Win #3?

After a big storm, I couldn't access my #Enphase #solar. 😭

Flashing red light on the box. No worries, switch off & back on again, I've done support... 4 red lights

Rang installer, described lights, ready to log a job. Opened box for a better look. I can see the symbols. The cloud & link lights are red.

Penny drops 😂

The box connects to my fried internet.🤦 No wonder the app kept failing...

Anyhoo, the small LEDs at the bottom are all green, so it's working. No job to log. Huzzah!😁

We've got rooftop #solar monitored by #Enphase, which I've largely been really happy with. But occasionally the inverters' breaker will flip (after a power surge, etc) and we'll stop producing any power.

I'd expect to get an email about this, but for some reason it's total silence. The app says everything is fine, but a cursory look at the device list shows that something is up.

This has bitten us a couple of times, since we'll be missing sunny days and not knowing it (until I happen to check)

Hallo ihr #PVBuddies, #Heimspeicher und #Energiewende'r*Innen,

ich habe endlich mal ein brauchbares Angebot für eine #pvAnlage erhalten:
- 25,5T€ für 13,5 kWP mit 10 kWh-Speicher von #Enphase und 2,5T€ für eine Wallbox wie sie meinem Chef gefällt. Ertragsprognose liegt bei ca. 12000 kWh/a.

Momentan haben wir 4500 kWh Strom- und 26000 kWh Gas-Verbrauch pro Jahr. Heizung ist uralt aber zuverlässig und mit Brennwert.

#eAuto kommt im April.

@aarbrk I have an #Enphase system, but there are a number of vendors whose controllers are capable of participating in they program. I believe there's a list of them on the page I linked.
The vendor manages it all over the internet in collaboration with the utility.
I can't recommend Enphase because I've had problems with them, but they're the only vendor I've ever used for this kind of product, so for all I know all the other vendors could be just as bad or worse.

Continued thread

I'd like to add however pleasant/ helpful it is to have severance pay however decent the company is about this whole thing, layoffs during fourth quarter are almost always there as a way to cook the books. It's a shitty thing to do to your people and it's part of the reason holidays are hard for so many folks.

So no #enphase I'm not okay with this. You don't get a free pass. You're not getting a thank you.

Das spannendste an einer #pv-anlage sind die Daten. Seit der PV-Anlage sehe ich in Echtzeit in der #enphase App den Effekt, den ein Wasserkocher, eine Herdplatte oder eine Waschmaschine hat. Eines der Geräte allein verzehnfacht bis zum Abschalten den Hausverbrauch an Strom. Watt Angaben stehen auf jedem Gerät. Aber sobald man die Daten sieht wird es realer, Strom ist nicht "einfach so" da, und ich fange automatisch an zu optimieren.

Time to live the values, and create some unique content for the Mastodon peoples! Today we are talking about using excess Solar energy production to charge an EV. It is almost too simple!

Imagine a future without oil rigs, refineries, tanker trucks and leaky buried petrol tanks! I have the equivalent of all that on my roof. Today. With no emissions. Heck I pray for another day with a "solar spill". 🤪

Energy monitor is sense.com, solar is Enphase and Q-Cells, EV is Tesla. ☮️
