    Growatt battery not discharging

    Classic. Installer put the ct on wrong and ran away without testing the system, costing the customer money potentially, then came back months later and clipped the ct on the correct way - blaming a non existent specification. Glad it’s sorted, flabbergasted that installers can’t just test...

    Growatt battery not discharging

    Ill put £10 on the Electric Car draining the battery over night because the inverter is not transitioning into battery first mode during the charging period. Set battery first schedule to be the same as the car period. Also check CT is plugged into the correct port on the inverter and facing...

    Conversion from DC to AC

    What sort of voltage / amps will the fuel cell produce and what’s the intended use. With that we can try to recommend something that may work.

    EV SWA Feed Cable Sizing - Oversizing Payback

    I’ll take a 6 month roi any day. Give me the bigger cable :-) I’m always suprised how installers don’t care about the customers costs. In fact I’ve made a business installing batteries for people that have just had heat pumps installed :-)

    Growatt CT discrepancy.

I prefer the slower meter and having the in home display read 0 most the time. Putting more turns through the ct can help...

    Growatt spa3000 odd import behaviour

    Morning. Only had a quick scan over this post. Sph has a similar issue with a little charge flowing to the battery when it’s in lead acid mode below LV setting. I’ve tried spa and Sph inverters. Biggest difference is the spa can accept two ct clamps. And of course no mppt on the spa...

    Accounting software?

    I tried zero. Ok but not great. Currently on quickbooks, annoying terminology It’s all American and stupid bugs and crap support. Testing out FreshBooks at the moment. Looks and feels way better and more modern. Just need to get over the pain of moving systems again. If your accountant is...

    Advice please re electric combi boiler

    Heat pump would be best. But there are some middle grounds. Check out Tepeo and the other heat storage boiler brands. They can heat up at night in the off peak period, and release the heat in the day. It can offset the additional cost of electric vs gas. Infact. If you can buy your off peak...

    Swap Solis inverter (non hybrid) for a hybrid so can add batteries

    you can also just add a battery only inverter, like the Growatt spa-3000, its cheep and will just work by charging with excess solar that would have been exported, also provides redundency (your solar inverter and battery inverter won't break at the same time), downside, another app to check...
