Hi all.
I've got a question. So, I am in an electric-only house. I generate all my hot water throgh immersion heaters. As a result, it made sense to have an Eddi installed when I got my PV array (Still waiting for the batteries, grrrrrr - were supposed to be delivered on the 1st Feb, then 1st March, then 1st April. If I get them this year, I'll count myself lucky).
so, when I look at the Givenergy App, it shows that, off-peak, my import from the grid is around 800w from about 1am until 3 am. This is fine. This is heating up my hot water using off peak. If I look at the Myenergi app, it shows that I am importing about 1KW.
Ok, there is a disparity but I'm not worried about that.
What I find odd is that I am ONLY importing 800w when I would expect to draw 3kW. When I look at the energy usage on the myenergi app, it correctly shows that the Eddi is showing a supply of 3kW.
Can anyone shed some light on what is going on?
I'm trying to work out how much I am using and how much I am saving using the Eddi but I cannot make the numbers work. When I look at my usage during the day, it makes sense as the eddi is supplying what the solar array can generate meaning that I'm exporting very little. When I get my batteries (grrr), I hope this to be zero.
Cheers
Scott
