Clocks forward tonight...Do we lose 1 hour of EV rate??

Edit!!

Just double checking they go forward at 1am to to 2am so we should be good... Panic over. Google told me 2am but good auld RTE said 1am

Just thinking about this at 2am tonight the clocks spring forward to 3am!!! That means we lose 1 hour of EV charging rate..

Need to check my inverter automations to make sure it shuts off at 5am. I think it's smart enough to take this into account but I don't want to be caught pulling 18kW at 45 cent per kWh week🫣

to save 5c?

Have a €7.00 pint and relax.

Got my timing wrong (see my edited post) but 18 kWh by €0.45 is a €7.70 mistake if for example your automation is worked by start time and then +3 hrs to that.

Yeah, we go forward at 1am in March and back at 2am in October.

Whoever has a Solis inverter needs to manually change the inverter's clock.

my installer set up the clock change automatically for me; or at least did it remotely.

but the confusing thing is the website is in IST and the app in UTC; rather than reading the time frmo my phone.
