[QUOTE="torbrowser, post: 536232, member: 35318"] Finally got round to fitting my immersion optimiser I went for the solarimmersion unit as its a uk company My set up is Growatt hybrid SPH inverter and battery storage Now I was expecting this to use excess kWh’s that would otherwise be exported back to the grid once the battery has fully charged, good idea as on bright days I can throw away a fair bit of power. What is actually happening is every time the sun shines it switches the immersion on and robs the battery of charge [ATTACH type="full"]14457[/ATTACH] Had the clamp meter out to try and figure out where things are going, [ATTACH type="full"]14455[/ATTACH] So to overcome this I have set inverter to ‘battery first’ so now all generated power goes into the battery and in theory once full the inverter will try to export the power and the solarimmersion will detect this and divert to hot water tank Trouble is meanwhile, every time I boil the kettle I’m pulling power from grid not the generated solar power. So don’t want to run my system in this mode. Who else has one of these devices fitted, how does yours function ?? [/QUOTE]
