Re: Found on ebay - Sofar ME3000 SP

I have 2 of these for sale. They came from my working setup when I upgraded to Sunny Islands. I have kept one running for when I need to charge at greater than 18kW (!) during the overnight slot. Installed in August 2020, removed from service November 2022. SWMBO has been nagging me to get rid of th...

Re: Starting out on my heat pump journey

Quote back from plumber and he has recommended a 14 kw heat pump. Is it Mitsubishi? Not seen one of those yet. You'd need a very good reason to chose anything other than a Vaillant!

Re: DC disconnects/isolators.

With a tight space, I would use a pair of these (one for neg, one for pos) for each string. Could just mount a piece of DIN rail, or use an enclosure.

Re: Octopus Flux tariff from April

I know that Victron and SMA kit has this functionality built in. Additionally you can implement it with HomeAssistant or Node Red on many inverters. This is a sought-after feature for those who don’t get paid for exporting. The SMA Sunny Island does not have this for overnight charging, although if...

Re: Ripple energy "strike off"

I am happy to wait and see what happens.
