The adjustment part we started when the imeon was fitted and it was not easy, but we do nothing at night that requires power except lights and tv and maybe the stove. Heating is all gas and I do not use my oven at all anymore - quite sad. But hey we have many braais. I think the water crises has also assisted in that washing machines and dish washers are much less used. We are definitely saving on electricity from what we used before the Imeon, but with electricity tariffs now going up another 16%, we will soon be back to what we paid then ! The main problem is really in winter as in summer we use very little. The geyser is on its own system and panels and runs independently and works like a dream, but of course also switches to power on bad days. I must admit that I thought we could come of the grid almost completely when the imeon was fitted, so that has been quite disappointing. The new batteries work well and I am hoping if we can get them sorted out, that we will be able to go onto the grid less

We wanted to charge batteries from grid when solar is insufficient, so that they remain fully charged. The batteries have only recently been fitted and with the little sunlight we have had, they have never yet been fully charged, with the result that we are on the grid far to often. We wanted to be able to regulate that and from the information booklet downloaded from Imeon it appeared as if we could adjust that ourselves once the Imeon was linked to the internet and we downloaded the app. But, it looks like we were wrong and it can only be done by an installer, hence my confusion in my initial post.

We are in Plattekloof

No issues to date with the Imeon itself. I knew there had to be some way to connect and get the stats, the card makes sense. The main reason we wanted to link to the internet was because our batteries are charging only from solar, but with all the bad weather and no sun, our batteries are not storing anything, with the result that we are on the eskom grid during dark days and at night. We wanted to charge the batteries up on the grid when necessary to be able to use batteries at night and come off grid. If only 2 of your clients have the card, there must be another way to charge the batteries on the grid without internet connection ?

Hi, thanks for your replies. It is an Imeon 3.6 Serial no 96131505100255. What would the card do and where would it slot in ? I am a bit clueless here

I am new to this forum and am desperate for some advice, help, anything. We had an imeon inverter, 12 solar panels and 4 stride batteries fitted end 2015 by a business called WP Solar in Cape Town- owner Arjan Smit. Arjan Smit has now left SA and is living in Holland and of course does not and will not honour his 5 year warranty. It soon became apparent that the stride batteries were far too weak and were pretty useless. We imported 2 huge Pylon lithium ion batteries from China and had these connected end 2017. We were advised by Pylon that if our inverter did not have the technology we would require an IMA - a montoring box, to which the inverter is connected and the batteries are connected to it. We then imported the IMA from Imeon and had it all correctly fitted beginning 2018. The Imeon works well and the batteries work really well but we need to have the Imeon linked to the internet to be able to monitor the batteries and change input. We can connect to the Imeon with all our devices BUT it is not connected to Imeon internet system. This should have been done by the installer Arjan Smit and was not done After many emails to Imeon ( they are extremely unhelpful ), all they can tell us is that the installer must link the inverter to their system through them and they refuse to deal with us, the end user. We cannot get any installer in Cape Town to help as all they want to do is rip out the old and put in theirs. Please can anybody give me any advice, help or anything as to how we can get this Imeon system linked, or is there an installer that can do it at whatever fee ??
