Says an already blue-painted person Agree 100% of course We did design our home in line with the basic premises but since Madam is the oldest what she says goes anyway.

Sounds useful, can you post a photo please? I bet some place in China is banging them out, just got to find it.

How big is your lawn? Any obstructions to long-range sprinkler operation (trees)? Are you prepared to dig it up to install pop-ups and their pipework? Do you have a drought-resistant turf variety? How is your water pressure? Need a pump? In reality, a hose with one of those portable whizzy sprinkler units on the end has to be the cheapest / easiest solution.

And with that we can draw this thread to a close. Please continue in one of the many others on the subject.

I'm afraid that genie is well and truly out of the bottle now. No U turns possible.

Yeah, ours is due next week too. The last few times the rate has changed it's not been reflected immediately and been corrected in the next bill. PEA should be used to implementing these changes by now

This ^^^ and a slapped wrist if the IO is in a bad mood or into S&M.

Just a different set in government this year.

Don't park in the sun Sorry, but I had the same issue, never found a reliable solution

Little Red Riding Hood was on her way to grandmother’s house when all of a sudden, the Big Bad Wolf jumps out of bushes. “What do you want?” cried Red Riding Hood. “I’m gonna shag you!” howled the Big Bad Wolf. Pulling a pistol from her picnic basket, Little Red Riding Hood exclaims “Oh, no! You’re gonna eat me, just like the book says.”

Upon arriving home, a husband was met at the door by his sobbing wife. Tearfully she explained, "It's the pharmacist. He insulted me terribly this morning on the phone." Immediately the husband drove downtown to confront the pharmacist and to demand an apology. Before he could say more than a few words, the druggist told him, "Now, just a minute, please listen to my side of it... This morning the alarm failed to go off, so I was late getting up. I went without breakfast and hurried out to the car, just to realize that I locked the house with both house and car keys inside. I had to break a window to get my keys. Then, driving a little too fast, I got a speeding ticket. Later, about three blocks from the store, I had a flat tire. When I got to the store there was a bunch of people waiting for me to open up. I opened and started waiting on these people, and all the time the darn phone was ringing off the hook." He continued, "Then I had to break a roll of nickels against the cash register drawer to make change, and they spilled all over the floor. I got down on my hands and knees to pick up the nickels; the phone was still ringing. When I came up I cracked my head on the open cash drawer, which made me stagger back against a showcase with bunch of perfume bottles on it...all of them hit the floor and broke. Meanwhile, the phone is still ringing with no let up, and I finally got to answer it. It was your wife. She wanted to know how to use a rectal thermometer...and, honestly mister, all I did was tell her!"

It was a long two hours, as the priest heard no confessions, and was about to close up the church and go back to the rectory. Then he hears a noise, and sees a drunk man staggering toward the confessional booth. “oh well, this ought to be interesting”, he thinks, as the drunk enters the penitent booth. The priest waited for five minutes, hearing all kinds of noises from the drunk, but no confession. So he finally whispers “can I help you, my son?” The drunk replies, “yeah, can you pass me some toilet paper? this stall is all out”.

One of those annoying things that you just can't un-see once you spot it.

Our Sofar inverters when export is disabled usually read a small power in either direction, it's just the nature of the beast. Until we actually know whether it's supposed to be exporting we can't really answer whether it's worth it or not. Have you been able to check the inverter settings? If you are definitely using all the power you are making during the day then obviously it matters not, but you should be making rather more then you are saying, even in the "winter". Yesterday, our 10.6kWP system generated 30kWh, I would imagine your system that's about 1/3 the size would be in the order of 10kWh.

OK, if you have export enabled your meter should run backwards when exporting. As noted by others, the easy way to check is to turn off all the loads in the house at lunch-time on a sunny day and observe the meter. IMPORTANT NOTE: - Doing this is definitely not permitted so ensure you are not exporting when the meter reader comes and also ensure that you never end up with an overall net-export (meter reading lower than the last one). Many small systems do this, it's absolutely guaranteed that PEA are aware of these systems and tolerate the unofficial net-metering. If your inverter is a clone/badge-engineered Sofar then enabling/disabling export may be as easy as simply disconnecting the current transformer (CT) with export disabled, the inverter will then export any available energy.

No inverter manual??? You should be able to download it from the PSI website, with luck. The PEA App, keeps basic historical data for >6 months, but 6 months that data will be on your bill anyway.

Surely the app shows more info than the basic screenshot we are seeing? Even the basic Sofar app has graphing and historical data. Also, @LoeiI can you check the setting of the inverter "no-export" control (Sofar call it anti-reflux), do you have an electronic or spinning disc meter?? I also suspect that the display of "Kw" (note the incorrect case) on the app actually means "kWh" there's no way that system can be generating an instantaneous power of 6.9kW! The main page of the basic Sofar app looks like this: -

I had to Google "ennui"
