    Third Party Solar Monitoring?

    Hi all, Just wondering if there is such a thing as above? I have a Growatt system (inverter and battery), but have also had an AC coupled Solis inverter installed to handle a striking issue with one of my 2 panel strings. My main issue is that the Shinephone app/desktop Growatt system number...

    System limiting output - Growatt/Shinephone app settings?

    Hi All, Thanks again for the input, greatly appreciated. My installers have been our and said that the 4 panel grouping is not generating enough Voltage to kick in, hence the seemingly throttled performance of the system. Apparantly Growatt altered the voltage required for their inverter...

    System limiting output - Growatt/Shinephone app settings?

    Hi Everyone, Thanks for your input. Spoke to the installers yesterday who have some sort of master-data version of Shinephone who said their numbers and mine were reading differently. Also looked at the Octopus tariff information, their info says we exported 26kw on friday, but both Shinephone...

    System limiting output - Growatt/Shinephone app settings?

    Riiiiight so its the inverter. So essentially we will be limited in the summer but be more efficient over the winter. Which implies we need to use the battery more to utilise the higher prices for the export tarriff. Thanks for the help, this has been annoying me for weeks. Is that 3.6 kw...

    System limiting output - Growatt/Shinephone app settings?

    Thanks, doesn't show the temp on the app but the system is set up in the attic which is typically hotter or colder than the rest of the house. However its also been the case on sunny days where the temperature has been cooler.

    System limiting output - Growatt/Shinephone app settings?

    Yes I have it up during the day on my computer at work. I've got "On-Grid mode" as the system state at the moment.

    System limiting output - Growatt/Shinephone app settings?

    Thanks for the reply - I can't see from the setting what mode it's actually in. I think it is load first though. Does the "lack" of production ring any alarm bells though? It's full sun at the moment and has been for most of the day but we've barely gone above half the capacity of the panels?

    System limiting output - Growatt/Shinephone app settings?

    Hi Everyone, I got a 6.5kw battery and Hybrid inverter (Growatt) installed alongside a 4.9kw Canadian Solar panel system in March or so this year. So far the system has worked well, but one days where we have unbroken sunshine - like today, it seems to limit output? Today for example it's...
