 250W panels with 10 x 400W panels on my FiT system. You may ask...

You can even replace all the panels with higher capacity ones and agree a new pro-rata FIT generation rate with your FIT provider. But I don't like contacting official folk if I don't have to so will do something similar to Lincs Robert in the previous post. Having installed a ton of DIY panels and...

Why do you think that your FiT earnings will increase by switching to Octopus? My FiT started with Npower and then moved to EoN at the exact same rates, I get my energy from Octopus and they have nothing to do with my FiT payments. My view is leave the FiT well alone and build additional capacity ar...

Ive used 3mm hardboard cut to size between the cells, with 18mm plywood end plates being compressed by six (2 x 3) M6 threaded studding & wingnuts. The top studding is protected by a covering of hosepipe “just in case”. The whole lot is enclosed in a plywood case with removable panels. It gets i...

Thanks

Hi chaps,

Does anyone know whether IO is compatible with a newer Nissan Leaf? I’m thinking specifically of the newer shaped 62kWh model, probably a 2019 model or thereabouts. Would be using it with a 2020 Zappi charger which has had the latest software installed.

Thanks - Rob

Ive been using it “manually” today and it seems to be doing the job. Just to comment that the inputs seem to operate when they have the required +5 volt signals for a duration of about 10 seconds. This isn't documented anywhere, at least that I can find anyway, so I’m still not sure whether the inte...

Hi Rob I had the same problem in that at certain times my export from my Solaredge inverters was pushing up the mains voltage to around 260V, which when it was clear skies was ok. However when there was some clouds passing over the sudden ramp up of voltage after a cloud cleared the sun caused my S...

Hi all,

I’ve just put a post in the PV section of the forum which will be of interest to anyone who has excess solar capacity issues.

I hope its of interest.

Cheers - Rob

Hi, Now that the weather is a bit sunnier, I’m sure we are all starting to see issues regarding excess gross capacity with our solar PV systems. In order to get enough capacity through the winter we end up with too much capacity in the summer - as even after storing as much as possible in batteries ...
