I use the mantra, if its free then you`ve got to be in it to win it, gone are the days of £12 per month for using energy out of peak times, I also have a (small 2.4kw) Solar PV system but it`s south east facing and my output starts to drop around 4.30pm, as we move into winter and with currently loosing 4 minutes a day PM might become useful when the PV output drops, but remember it is FREEEEEE to enter the promotion.

Thank you for your reply ​@BPLightlog.

Is the inverter the item in my loft or in the meter cupboard outside? I realise, may be different for everyone. I have no clue as to how to adjust any settings for it.

I doubt it would be in the meter cupboard ​@Jasmin10 . It’s a control box of a fair size usually and you should have remote access via an app or web link.

Lol, thank you. I know what it is now and it’s in my loft. I have no remote access to it and have never been told I can. I have the Moixa app where I can monitor solar generation and it’s distribution, and battery level. I have no means of changing any settings of anything.

Jasmin.

 

Ah, ok. 
There are settings that can be changed but that may be a step too far for your everyday usage.

    Thanks again ​@BPLightlog, I have had a look at the link you posted and you’re right, it is a step too far for me. I will leave well alone 😉
