Weirdly mine did something similar a week. or so ago, sorted itself out when I re-installed it. Been fine since . Firmware update ??
Octopus put us up from 5p to 10p overnight.
Good news is that itâs back to 7.5p now. Makes charging the car overnight a cheaper option again.
Which tariff are you on?
Intelligent.
2330 to 0530 cheap

You mentioned in the other thread about the panels being on both sides of the roof.
I think this is the layout weâre going with - 8.69 kw.

How much of a dent wuz your constantly idling sex pond making to your daily KWh usage Jim. Is the heatpump now looking more viable now youâve eliminated that constant drain on your daily consumption?

Definitely get a full parallel inverter on that one (something like a Solaredge).
Be interesting to see how the max output on that compares to a standard south (ish) facing array.

Not sure of the exact amount because we donât yet have a smart meter - thatâs being installed next month.
I reckon the hot tub consumed roughly about 200 kW in the month before we had it decommissioned.

Iâll would always go with east west rather than south if I was retired or both of us working from home
Blimey Jim thatâs pretty horrendous for summat that wasnât seeing any use!!
I do fully appreciate that in just moving to yer new house it took you a moment to identify tâ culprit.
That alone is double my monthly consumption. But I do use a lot of energy efficient tech & have cut out most obvious & often less obvious inefficiencies.

I do have combi boiler GCH & a gas cooker aside from my leccy usage to account for too, but at least that comes down to a pittance in the warmer months.
