Lights flicker/dim when discharging

It’s happened a couple times now. Lights in my house dim slightly then come back.

House is being run off the battery, nothing coming in from the mains. Load is only around 0.2kW. It has been raining and cold when this happens so not sure if that has an impact.

Is this normal/to be expected, or something I should get my installer to come back and check on?

Are there logs or anything that I can look at to see what might be happening?

Thx

Dribbling peak & shoulder from grid

Am with GloBird and got my config to charge during the free period and self consume around that time. Have plenty of battery power to cover all the self consumption time.

GloBird app is showing some dribbling power from the grid. Any idea what’s happening here and what I can do to stop it?

Self consumption not working

Have set up my times profile but for some reason it never kicked over to self-consumption and is still drawing from the grid.

What happens to times that I haven’t set a specific mode for? Maybe that’s the issue here??

Any ideas? Thx

SOLVED
You need to set the mode for every minute of the day or it’ll revert to something else.

0kw Export Limit with AusNet. What gives?

So my installer (Chief Electricians) got pre-approval 2 days before the actual installation started (this feels problematic but anyway). Now that the installation has been in for 3 weeks, the installer is telling me that AusNet have approved 0kw Export Limit only.

Apparently there are too many people installing solar/battery in my area and they don't want to add any more.

One big part of buying Sigen was the flexibility I could get with Modbus to play around with this whole thing. Quite disappointing.

What options do I have here? Does this mean I can't feed in power to the grid?

Bologna, Torino, or Bergamo?

Heading from the UK down to Rome before flying back to Australia and wanting to spend a 4 or 5 nights in northern Italy.

I've been to Florence, Rome, Venice, Milan, and Bologna before. Going to be there at the end of July so it's gonna be hot I suspect (I don't like the heat so much).

Traveling solo and looking for somewhere where I can people watch, hang out in local bars (not big party vibes), etc. Somewhere mostly walkable is ideal too.

Was thinking of visiting Bologna again because I enjoyed it (and the food), but also because it's a uni city with that type of history which I like. But keen for other ideas too.
