V.early days, just had installed solar.
No battery, also supply of some parts difficult at the moment so no App or Online monitoring.
I have a loop energy meter, clamped on the tail of the DNO electricity meter.
Monitored use before solar & seemed pretty accurate.
Looking at the inverter...
I am looking for options to monitor a home installation for a day or two to find out what is causing suspiciously high bills. Ideally I would want maybe 4 channels recorded for at least 24 hours and to separate the total demand from at least one circuit (e.g. sockets) to help narrow down the...
As the Earth undergoes the biggest changes since the Bronze age, Mr Musk seems to be tackling so much and at rates never seen throughout history.
You should see the phone he is just about to launch.
Anyway I don't like the way he is going with his energy science. Surely he is in the position...
I have on grid system with 2 strings going to dual MPPT inverter and 6kW battery. It usually happens when there is no generation but as seen on the photos below it does happen on occasions when solar production is sufficient to cover the load. Sometimes this trickle of import will add up to 1kW...
We have solar PV panels (1.5kw) and I'm curious about fitting an immersion diverter to use any spare solar energy for heating water rather than sending it back to the grid. Before we do that, I'd like to have an idea if we have sufficient spare solar power for this purpose, if not then it's...
I need to put in a new distribution panel for under floor (electric) heating.
Are there decent energy monitoring devices I can put into the distribution panel so I can keep track of costs? (especially given the soaring energy costs)
Ideally something I can view on my phone/tablet.
Thanks
i have 4 x 1.2 kw systems and i want something like powerwall or powervault to use excess energy during day toi charge batteries which will automaticall feed loads when pv stops
Had a shock on our latest electricity bill. £153 for 1 month. Usually we pay around £100 for both gas and electric. Iv checked the usage and its correct, I guess the rate has gone up and we've used more than usual over Christmas.
So, I want more control over what we are using. I'm looking to...
I have a customer who is having Pod Point install one of their chargers at a car port, some distance from the house.
SWA (10mm2) for the supply will be run to a small consumer unit at the car port, with the Pod Point installed adjacent.
A 2-core cable is also required to connect the Pod Point...
Hello,
I'm sorry if this is the wrong place for this post.
We desperately need some expert advice/guidance.
We have a neighbour whom we believe is somehow firing accurate electrical pulses of energy at our home. So far, two new different brand security cameras have been destroyed, both with...
Evening
Looking for software (or excel spreadsheet) to view data taken using Fluke 1735 power logger, Fluke software is ok but I'm wondering if there's anything else available?
I came across one of these recently while carrying out an EICR. I didn't have a clue what it was, and neither did the property owner. A bit of online searching came up with a bit of info:
It's a 'voltage optimiser', apparently it shaves 18V off the supply voltage (unless the supply voltage...
I came up with an idea that could possibly produce more useful energy than is required to keep the system running & no it is not a perpetual motion machine.
The output is electric and that is why I am introducing this idea here.

I think my Absolute Energy Master has stopped working as the screen has gone half grey/half black. The Company Absolute has gone bust and I can't find anyone who can either fix or replace it . They had a technical support team st DSM Energy Control Ltd, but I don't think they're around either...
This might sound like a stupid question so apologies in advance.
So I had a random thought in my head.
So I was wondering if I was to use a single phase motor to spin a three phase generator to create three phase power, would you be able to create more power then the single phase motor is...
Extraordinary day. Five hours on the phone with SSE (is it me?) Trying to get new supply connected. Meter already there just need connecting/energising. Yesterday arranged 8:30 a.m. next day connection (today). Engineer attended and informed me; "you have to connect these meters yourself we...
