[QUOTE="NobbyTucker, post: 553632, member: 37816"] I have a PV setup which suffers from a lack of pre-planning, but I am happy at least I have one! The story is that I was having an extension built on a house and the builder was ready before I was and I was on here last year doing some rapid research! I have fitted 6 PV integrated panels into the new extension roof and given the small size did not go for it battery but fitted a Solic 200 diverter and a hot water cylinder. My trusty electrician and heating engineer helped out as best as they could, but PV and green doesn't seem their strong points, so want to double check before I spend any more. The heating engineer has fitted a Hive system to the boiler, but this does not seem to give me much data and it would be good to know the temperature of the hot water in the cylinder. Is there a Hive addon or should I go for something like an Owl sensor/controller? I'm then wondering how the hot water system will know when and how much gas to use to 'top up' the heat to the tank. Am i missing something? [/QUOTE]
