I have fitted one but its in the garage about 150 ft from the house.

I will have to put up a small Man Tent outside the garage toooo keep an Eye on the readings. :oops:

Will look into if the software can be got hold off.
I understand that there are WiFi versions of these meters? I remember that fuel the burn helped out Tay via his Dutch pal. Maybe PM and see if either can help you out?

It's getting close - I can smell it :joker:

Panels etc should arrive today - having had a phone call on Friday to say that the driver couldn't make it that day.

Did you order the mains power plug for the Hoymiles. Why they dont include them in the price is hard to understand. :fight:

They don't include them because they can be run as a modular system with the micro inverters linked together so not always required.

Yes, I've ordered a plug separately from E-bay - should also be here today - ish.
They don't make it easy to work out exactly what you need - it doesn't even show a part number on the website, and there seem to various options of cables, including the modular versions

I think they do that so you can feel happy and a sense of relief once its in place and the green light comes on, I certainly did!
