Not forced to be exporting that much - he could be exporting 7-10kwh and saving the difference, with a net reduction of 17kWh. Plenty are getting IO slots on trickle charge daily during the times that the current savings sessions have run, upping their average daily use by charging batteries etc...

Hi, Try this link for GivTCP, yes it's for HA and I've just bought a Dell wyse of eBay to run it: There are a number of ready made files for dual Inverters etc to download: https://www.facebook.com/groups/615579009972782/?ref=share With regards to your problem, I'm not seeing those issues of...

You shouldn't get any noticeable cross charging when generating on both, but you might if the dominant inverter isn't receiving much generation due to your position of the panels. EMS is a fair way off yet, and the best bet for running it effectively is with GivTCP of which there is ready made...

I've just bought a small server to run the GivTCP in the background to eliminate this problem -apparently works very well.

Saw your post elsewhere, a friend of mine had this brand and is really happy with the performance so far (originally was to be Givenergy).

Yes, that's me - try this group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/615579009972782/?ref=share It tends to flip from one to the other, one is more dominant than the other though - downside is small losses, main one being unnecessary cycling of the batteries.

Cross charging will be an issue even if set up as effectively separate systems - it was fine with Gen1 inverters originally, but latest software apparently monitors AC ( source: my original two Gen1's and now Gen2's). EMS is out in the wild testing on AC Inverters, not yet on hybrids - so when...

Prior to Octopus Go, now Flux, was on EDF Go electric 98 - 10 hours every night and all weekend on a cheap rate and worked well with my lifestyle.

It'll be interesting how these rates may alter in July as the price caps reduce. I'm guessing they'll drop, but likely to be relative as import should also follow.

It all depends on personal circumstances, I'm currently on Flux and will likely swap to Go/intelligent for winter period. This month I'll have been paid around £150 after my usage.

That one can be counterproductive unfortunately!

The batteries will charge at 3.6kW with the Gen2/3 hybrid inverters, the AC inverter limits this to 3kW. With Go, you only would fill 1.5 x 9.5kWh batteries, which is why I went with one battery per inverter for now.

Must have posted and missed your additional one in the process! If the the output is showing as 2.6kW then that is a Gen 1 hybrid inverter ( max actual charge is around 2.48kW with these). They've been recently available "free" with battery purchases from certain wholesalers. You definitely need...

Also in relation to charging, if you're on Octopus intelligent for example, you'd only be able to charge two batteries per inverter in the 6 hour cheap window.

If you're using Givenergy and dependent on 7kWh from the batteries only, you'll need multiple inverters and batteries. The 3.6W and 5kW inverters, either gen2 or gen3, each discharge maximum of 3.6kWh from batteries only. If you need that rate continuously, and have two inverters and only two...

Only difference between gen2 and gen3, technically,is solar input up to 15A from 13A (gen1 11A).

I still have my Nova with redtop 2.0 16V conversion at the back of my garage.

It does, looks like a penny farthing! 🤣 Weird angle surely.

Love it but needs to be clean - just in that process here!

First4solar made a NOI1 application on 4th May to appoint an administrator.

I'm guessing they've "hedged" a considerable amount of gas at a higher rate than the tracker is currently running at. They're not going to want to allow everyone on a much cheaper rate and make a loss.

Yes, I moved onto it in February - this and combining with Flux ( solar) should hopefully end up paying me at least until end of December before reverting to Go/intelligent.

I'm assuming the variable element is in relation to new contracts as my Go is still 7.5p/kWh until July?

My lifetime average for my previous model 3 performance was around 326Wh/mile (over 3 years and 63,000 miles)

Still not sure if photoshopped 🤣

Thoughts??

Strange, I've done over a 1,000 miles in mine the last two weeks and haven't had any issues.

Is that with the Tesla tariff? How does it model when that ends and going on to Go/Intelligent/Flux etc.?

First M3P was "Oblivion" so named the new MYP "2 Oblivion".

It's not Mark Watts of PNG?

😂, No problem with the sliding door as it's a stick-on thin piece, whereas everything else is moulded and a bit thicker

Do like the Alcantara, fitted it to my MYP, had the real matte carbon on my previous M3P:

Received the update today as well

Yes, definitely set up independently as the Gen1's weren't behaving like this. It's likely there is some AC monitoring in the Gen2 firmware that maybe causing the issue, but like you said not ideal because of the losses but also unnecessary phantom cycling of the batteries. My understanding is...

So my previous M3P was called "Oblivion", decided the new MYP should be called "2 Oblivion":

I've just received mine before the weekend, I can't believe how much more room there seems to be ( and better built in my opinion).

The cross charging wasn't there for me with the Gen1 Inverters, I believe I had the system set up completely independent to try an eliminate any chance. It was working very well, the East would charge its battery via the associated inverter and the same via the West. The only down side was if...

Just watch out for the cross charging of the gen2 inverters, a new piece of kit called EMS will control it, but when it is out is anyone's guess! There are third party solutions if you fancy tinkering.

Octopus did a few years ago:

Some energy providers did accept Flexi orb for export payment but I couldn't tell you if this still is the case - Octopus were one.

Edit, misread the post

Wasn't that limited to 1000 miles as well?

Yes, that's exactly it

That's the problem, they'll go with the easiest as the demand is so high.

I have my Givenergy batteries set to charge in the cheap 4 hour Go period whatever percentage depending on the next day generation. The key here is to keep the charge period for the whole cheap time zone (00:30 to 04:30). So if the batteries are full early they won't discharge to car, the car...

I'm not familiar with that inverter but yes you're likely to be limited to 3.6kWh either by max of batteries or combination of batteries and solar. A larger inverter, like a 5kW Givenergy Gen2 can provide 5kW to house by use of 3.6kWh via battery and the difference by solar. Yes, anything over...

It does seem undersized but also depends on the pitch of your roof. There will potentially be clipping in summer/good weather at noon, but as the sun moves around the generation will increase on one and decrease on the other. Personally a 5-6 kW inverter would be better, I'm guessing it's more...
