Woke up this morning to a flashing red light on the Hoymiles. My stomach dropped...
Turned out the complex power was off.
Fell back on ff to boil water and plugged in a battery pack to the network box. All was right with the world again!
That just underlines how the 5V battery system and 28W Solar panel are still needed. Lesson learned.
The ff free Al fresco kitchen had a test run last night, soy soaked sirloin steak with burnt garlic, honey & noodles. Went well, need some more permanent Solar lighting and right hand shelves. Will get into that after Cappadocia next week.

Re: Balcony solar PV
Must be the solar PV awareness kicking in. Just noticed another button on the washing machine (time delay). Did our first night rate wash. We have 3 rates here
07:00- 18:00 daytime
18:00-23:00 peak
23:00-07:00 night
Considering electricity flat rate is 3.04p per kWh I'm.not sure how much we'll save!

Re: Balcony solar PV
As ever the UK is up against the crap way final circuits have been wired since the war. The regulators need to get their heads together and decide if 6-800W extra for a few hours a day is actually a significant risk or merely theoretical.
Living the dream in Austria.
Uk property 3.75kW PV linked to 3kW inverter.
