#Eversource replaced my electric meter #today with a smart meter. Ref: https://www.eversource.com/residential/account-billing/smart-meters
During a normal electric outage our #Enphase #solar storage system kicks in automatically so we don't even notice, but while they were replacing the meter everything had to be shut off completely for safety, so our power went out, just for a few seconds since the guy doing the work knows his stuff.
It took about 20 minutes after that for the Enphase system to come fully back online. D'oh.

Decided to recreate the energy graph that #Enphase provide in their app in #HomeAssistant, not sure why I waited 18 months to do this. Took me a couple of attempts to set up the helpers correctly and ensure consumption was always negative. Example from yesterday looks rather good, might make the numbers above the graph daily totals instead of 15 minutes averages 📈

Then at 8.23am my integration failed again and #Enphase have done another update, this time you can't log in locally at all without a JWT supplied by them. ARGHMMMMMMM

We had a somewhat beefy solar array installed in 2022. It's consists of 39 Enphase IQ8+ microinverters. The system has been performing well and I don't regret it, but one thing that puzzles me is the failure rate of the microinverters. We lose about 2 per year. It's covered by warranty (including labor), but it kind of blows my mind that Enphase eats this level of annual failures if my system is representative. #enphase #solar #solarpower

I've been troubleshooting some consumption reading discrepancies on my solar installation and these terrible power factor numbers are leaving me with questions.
This was when a washing machine started running, but could a load really be that reactive?
I'm also suspicious that both legs are showing exactly the same consumption, which I wouldn't expect.
