During this hot weather, I regularly see my GE Hybrid inverter reach temps above 80C during export windows, especially if they are long and run into the evening. My inverter is in the garage right by a door to the garden, but with little or no airflow on warm nights it does get a little toastie.
There are safe guards in the inverter itself and its supposed to shutdown if things do get too hot but I try to keep it below 80C by manually changing the export plan when ambient temps are high by putting a forced demand period in and monitoring the inverter temp for a 10 degree drop in temp before allowing the export to start again.
Describe the solution you'd like
Can PB monitor the inverter temperature (GE sensor sensor.givtcp_*******_invertor_temperature) during a planned export and if it breaches an upper temp limit it updates the plan to a demand slot. It then reschedules an export slot after the temp drops to a lower limit - I'd suggest something at least 10 degrees lower than the upper one.
Describe alternatives you've considered
I'm doing it manually atm.
