Hi all

Just wondering if this is common? Recently moved elec/gas to EDF (EV tariff), EDF set the direct debit amount to just over £300 per month. My usage since joining has been zero from the grid for elec and £1.50ish a week on gas, plus the standing charge. I called to get the direct debit amount reduced (currently £652 in credit, two months d/d and referral), this was refused until the first bill is generated; the reason being that they do not know the usage until the first bill. I know it will all work out next month, but will equate to another £300 going out for nothing.

Hi all.

Currently I have a Deco xe75 3 device mesh network, I have recently had the opportunity to run cat6 into the loft and want to ceiling mount an ap. Any recommendations for a single deco product?

Thanks

Hi all,

I have recently switched from octopus to edf, I provided octopus and edf with an electrical reading on the morning of the swap over, which produced a final bill. Equating to circa £100 in credit from octopus. However, I have received another bill with an adjusted final reading value from octopus, this value is significantly lower from the value that I’ve read, equating to another £300 odd pounds in refunds. So bringing my account to £400 in credit with octopus.

EDF are reading my smart meter every hour, and I can see that this aligns to the reading with what Octopus has closed the account at.

Can a smart meter have two different readings?

Any ideas on how long it normally takes to process the refund without having the direct debit setup?

Morning all,

Just after some high level advice, I’m having a solar panel and battery install; scheduled for mid August. My current elec and gas provider is octopus (fixed from 8 months back).

What would be the recommended tariff for overnight charging, and a good SEG return? For simplicity I would move my gas as well.

Also when would you recommend to sign-up for a mid August install date? I would like to get these completed roughly the same time.

Thanks in advance.

Hi all,

Has anyone figured out a decent way to permit software uninstalls using EPM? I’ve had a brief play with rules allowing control.exe with an additional argument for appwiz.cpl. But the child process elevation is not following the initial elevation.

I know the best strategy would be fully centrally managed software, but we’re in a rubbish situation with some previous decisions.

Thanks in advance.

Hi all,

Has anyone had a g99 submitted to GTC recently? If so how long did it take to process on average?

Thanks in advance.

Morning all,

Install is due at the end of July. My installer during the site survey basically said that I can decide on the day where my battery will be installed, either outside near the consumer unit or inside the garage. However, he was pretty adamant that the gateway has to be installed above the consumer unit. Is this an access requirement for utility workers? Or could I push for the gateway to be installed in the garage?

Thanks in advance.

Evening all,

Moved into our house a little over 1 year ago now. I was sitting in the back garden looking at the exterior wall and thought I’ve never opened this junction box next to the utility door. Upon opening, there is a lighting tail curled up in the box, it’s obviously not water tight as it was also full of dead spiders. Checking the plans from the original builder, it looked like they were going to install a switched external light but never fitted the actual light fitting.

I would assume that the original house builder shouldn’t have left it like this, and my best course of action would be to make it water tight and fit a light?

Morning all,

Certain a call to CS will sort this out, but would first ask here.

End of July I’m having a fairly large Solar/battery install completed. Currently I’m on a 12month fixed tariff with octopus, if I attempt to change the tariff via the app, I only have two options. 12 month fix or Flexible. Should I be able to select one of the intelligent tariffs via the app? I do currently have an EV and wall charger, but neither are compatible on intelligent go.

Any idea why or anything I can do on the app to make them available.

Thanks in advance.

Hi all,

I am planning on pulling the trigger today on the below; but wanted one last sanity check.

17 Longi x10 (480w) panels
Tesla powerwall 3
Tesla gateway
Bird netting
2 elevations of scaffolding
All paperwork/installation
£13575

Well respected local installer doing solar since 2016, but trading since late 90’s. Came in as the third cheapest quote, but the cheaper quotes were national based firms and felt like they were more box shifters.

Also hoping to get the £375 rebate from Tesla and £1000 incentive from the mortgage company. So end cost would be £12200.

Morning all.

Finally coming to the end of comparing quotes, however I received a curveball local quotation. They have quoted Astro N7 bifacial panels, any recommendations on these panels?

The number of panels is 2 less than the other quotes and the panels are 455w instead of 475-485w (Aiko,Longi), but currently 1k less than the next cheapest.

Any recommendations/advice?

As per title, thinking of pulling the trigger on a quote by Nanopro-tech, can anyone comment on the company/install?

Hi,

Trying to rationalise if the effort is worth it. Current mortgage provider offers a £1000 green rebate for the installation of solar panels. The only problem is that this has to be registered/installed within 1 year of the mortgage opening. I don’t require additional borrowing to fund the installation, but debating about adding a £5001 mortgage so I can claim the £1000 cash back. After the cashback has been claimed I would then clear that element of the loan (incurring an early redemption charge).

As per title has anyone had a system installed by either of the above two companies?

Thanks in advance

Afternoon all, has anyone got a goodwe ESA inverter/battery? If so what are you opinions of it?

I’m still collecting quotes for my install and have had a goodwe quoted by one supplier, another supplier is pretty determined to push me down the fox route.

Thanks in advance.

Hi all,

Still waiting on other quotes to come in, but received the below from the first supplier. How does the below seem?

15 panels (2 elevations)
6kw Fox ESS H1 G2 inverter
11.52 kw Fox ESS EP12
Full install/ commissioning

£9600

Thanks in advance

Afternoon all,

For whatever reason I always have trouble with device control, hoping someone can point my in the right direction. Current configuration is:

Device control enabled
Default enforcement Deny

Device control policy:
Read all devices - tied to entra group
Read/write all devices - tied to entra group
Read Specifc devices - tied to entra group
Read/write specific devices - tied to entra group

Policy is working as expected except for specific USB SD card readers. I cannot get these working on any identifier, I have used threat hunting to identify the ID’s but these are still being blocked. I have tried using the upstream vid_pid for the reader but I still cannot get them to work.

Has anyone got these type of devices to work?

Thanks in advance.
