I can only suggest checking the wiring as it sounds like there's a short/earth leakage

Folks, I can't see it mentioned so thought it worth a post. Octopus Energy provide access to an EV charge card called Electric Universe. It's like most other cards, but it has access to a wide range of charge providers and it can be setup so that the cost of charging can be taken from your...

You will get paid for any export so why burn it for the sake of burning it 🤷‍♂️

Do you have a battery? if so you should find that the battery acts as a buffer for when you’re charging. I do this with the standard granny charger, knowing when the sun is out it will be fed direct from solar, but should a cloud pass over the battery kicks in and covers the charge instead of...

The new batteries are pylontech us2000b, 2.4kWh. they do have usable of just under 2kWh based upon DOD of 80%. The Moixa AI does limit its use to prolong life, however I believe I will be ok

Yes, however it does make a difference to what we pay 💰

Thanks for the feedback. As the blog says I did look at battery only, charging off-peak and using during peak. I worked out quite a saving just doing that. In terms of warranty, solar has a 25year warranty and whilst the inverter and battery only have a 10 year warranty, Moixa extends that for...

I’ve been documenting what I went through to size and select my solar & battery solution and supplier and have published it at the link below. I’ve tried to keep it relatively simple so that anyone can use the same method to size what they need...

I’m actually going with a Solar & Battery solution as battery alone is full VAT whereas solar + battery is reduced VAT and in Scotland I can get 0% funding if I do both but would have to have paid for battery solution myself. My bundle is 4.2kw Solar & 7.2kw battery for £9k. Means payback is...

No problems, I’ve done a few spreadsheets to try and work it out and have my fingers crossed 🤞 I’ve got it right

My average usage was about 8KWh per day. Standard Price per KWh was 20p so if I consumed all power at that price it would be £1.60 per day, £584 pa (plus standing charge of about 20p per day). I sized my battery to take almost all of my load so if it charges during off-peak @ say 5p per KWh it...

I’ve ordered a 4.2kw solar & 7.2kw battery system from Moixa for just over £9k fully installed. Picked Moixa as their system is a smart battery and they pay you to use it (even though most users have never had system used) and if you do this they also extend warranty of battery and inverter for...

I did have some initial problems with getting it WIFI configured, but once done all good.

I don’t know but I can’t see why not. You can install it stand alone (ie not internet connected) and you don’t need an app you can just use your phone to control it as it has its own internal access point (ie you connect to it using WIFI, open a browser and use a address http://192.168. 33.1)...

I've seen a few comments on posts which have suggested using a Shelly 1 Switch to upgrade a dumb charger to allow timed charging. Well now I've done it and I can confirm: 1. It works 2. It's relatively easy to install (I’m no genius and I did it) 3. Cost me under £20 and saved £800 on...
