Do those strings have the same orientation?

Inverter 1 string is all North while Inverter 2 has some north some west (4 / 4)

Edit: i need to replan them when i have money and add more strings - but for now they work

Been up this side with no break. Does yours go of regularly?

I had issues yesterday with the app showing device offline. Sorted itself out eventually

Not for a while now but when it does its on the hour and for a fixed period, looks a lot like maintenance of some sort.

Back again 22:30.

Sitting on the couch drinking a whisky, braai going, watching music videos with the kids...

See a red light staring at me from inside the display, wonder wtf it is - I found my missing Pi3 for solar assistant... It's RetroPi.

EDIT: also,the reason I noticed it is because I was thinking I need black network cables because I hate seeing cabling and was wondering why there were two white cables.

Where does the inverter get the time zone from? I've noticed mine keeps syncing the time an hour ahead

From dongle. If you have a Solarman one it defaults to Cairo. You should be able to change it to Harare/Pretoria

Quick insurance question.

Does solar/inverter/batteries go on house insurance or as house contents? Mine is at different companies, so need to make sure I add it to the correct place asap.

My insurance just added the cost of the system to the value of the property. So I guess it should go under the homeowners insurance.

Changed it - but it's still syncing the time one hour ahead.

I'll change it to 7:50... 10 minutes later it's back at 8:50

Building insurance. It's a fixture.

Did you change the time, or the time zone?

Both. Changed the time zone, then set the time correctly (2x).

Interest - logged in via web browser on my PC and it still shows Cairo - changed it there as well, lets see what happens.

RE: cables for solar assistant - is the price on their website justified ? Seems a bit steep for a simple communication cable.
