still chasing the results of the monitoring, I keep being told the tech team are too busy to even look at the results never mind do anything:mad:.

Monitor now fitted, the National Grid chap reckons they'll need to tap the transformer in the local substation. He checked during install and mains volts was 251/252V

UPDATE: National Grid should be fitting a voltage monitor today for 7days. I've been checking our EoN account and we randomly take power from the grid - and get charged for it - even when we aren't here and the home battery is full.

Thanks for the advice. I logged into the charger and dropped the current limit to 12A (default was 32A) Car charge power showing 2.5KW That setting is good when using solar in the day and won't overload the battery🌞

I did log into the settings, I need to research the config bit before I start messing:eek:

Hello everyone. We currently have a Vestel wallbox and Alpha ESS home battery (10kWh) and solar. At peak performance the solar will generate just under 5kW, max output on the battery is 4.8kW. I'm using solar to charge the MG today so wanted to try the wall box. Load was higher than the solar...

Nope no alarms seen. The "meter" light on the inverter flashes when normally it's solid. I've seen the light blink when I've been padding about the garage but not taken much notice before. I'm not sure I can see any errors as such. There is a separate voltage display so I can easily see mains...

Hmmm, interesting.... I've wondered why my PV/battery (Alpha system) would sometimes show no solar generation on sunny days. I've been randomly checked the house mains input voltage and it's quite often around 250-250V. I can't use the Vestel charger at the moment as it trips out at 253V, having...

My car had the LKA update yesterday during its annual service. Definitely better, not trying to throw me off the road just annoying beep. I think I'll still switch it off all the time anyway!

I have noticed our solar generation has shot up in the last month or so. Panels are close to max power output when the sun shines!

It's an Eon Vestel EVC04 charger. Eon Tech support told me it goes into fault mode above 253V I was up in the night last week (old mans bladder!), I checked out charger and it had gone into fault mode. My socket tester was reading 250-253V, I reset the charger and manually started the charge...

I've checked one other house and they were 253V in the middle of the day!

It seems a very common problem. Ours is the same, at night mains input is around 253V which causes the charger to fault with an over voltage error. On our street, out of the 4 other EV chargers, mine is the only one having an issue :rolleyes:

I've just started this battle between Eon (charger supplier) and National grid (DNO) My charger keeps going into fault mode with an over voltage error. Limit on charger is 253V (230V +10%) Our mains supply is generally about 250-255V. I've checked with our neighbours and theirs are the same...

With E.on we get 16.5p/kWh now.
