    Energy is imported from the grid when there is enough generation (battery never got below 70% yet)

    I have on grid system with 2 strings going to dual MPPT inverter and 6kW battery. It usually happens when there is no generation but as seen on the photos below it does happen on occasions when solar production is sufficient to cover the load. Sometimes this trickle of import will add up to 1kW...

    Our solar system was installed 8 years ago. We had no problems until EON replaced our smart meter, and our electricity and gas meters with it. Since then, our PV generation meter has gone mad.

    Is everyone still fitting generation meters? We're installing on a couple of hundred houses and the consumer unit fill we installed in the hallway. We're trying to keep clutter down and the customer has asked why we're installing them if, as he has been told, they're no longer needed? As far...

    Is the Youtube generation helping the trade?

    Recently been watching a few Youtube videos/ blogs of sparks filming their day to day stuff. Just wondering about if this is good thing for the trade? Surely it gives the DIYers some more info on carrying out stuff that should be left to qualified folk.. Any thoughts ?

    Solar tripping double pole rcbo - Generation Meter Issue?

    Any suggestions, all cables are fine, was moved from a single pole rcbo to a double pole yesterday and I think appears to be something to do with the generation meter as this is the only issue in between. Does the system have to be on a single pole rcbo?
