Re: Drawing from the grid

Yes, I wondered if that might be the case. So this is more evidence of the issue being with the CT clamp.
Many thanks.

Re: Drawing from the grid

Thanks again. I've notified the installers - I'd rather not tamper with electrical things I don't understand!
I don't know if the attached screenshot helps, but I was surprised to see a negative 'load' when we had a fan heater and lots of work tools running in the property the other day. Should ...

Re: Drawing from the grid

So that all sounds reasonably positive.
Yes, we had an EV charger installed at the same time. Should the CT for the inverter clamp be pointing in the same direction as the Myenergi clamp?
Thanks again.

Re: Drawing from the grid

Thanks again Dave.
Here are the traces for PW1 Power this week.
My invoice says I paid for ten "TIgo TS4 PV Module Advanced Add-On/Retrofit", which I assume are optimisers. If it helps, there are certainly two cables coming from the panels to the inverter, as shown in the photo.
As far as the CT ...

Re: Drawing from the grid

Thanks Dave - I really appreciate your insight.
Here's a photo of the panels, looking north.
I'm sure the installers said the two arrays were connected independently, but I could have got that wrong. They did talk about microinverters. Would they make a difference? Is there anything that could be ...

Re: Drawing from the grid

There seems to be another issue with our new installation.
The 10 solar panels are in two arrays of 5 panels - one facing SE and the other facing SW.
From the graphs, it looks to me as though one of the arrays is not working properly, typically generating less than 10% of the other one.
Is anyone ...

Re: Drawing from the grid

That's really helpful, Dave - thank you.
In the circumstances, I think I'll ask the installers to come back and do it.

Drawing from the grid

Hi there
I'm a new starter and would really welcome some advice!
We had 10 panels, a Fox H1-3.7-E-G2 invertor and a Fox 10kWh EP11 battery installed last Monday.
Our property is currently being refurbished. It is empty at the weekend, with no appliances switched on apart from internet/WiFi equipment ...
