Just a follow up one clamp would go on the lead/tail coming in from the supplier elec, but the arrow facing the incoming direction, eg towards their meter?

a newer style digital

Ok, but according to Ofgem and smartenergygb you can insist I just want to know when my panels are producing am i using all of it or am i exporting some, i got a monitor on the inverter that tells me how much i am producing, but not if i am using all. Apparently, smart meters tell you when you...

Ovo are refusing a smart meter installation, they are refusing to install one at my place saying we are to rural and it won't work, andI do not know much about them, but I am trying to push for an installation at any rate, as it will help monitor my solar panel and electric consumption, I think...

It was a third-party installation, they did not have enough room on the west side of the house for the 6 so put 2 eastside, ultimately they got to sort it out, but they are dragging their feet to do it. first, there was a problem with one of the connectors. Just looking for tempry solutions...

Garden ones are connected to an off-grid battery invertrter

My garden off grid ones will produce at low voltage, would there be a way temporarily to trick the mppt to start up at the lower voltage as it would surely produce some watts like my off-grid garden ones do.

Yes but was not sure if it applied to each string, or if one string was over that was enough, do you think an optimizer could help?

Hi on my two string inverter I have got two panels at 425watt facing East and four panels facing West should I not get a little bit more wattage at times then 0.7 watt as shown in pv 2? I never got any more than .7 w yet when the sun is due east the four panels facing West get easy 150 Watt I...

The installer is supposed to tell the grid, I assume they would inform our supplier. we have a heat pump and the immersion heater is on a timer so would a diverter work with that?

I have got a puzzle which somebody might be able to help with. my utility main Meter has been flashing what it says on the picture one minute it shows the numbers of units used one minute it shows what could be feed, it flashes so fast it's difficult to say what exactly it says, it only started...

Hi Has anybody used these Wifi energy metering monitoring clamps before? How accurate are they? Are they easy to install? I like to monitor the power consumption of my heat pump. Thanks

It is frustrating when you get told one thing and the it is not, eg was told would cycle through 2 figures import and export. As long as it tell me so what I generate and the system uses what I generate when I need it and not only give it back to the grid that's fine.

Apparently, it has the cables coming i from the inverter but also to the grid "cable so again if you generate more than you use you supposed to be able to see what you are exporting, as it is tied into the grid. Since posting I found this out, as far as I can tell from what I have been reading...

Hi i got an Emlite eca2 generation meter and it is supposed to tell me how much my panels generate but, it always just shows the import figures, which I believe is the grid electricity coming in, and not cycling through the display, is it not programmed right? How do you read it to know what I...

Thanks every one now working, faulty mc4 plug

Hi, i thought the 4 facing west should produce something, after all, they are 425 watts each. The strange thing is as well that PV1 never goes above 5 volts even on a sunny day so not knowing which has only the 2 on I would have thought even if it is the string with only 2 panels it should go...

2 face east 4 west

Third-party which guaranteed if it was not working when the weather improves they would sort it. It had to be split as no room on the roof so some face east and some face west hence they put this one in as it had dual mppt input.

yes but hardly any voltage, one set is east one west. i think it is working so, but just needs higher voltage, the blinking light was a confusing one as it is not blinking as described. I deal only in black and white or absolutes. Thanks
