Hi Mike - have you done the good'old "turn off and on"? I find that my system hangs sometimes, and the HEMS and the charger just needs a reset to work again!

Also - I have set up two profiles. When I want to trickle charge using solar, I have the target charge level set very low - at 30% - so that unless my car battery is below 30%, it will only trickle charge using excess solar. My other profile is used when I need to quickly charge the car - set at...

Hi Mike - I think the problem is that you have enabled the timer. For the charging to use excess solar only, you need to disable the timer. The timer tells the car to reach a certain state of charge by the scheduled time, so that will take precedence over the solar charging setting. Try...

I will be the contrarian here! I have the Mission E wheels, and I wish I didn't! I agree, they look amazing, and very much complement the Taycan's overall good looks. But ... they are so difficult to stay scratch-free!! The car is so wide, and the tyres are so low profile - I've already had them...

I have experienced this once, about a week in after I picked up my car. I did a complete reset (which I wanted to do anyway) and it hasn't happened since then. But my Porsche charger and home energy manager, and "my Porsche' app occasionally drop connection to Porsche server. I suspect it may...

My experience so far ... - the glass part is somewhat behind the driver's head (slightly) so you don't actually get a major impact from sun or glare - the heat doesn't really get through the metallic medium in the glass, although the light does - the air conditioning does a very good job...

I see that @AndiL has answered your questions - I'm sure he is a lot much more qualified than me (I'm just a lawyer haha). But yes, my system measures the excess energy between the solar production, and the energy being used by the house (including the battery [LG Chem - 13 kWH]), and then...

Hi Andreas - I tried connecting it; but was not successful. I was able to activate the modem in HEM, and to start the "connection establishment" process from the PMCC, but then it stopped after a while. It could be because I have a two-phase power system, and the HEM and the PMCC may be on...

Thanks Andreas. Is there a "dummy's guide" to connecting to PLC? I tried to connect via PLC but don't understand where the PLC modem is? I have downloaded the manual from Porsche, but as usual, the information is very sketchy and doesn't help me. FWIW - my WLAN connection is now relatively...

Hi Andreas - in relation to this point (of charging to 90%, then stopping), I have trouble-shot this. I don't believe it's in the settings - it should charge to 100% before stopping. I think what happened was that the PMCC lost its connection with the HEM (this happens sometimes - and I just do...

Hi Andreas - these are some of the settings. Hope it helps! cheers craig

Hi Burkhard - please feel free to check in again when you get your car. The HEM configuration is quite simple and doesn't require many parameters - just a couple of ticks ("prioritise PV" and "cost-optimised charging") from memory. See video attached of how the system is self-adjusting the...

Hi Jonathan @chylld May I suggest you try these steps to see if it works: Access your HEM via Hotspot (instructions should be in an envelope that came with the HEM) Enter your variable electricity tariff (for the period between 12am and 4am) - may be fake a tariff that makes this period...

Hi Burkhard @Gubab I can confirm that you are absolutely correct. Once the car's battery reaches my minimum setting for my "home" profile (65%), it started charging on variable current to reflect my solar generation. See my reply to @AndiL above - when I turned my timer off, with only the...

Hi @AndiL I think you are right in relation to your first point - it will charge at full speed to get to 85% for the timer. I just tested your request. So, I turned off the timer this morning (battery was showing SOC at 86% - note: it charges "over" the set level by 1 or 2%, don't know why)...

Picked up my MY22 Taycan RWD a couple of weeks ago, and had the Porsche Mobile Charger Connect (PMCC) and Porsche Home Energy Manager (HEM) installed at my house the same day - but I only figured it all out (finally) this morning, and got it to work the way I wanted. Issue: I have a 10 kW solar...
