Sounds challenging / exciting in equal measure - good luck and look forward to seeing progress

I have this problem with my extra Hoymiles PV - where the voltage goes above 253 during exporting and it trips out. I have reduced the charge current for the batteries to try and spread out the charging time, but at the moment, the battery doesn't discharge that much overnight, so can only help a l...

I have this problem with my extra Hoymiles PV - where the voltage goes above 253 during exporting and it trips out. ... It still tripped out most days over the past couple of weeks - but in most cases not for too long. It's frustrating I too am quite close to the limit. Fortunately I reused an old ...

I deal with excess solar by, 1) Home battery becomes near full and the DC coupled charge controllers will simply throttle off and shut down. 2) First 4kW excess gets exported, any more excess gets diverted to pump power into storage heaters and/or hot water tank. 3) If I’m out, any further excess g...

Slight improvement on our March Norway cruise 'chasing the northern lights' - where we saw 1 solitary green ribbon!

Thankyou

Ooh yeah - was absolutely incredible - all around & overhead - some colours with the naked eye, but far more vibrant with phone or camera. After playing with photos in the garden I nipped off to the local viaduct, stumbling down paths in the dark carrying my camera & tripod - but it was sooo...

Finally got round to fitting the remaining 2 panels on the Hoymiles Mancave setup - at last :D The promised rain and thunder never materialised. Good to see it kicking out 1187W this morning (4 x 435W Longi panels) Sorry no photos as it is in a strange place in the garden, nowhere actually has a vie...
