Hm. It might be a generational thing (I’m a Gen Xer and comfortable with figuring out gadgets) or maybe there’s too much separation of “lanes”. I’m going to bet there are soon going to be more women with the “hobby” for the same reason that chasing the hob made me read up properly: you have to nerd out a bit so the wool doesn’t get pulled over your eyes, whether by a salesman or a spouse 
My operating principle is: everyone to understand how something works and what its parameters are + be considerate of each other.
Plus women are the ones who start by reading the instruction manual, isn’t it 
though it’s taking me time to get my head around the MPII manual — it feels like I’m orientating myself in a completely new universe and I haven’t yet got the map right.
Forgot, it all is a click away, you just need to know what you want.
I’m getting my head around how it’s done! And I’m so going to go here: New Victron Node-RED Feature: Eskomsepush API
(But temporarily, I turned off the inverter mains at 1800 and coasted on battery till 2100. Much better than the panic of the other day and 12% used in 5 hours. Recharged in about 30 which I’ve filed for followup as possibly being a bit on the greedy side and how do the cells feel about it?)
How did you get to the forum?
My early reading landed me on PF, where The Plonkster really stood out. When he seemed to have disappeared, I tracked him down, started reading ET and was “Yes! This is where I want to be!” I’d been strongly inclining to Victron beforehand (track record, support, flexibility, build-ability, said-Gen X itch to tweak and customise) but the absolute gold on ET sealed the deal for me. I can’t say thank you enough for the sheer wealth of knowledge and support
