Great video Adam. Did you change the parameters for Export Margin and Response Delay on the eddi? I have a recently installed Givenergy AC coupled inverter and found that the eddi responded too quickly to the systems load-balancing where a few watts can flow too and from the grid for a very short period (seconds) so when its exporting eddi thinks its surplus and switches on the immersion heater for a few seconds. I have set mine to 100W and 30 secs as a test.

Presumably it has a ct on the immersion feed and sees no current flow when it applies volts to the immersion

Great install! It looks like the Eddi is still setup to measure grid as well as Zappi. This might cause some conflict. I think you (if you haven’t already!) will need to toggle off the grid on the internal CT config on Eddi.

Is there a setting to link the Eddi to battery storage?
@smikedenney2226 ай бұрын
Hi, I have a simple grid tied solar installation and a lot of energy is wasted and goes out to the national grid. If possible I would like to send some of that wasted power to an AC coupled Battery via a myenergi Eddi device. I spoke to an electrician who said the Eddi is only used for hot water tanks but that’s wrong because it also connects with a Zappi car battery charger. Would the Eddi be able to send power to an AC battery device?? Regards Ian
@sotaelectrical6 ай бұрын
So the Eddie is primarily used for the hot water tanks, you don’t need an Eddie to divert excess solar to the battery storage, you need a harvi and a CT clamp, that’s it.

Export price of electricity is always over the price of gas so the eddi is pointless.

Great video mate. Q's : does Zappi need a its own ct sensor ( if Eddi already has 2 CT's hard wired to consumer unit? 1 for house load and 1 for PV generation..... and can Eddi talk to the new Zappi (built in hub) without need for Harvi?

Be interesting to see how an Eddi interlocks with an S plan heating system, where it interrupts the power to the DHW valve demand (if that’s the best way to do it!). Also, can the Harvi be used instead of a hard wired for the grid? My garage, where my Zappi is , is remote from the house. Thought I tried it when I first installed , but I thought it needed to be hard wired.
@tom1997williams8 ай бұрын
Yes I believe you can use the Harvi for that purpose. As long as both the harvi and Zappi are close enough that they can talk to one another.

@@tom1997williams seems like a long payback if it only provides a top up once there is surplus solar electric. If only heating the water from the grid electric then I can see the potential value.

Smart money is octopus intelligent go, charge everything you can at night 7.5p kWh and then export everything during the day at 15p kWh, living off the battery when there isn’t much solar (after charging it at night) surely?

Yes that’s perfect if your on octopus, using the solar to heat the tank is still a good idea.
