PV Feed In Tariff

Try email customerservices@pinergy.ie, they respond reasonably quick.

Yes.

Energypal.ie state there is a currently an issue with the HDF files.

Let's hope they have a backup... If they don't will we be paid deemed?

My feed in is zeroed from 15-04-22 to 09-04-24, the last few days are ok, from the 10th

Because the data is a bit flakey, eventually consistent, I replace with the latest HDF. Need to add a backup option.

Not sure if just me but something dodgy is happening with the meter values and the data on the ESBN portal.

Due to the wrong FIT numbers last month, 27kwh paid less than what ESBN data says, I took a photo of the meter at 00:00 on 1st April and at 00:00 1st May.

1st April = 1313kwh

1st May = 2260kwh

So April export at the meter is (2260-1313), 947kwh.

Data from HDF file says 900kwh and FIT payment is spot on for 900kwh from pinergy but wrong again (for different reason)

My shelly is also reporting about 940kwh exported so close enough to reality.

74kwh unpaid for and keeps going up, I'm not happy about it, the import is always 100% because of course it is. This keeps going on we're all losing serious money over the course of a year.

Guess we're going back to taking photos of the meter with a newspaper beside it ffs.

Mystery solved, esbn export for 15th of April 5kwh, actual export that day 43kwh, bastards

I have the same, just 2 export entries for the 15th, at 00:30 & 01:00. Export to grid that day was about 36kWh

From ESBN FAQ section. I see some of you are already aware of this.

I have a smart meter but some days I am provided with deemed export. Why is this?

Where ESB Networks cannot read your meter to record smart export quantities, over a period of 8 days, we will provide deemed export quantities to your supplier in their place. Your supplier is aware of instances where deemed export quantities are provided in respect of your MPRN (Meter Point Reference Number) and the scenarios in which deemed quantities are provided and can explain these to you.

My export quantities seem to differ from the ESB Networks HDF file and what my smart meter shows. Why is this?

Where ESB Networks cannot read your meter to record smart export quantities, over a period of 8 days, we will provide deemed export quantities to your supplier in their place. The design of the interim microgeneration scheme is such that deemed export quantities will not be replaced by actual values. This means that, in instances where deemed quantities have been sent to your supplier, there will be a discrepancy between the data used for remuneration and the data recorded on the smart meter, or on the ESB Networks HDF files.

I apologize if this was answered before, but was unable to find it..

Does anyone now what the export cap is for various providers? or is it set by ESBN?

Thanks in advance!

I'm missing export data for the 15th too. I know ESB had an issue with exports around that time but it has been resolved, except for the 15th for me. It's a day I generated around 28kWh too! Import is fine for that day and exports that were missing due to the glitch on ESB website are all fine now.

Also just a heads up, for those new to solar exports might not exactly line up with your billing date. My last bill is missing around 45kWh compared to my HDF file but Energia show what dates they use exports and it was 4-5 days behind the billing window itself.

Not sure how they do it, looks random.

For March it didn't match the HDF, but for February and April it was 100% what the month total was in the HDF

When do SSE make their FIT payments?
I remember reading somewhere it was May & November?
Has anyone received them? I logged into my SSE account but could see no reference or figures around FIT…

Also do they pay it out or just credit your account?

SSE calculate it in May and November. It’ll either come in as credit or as a payment in June and December.

Also, SSE lowering their charges but also their FIT rates from July 1st to 19.5cent/kWh.

Is it just me or everyone with FIT doesn't want any unit prices to go down and use as an excuse to cut FIT?

I guess it depends on circumstances i.e. whether you have a battery, EV, all electric house & consumption.

My own all electric house has only consumed 40kWh this week »» 25kWh of which was imported. I've no battery or EV so opt to export the excess, in this case I exported 75kWh this week. A disappointing figure tbh as has been May in general.

A low night rate in my case wouldn't be much use when I only use circa. 2kWh during that period. I prefer to sweat the asset to see how much credit can be built up before the onset of winter.
