Are you part of an OVO Smart Home trial? Request to join our private trialist group!

Hi @sylm_2000 and welcome back - good to hear from you!

I believe the Powervault storage trial is no longer allowing members to register their interest. The product page with FAQs is here. Pretty sure it was roughly based around the South West, but don’t hold me to that. 

@Jequinlan and @sylm_2000 with unrelated V2G unit issues   I’m glad to hear Indra are aware of both though. @sylm_2000 are you not able to charge till this is resolved?

If there’s any updates on your other trial application, send me a PM or feel free to share the latest in this thread! 

@Tim_OVO - thanks, no response to a couple of emails from retrofit over the last three weeks. I am sure they are working in the application in the background.

Yes, the V2G charger is down from 10 days now.

@Tim_OVOwrote:

Pretty sure it was roughly based around the South West, but don’t hold me to that. 

I haven’t yet heard of anyone else on this PowerVault Trial, so I can’t be sure of the geographical coverage.

However, the Installation company (GMEC) who fitted my battery are based in north Devon and install PowerVault equipment throughout Devon & Cornwall. My site is just over an hour’s drive from their base.

And yet they haven’t installed any other batteries for the OVO/Kaluza Trial. So I’d assumed we were more widely spread.

Sorry to hear @sylm_2000 . I have been down since before xmas!

@Jequinlan - I hope you have a back-up. That’s a long time to resolve the fault.

Let’s hope they come around quickly

There’s two horses in the village @sylm_2000 - why would he need a backup?

@sylm_2000 sadly due to the fault and the installers design creating a single point of fail, i don't have a viable backup

My heat pump was meant to be installed Monday but it didn’t occur to me the installation would take nearly all week and with the south east being cold and loads of snow, I could do with heating and hot water in the house so it’s been postponed till the 22nd Feb! 

Once it is installed, I will be taking pictures and making a post 

Wow great to hear your installation is confirmed, @NinjaGeek 

Keep a look out for some padlocks and private area access….

Thanks @Tim_OVO! Just out of interest, because I was an OVO customer and will be coming back. Will my gen 1 smart meter just work again and not need to provide meter readings? Also, what can I do about having the heat pump installed? Is it better I go with EV everywhere tariff or is there one with a heat pump in mind?
