I'm thinking the next advance in batteries will happen before 4000 cycles, so I'm not too concerned with keeping to 80% with mine.

Take a look here perhaps https://www.fogstar.co.uk/products/server-rack-battery-48v-5-12kwh?

But I believe Octopus are hedging their bets slightly by saying you can apply to be on a waiting list to be considered for export.

Its been a little quiet in here for a few days so though it a good time to open this can of worms. I have my 15kWh store in an attached garage adjacent to my main consumer unit. I am considering fitting a smoke and heat detector local to the batteries with an RF link back to other smoke...

They do if your exports value at more than your imports and standing charge ;)

Playing devils advocate here. So what's stopping you installing an Octopus approved EV wallbox (charger) for lets say £500 even though you don't own an EV to then make full use of the Octopus 7.5p rate to charge your house batteries like John does, in order to run the house all day. You could...

You can of course change the SSID to whatever you wish it to be, but never mind.

Maybe too late for this but you could try altering the ssid and password on your new router to the same as your old one and assuming its 2.4g turn off 5g for now to make it less confusing. Not much use if you have already reset the dongle though.

I have a FIT pv system and quite recently added an AC coupled inverter and 15kWh of batteries, nothing in the FIT agreement to stop you doing this. I also got in touch with my FIT energy supplier and removed my export payment from the agreement in favour of Octopus who pay better rates ;) I...

Ok thanks for the pictures, the Emlite meter is able to read both import and export and depending on how it was configured will auto cycle between IMP-EXP-NET readings. Maybe they didn't configure it to do so? Though I'm not sure that any energy supplier will take the readings for export...

Sorry but as I live 2 doors from a sub station and in the 50yrs I have lived here I think I can count on one hand the amount of cuts we have had that lasted more than 1hr. So I've not bothered with the abilities of the Inverter to island.

I like you have an existing FiT PV which I didn't want to give up, I fitted one of these. Solis RAI-3K-48ES-5G AC Coupled Inverter https://www.tradesparky.com/solarsparky/battery-storage/solis/ac-charger/solis-rai-3kw-48es-5g-ac-coupled-inverter and some 5kw batteries...

I think you need to supply us with a photo of your "smart meter" please. I am guessing the meter you are looking at is your generation meter. The Smart meter you need to be looking at if you have one is the main electric supply meter. If you can picture that too it will help. Maybe you don't yet...

Yup sure is, updated yesterday via remote. No idea what it fixes, if anything.

Inverter Version 150011-050000 is the very latest I think.

It is crucial to note however, that inverter integration is not required for our server rack batteries to function. Pretty sure that means the battery can mimic a battery type that is catered for in an inverter as Fogstar wont be on the list as its a brand new product. In my case I tell the...

By the time 4000 cycles (10+yrs) are up we will be using the next big thing in storage ;)

Also don't forget the MCS certification should you wish to export at all this it seems is a requirement.

I'm fairly sure the Australian You tube guy Off grid garage had that problem when testing Seplos BMS. Have a look see. As to the missing string, you would need to see if the Seplos BMS has the ability to mimic Pylontec in its firmware.

I'm guessing maybe he wants an MCS certificate for the work?
