Yeah what's also weird is in both your screenshots your battery should be charging with the surplus solar and it's showing that it's not.
I’ve no battery on this
I agree that something isn't right, but if the CT was reversed, it would see the grid export (going on the arrow direction) as import.
Good news is that it doesn't effect anything other than your household energy monitoring.
Do you have a smart meter? The ESBN website will show what your meter is reading
I've heard of CT not properly clipped closed giving bad readings.
hi yes I monitored smart meter yesterday for an hour and figures didn’t match with app. I’ve had a look for the CT clip near thr inverter but will keep looking/googling. Might log a call with solis
That's what I would have thought also and this was the arguement myself and my Dad constantly had when I was trying to tell him something wasn't right, but you can see the grid shows below the horizontal axis in the shots from the same days but is constantly under the X axis (importing), both before and after
Might be best to move to troubleshooting thread?
It will be either in your consumer unit(fusebox) or meterbox
This look like the CT in the meter box, so it will be ESB I'll ask to swap round
up to 21kw today generated but hard to tell if true now till I get my account setup for the smart meter with ESB
No. Did you not google search as to what a "CT CLAMP" looks like 🤔
I’ve looked at all points of the system and that’s closest thing to a CT, no need to get smart
It's probably hidden in the consumer unit (fuse box) in that case. Might be time to contact the installer.
That is the main ESB fuse, and is absolutely nothing like a CT clamp.
And if you search for "CT clamp" you get pages of the same type of thing. It's totally recognisable.
It LOOPS AROUND the incoming grid live cable, at the meter or at the fuseboard
Chillax. 😀
Alight bud, keep ur specs on, it said ctr on the outside, I wasnt looking to write a thesis on it
For reference, this is what it looks like.
Guys, as a lot of you would know you won't see a ct clamp in a consumer unit unless you remove the front cover once you open the door, which I think in the Republic is ilegal to do unless you are a certifited electrician.
Hi, just wondering if anyone gets an annual service?
Can't see why you would myself, as in it's not like a gas boiler which has regular checks due to risks of gas leaks, carbon monoxide poisoning, and potential fires etc.
The reason it has come up for me, is installer has recommended changing the breaker from 30ma to 100ma, and can do this as part of service (Quoted €210)
Unless you have tripping issues, there's no need.
Nothing needs servicing, if you need something upgraded though that's different but be sure to ask here if its actually needed or if someone's taking the piss.
Yeah it's due to tripping issues. To be fair they have engaged with Solis, had various firmware updates etc and even swapped out the inverter (all under warranty). Mentioned, new changes to regs, means they can now put in 100ma which will resolve the tripping
This is true, if you're having issues then this is the remedy.
If it's just swapping the breaker, ok to go with my own electrician or would you recommend still going through the installer
Any REC can do that. Cert 3 required on completion.
Cheers
Meant to ask, is €210 a fair price to swap the breaker?
What is the installer saying they will do in the "service" ?
50-70 quid for Rcbo and cert. About 40 minutes to do the job including testing ,writing out the cert, etc. Excluding any travel time. A little on the high side, but not outlandish.
Mentioned I didn't need the service, said same call out charge regardless
