have a great holiday and watching your progress as a grid feeding microgenerator with interest.

I see mine is exporting now that the battery is full... It is set to export the full 3.6kW come 1600... and if the sun is still shining it only uses the battery to make it up to the full whack. lovely Jubbly!Joeboy wrote: ↑Wed Jul 17, 2024 10:23 am First distance test of Hybrid inverter for discharging. Must remember to turn off HW diverter or just allow for there being a fully hot tank all the time. No bad thing to have!.
The barrier will be the 3.68kW discharge limit.but that's OK until the hybrid breaks down in years to come. I'll then go for G99 and a 5kW min hybrid inverter. Right, who's paying me...![]()
I am impressed that the SOC isn't dropping. The Victron system on the DC side is balancing outflow of power nicely.
That's great to see. It is a very nice feeling to be doing a good thing.AE-NMidlands wrote: ↑Mon Jul 22, 2024 3:25 pmI see mine is exporting now that the battery is full...Joeboy wrote: ↑Wed Jul 17, 2024 10:23 am First distance test of Hybrid inverter for discharging.

I'll be honest and say that until recently we'd been consuming all (most) power generated onsite. With the last set of massoovh panels that went in we were seeing regular shutdown of the Victron system and some pretty serious stack charging even on marginal days. Might as well do the right thing AND make a few quid? Get booked in Resy!
Yes the generation meter reading, just like when you give your normal readings for FIT. From it they will pay you both the generation and export payment to that reading which means you might have to wait another 3 months before you give them your next generation meter reading.Joeboy wrote: ↑Mon Jul 22, 2024 3:15 pm Thanks Nowty,
That was a handy tip on mailing British Gas. They have got back to me with a mail to reply to with a generation meter figure once I know the handover date.
I have let Octopus know this just now. Hopefully that will trim a few days off of the process.
I assume it is the solar generation meter figure they will want? The meter with the EML number?
