Re: Battery is not charging...Not sure where power is going

Dave... you are a legend...it all seems to be working as advertised :) Whereas before the inverter was showing the total PV generation, it is now showing the house load. The battery was charging when there was excess PV and is now discharging as there is no PV generation. Thanks for all of your help ...

Re: Force Charge/Discharge on AC1 / Intelligent Octopus Go integration

Hi Did you manage to resolve the first of your queries: I can't take advantage of the additional charging schedule off peak charging times or free electricity times outside of the normal off-peak hours as the battery continues to discharge when I enter those periods rather than charging from the ...

Re: Battery is not charging...Not sure where power is going

I think we're getting somewhere.... The battery is now charging :) Is the load the wrong way around on the inverter? It is showing what appears the be the house load and not what the panels are producing? If I reverse the ct clamp the load on the inverter shows as a negative figure approximately ...

Re: Battery is not charging...Not sure where power is going

So the electrician has been back today and he initially had the CT going into the CHINT meter and the CHINT meter going into meter 485A and 485B into the inverter. After reading the manual he has now bypassed the CHINT and fed the CT directly into CT1- and CT1+ and left the CHINT going into 485A and ...

Re: Battery is not charging...Not sure where power is going

Hi Dave You are correct, the grey CHINT meter cable is going into the inverter and not the black ct clamp cable. I assume that this is why the inverter is not reading from the grid. Could this be why the inverter is sending output to the house and then to the grid and not the battery (the 0.049kw is ...

Re: Battery is not charging...Not sure where power is going

So the arrow is now pointing upwards.

I have attached a pic of the inverter just in case it has been wired in reverse.

Re: Battery is not charging...Not sure where power is going

Hi Dave I did rotate the ct clamp through 180 and I have attached another picture showing the arrow just in case I have got it wrong. The Fox cloud is still showing the incorrect load on the house and the battery is only charging at 0.049kW. I have attached another pic, whilst appreciating that the ...

Re: Battery is not charging...Not sure where power is going

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly, It is a recent install and being honest, the electrician didn't really seem to have a clue and kept on saying that this is the first time that he has installed this equipment. I have reversed the ct clamp and it doesn't seem to have made a difference. The ...

Battery is not charging...Not sure where power is going

Hi, I am pretty new to this so apologies if it seems like a daft question. I am currently generating approximately 3.5kw of PV and it shows on the cloud that only 0.05kw is charging the battery and the rest is going to the house. I know from historical use and myenergi app that the house is only ...
