Displays

[Energetic]

What are you using at the moment?

We've used plenty of different ones and they all have their problems.

Geo Solo
Geo Chorus
Owl intuition,
Owl micro (as a very basic guide)
Sunny beam
that's all i can remember the names of but i'm sure there's more.

I'm after something simple and reliable that won't go through a set of AA batteries every other month. Mad that you can buy a fully functional Android tablet for £60 but you can't get a PV display that works reliably for£100.

We don't use them anymore. Not found a single one which is reliable.

The best thing i ever used and its the only time i used one was on my own house - i bought my first kit from Marlec back in the day (1.44kwp £4500) lol.

It is a din mounted Kwh meter, it shows total, actual, and some other things. Hard wired and never let me down.

I have been using elios4you, supplied by Silbert from this forum, on my own system for about 9 months without issues. All the others bar the Sunny beam have been a nightmare and we have stopped supplying them too.
