The Boy That Cried PV Extension

Anyone got an below 1%?

0.13 %, I set min export at around 1kW all the time whilst I am not importing.

If your on an export tariff there is little downside if you have a large enough battery, I have found even setting a min export at a few tens of watts makes a big difference.



It would have been less than 0.01% if I had not fecked up on the 4th Nov.

It also helps when half the day is cheap slot...

It certainly does in the heating season.

Thanks for posting @nowty as it is something I've been pondering on doing although hampered by the current Giv EMS only allowing export at maximum rate, 6kW's. Indra's V2H is similar but does at least have a sliding scale option but this covers both export and Import so not really helpful.
Perhaps I'll have to suggest it to them to see waht they might be able to come up with.

My Givenergy controls allow me to set a maximum battery draw, so I can limit that to prevent too much going out during an export period. The trouble with that is that a) - assuming there is no solar pv incoming - you can't take extra for the house without limiting the export, and b) you have to remember to wind it back up at the end of the export period to get full power available from the batt again, or it takes some and tops up from the grid!
