Re: Replacing FIT solar panels

yes, we have done it, exactly as Resybaby did - you can also change deemed export to octopus outgoing if your panel upgrade makes it worth it(no doubt more panels will generate more outgoing power) . leave the original FIT with existing provider if you want.

Re: Home Assistant!

if you are using a raspberry pi try and use an ssd or similar - sd cards are given a bit of a hammering in home assistant and fail - I use a NUC but you can get ssd for pi now.

also I have google auto backup installed on ours so we don't lose anything if anything fails - hardware or software updates
