Sunsynk Inverter / battery / Solar export
I continue to have some issues. I am getting a new smart meter installed tomorrow which I am hoping may help solve the problem.
1. Despite the battery (Dyness) been fully charged the house continues to consume 8-10 kWh per 24 hours. It appears that a small amount of battery stored power is utilised but not to its full potential. As such, allowing for the current good weather (West Midlands, UK) my grid electricity use has not changed despite investing in a storage battery.
2. Currently I have a generation meter which means that whatever I generate I get 60.23p per kWh. This was the old contract before FiT was abolished. It is deemed that I export back to grid 50% of what I generate and get a further 4.25p per kWh. When I turn the ‘solar export’ to off position the flow diagram also shows no power from PV and I don’t get any recordings into my generation meter. Similar if I limit the solar export to say a 1000W then that is also what my generation meter shows. Generation meter is not the ‘Smart Export Guarantee (SEG)’ which replaced the Feed In Tariff back in 2019.
3. In investing in another battery I need the above resolved so that I can utilise the stored power to its full potential. Can I 'mix and match' batteries? My installers fitted in Dyness 4.8KW battery and on expanding this do I need the same make battery or can I add say Sunynk batterynk?
Thanks in advance, Mav
