Hi,
So does that mean that all power would be exported without a consumption CT, or that the house load is there but not visible on the dashboard?
FOXESScloud Dashboard not showing load or grid usage

I’ll need more information - is the Fox cloud showing it as off-line or on-line? - which inverter is it, solar only or hybrid ?
Assuming it’s not got a CT clamp fitted it won’t be able to show grid usage or calculate loads, everything it generates will be output which will cover the house load and any surplus will go to grid.

Hi Dave, It's an F5000-G2 Dual MPPT inverter . Sorry I don't know what you mean by hybrid. It is showing as normal which I guess means online.
It's showing the PV output as the same as what is going to the grid, not surplus which is why I asked about the house load.

Ok yes that’s a solar only a hybrid is solar + battery - unless you fit the optional CT clamp it won’t be able to show you house load, grid import or an accurate export - it will simply show you everything that it has produced.
The CT clamp is relatively in-expensive and simply clamps round the live feed of your smart meter, once it has that measurement it can work out load, import and export.
