Re: Octopus Flux tariff from April

I know that Victron and SMA kit has this functionality built in. Additionally you can implement it with HomeAssistant or Node Red on many inverters. This is a sought-after feature for those who don’t get paid for exporting. The SMA Sunny Island does not have this for overnight charging, although if...

Re: Ripple energy "strike off"

Yes, this is my suspicion.

Re: Ripple energy "strike off"

I am happy to wait and see what happens.

This is all going on within a legal framework and I am sure there is lots of activity behind the scenes.

In case it helps anyone's decision on these, I have 2x Sofar ME3000SP from 2020 going spare, complete with cables and mounting brackets. £200 each collect from South Manchester or £210 delivered via DPD.

Re: Controlling Pylontech charge rate and target SOC for Sunny Island overnight charging

Ah yes, I see that. Last night, from slowing at 88% to passing 89% took 43 minutes at 17.5kW charge rate.

Re: Positioning of speakers in echo-ey room

Nice spacious room.

Those exposed trusses would make it easy to fix cables discretely and mount small speakers if you were inclined.
