    I would say it depends on the panels. Jinko allow @BobTheDinosaur's type of installation : https://jinkosolar.eu/wp-content/uploads/Installation-Manual-Jinko-IEC-updated-version-2023.07.20.pdf

    Although it can be seen as trivial, please ensure you understand kw and kwh. Your inverter is capable of supplying 8kw of power (minus the h) at any given time to your load. That is what your max load is... 8000
    If you have 10kw worth of panels on your roof, then the max solar load for the card will be 10000.

    FYI. I emailed support and this is what they came back with. If the inverter starts acting up whilst under 3200W / 20A guess we have a leg to stand on.

    @Bobster. My PP meter was installed 1 Aug. I did not include anything about solar on my application as I did it many months ago (long story) and I did not have it at that time. By the time they came out to finalise my conversion, my solar installation was complete and I'd been been running it for about 2 months. My bill I received on 4 Aug included usage for July till 1 Aug (minimal due to solar).  I was not at home when they came to install but they did ask my wife if we had solar to which she replied yes and that was that.
    Hopefully this means it is a "clean" switchover and with next month's bill I'll be 100% on prepaid.

    Sorry about that. There have been some major changes to the code in preparation for release 2.0. The documentation is being migrated to GitHub pages but having some issues with the GitHub action that builds this. Should be sorted soon
    In the interim you can still find the old README under the 1.9.8 tag

    TIP: Always buy a few kWh per month from CityPower or else they might disconnect you for non-usage.

    I pull my sna inverter data from the wifi dongle into HA using lxpbridge.  As a test I disabled my internet connection and the data was still being updated in HA.

    I got tired of my neighbor's generator running permanently, during loadshedding, so that his wife can watch Netflix. I ran a lead under the wall and made him promise to only use it for wifi and a tv. At least now it is al lot more quiet.

    Haibo!!!  I'm sure I looked the other day and there was no Luxpower entry. Sorry for wasting your time.
     
    PS. Had a quick scan. I don't have have any of those entities. I use the lxpbridge integration. I'll do the mappings and send to you so you can have a copy/paste solution for it.
