That's an incredibly kind offer, many thanks! I have been searching CT clamp energy monitors and it's very confusing for a newbie :) I will DM you.

Thanks, I will look around. It appears the OWL products are no longer available - not on Amazon or any of the other retailers they link to. Would you have any other suggested meters? Thanks!

Legionella is - I am told - a big deal for hotels, hospitals and other sites with long pipe runs ("dead legs" as mentioned by @Geoff1946 . It's less of a big deal domestically. Our house is just barely big enough for it to be more than an academic question although not a huge deal. Daikin on...

Therein lies a tale, John. We built the house in 2008-9, moving in November 2009. We specced the systems and identified suppliers in 2006-7. Back then, ASHPs and renewable energy generally were not well understood and suppliers were few, and by definition inexperienced. Solar panels were...

Yes, I now have a reasonable model of where I am with self-use. My installer was able to confirm that the 1138 figure is cumulative export since install on 28/9/21. Pro rata, that gives me a self-use percentage in 2022 of 67% - much better than I expected / feared. Obviously with lockdown a...

Many thanks @binky !

Sadly, my Solar Edge portal only gives me generation numbers - you only get import by buying a £400-500 add on device. I don't have batteries - one reason I want this data is to build a business case for batteries - and it often seems like battery owners have this data at their finger tips...

Right: some progress, I think. This page from Bulb: https://help.bulb.co.uk/hc/en-us/articles/115001232832#h_823d3aac-d839-4df1-956b-58f948cc820a ... describes how to access smart meter data on the EDMI SMETS2 meter, which I appear to have. I followed the instructions and lo and behold, not...

Thank you ProDave. I am on the old FITS scheme which pays for all generation plus deemed export, which is tracked via an Elite M17 meter, which I report manually to my FITS provider, Good Energy. So it just records generation, rather than export. The import meter is a bit smarter - fitted by...

Hello all - I would appreciate some advice please. I have a 5.6kw PV system, professionally installed, and in operation for 5 years. However I have never been able to really tell how much generation I am self consuming. The aim is to contribute to the high energy consumption of an ASHP. Is...
