Update. Had NIE call, and we discussed usage.  First thing he asks is do I have Solar iBoost fitted to the thermal store.  I do.   He then asks if I turned the clamp round - was fitted wrong way round previously - I said i had.  Fella from NIE says that was the problem.  He even could tell me...

Back in a few day - parents over visiting. Thanks for help and info so far!

Pic of my meter. If I'm reading the text that was put up earlier, then it seems Power NI have been charging me for the 'T' Total readings. Take off the 500 odd exported from the 1700 odd imported, and the figures start to look a lot better. 1200 kW at 17.18p per kW = £216.  Thats before...

Don't have dropbox or the likes - is there not an option to upload a photo from HDD, rather than using URL? Something I noted in those notes Barx - T means it is totalling the import and export readings!  R means reverse reading - export. Will be talking to Power NI tomorrow again, to make...

Ok - for clarification. I have two digital meters. One is a Yong Tai Long M12 digital meter for reading the generation straight off the the inverter tie-in from the PV array. At the other side is the Landis + Gyr E110 5235A meter that has been configured to give two readings - t for import...

Sorry guys - wasn't meaning to offend at all, just a bit of light banter - came across wrong - sorry again. Will use icons a bit more;) I've been onto NIE and Power NI about both meters (is it likely that the old analogue meter would count up import and export?) NIE assure me that the meter is...

Blinky - that's the wrong meter.  You've put up the E100.  Mine is the E110.  Small difference, but it's enough.   Mine is in the link below. http://www.test-meter.co.uk/landis-and-gyr-e110-electricity-meter/ Noz, I may well have used that extra kW's.  I've been racking my head, and I've...

Barx - True. Although I am considering getting NIE out to check the wiring and configuration of the meter Blinky - my terminology is correct.  I've got two digital meters - one generation - straight off the PV array - and the inverters are on the roof below each panel - Enphase Micro Inverters...

Just got FIFA 16 (early on the Black market) and I have to say it is incredibly realistic. As soon as I put the disk it says "Game is corrupt", but after that it keeps going as usual anyway.

How old is the DVD player?  Less than  year old, get a direct replacement as it will be under guarantee. If less than 5 years in Scotland, and 6 years England and Wales you are covered by SOGA. Sale Of Goods Act. You may have to go small claims court.  Sounds excessive? You may also need a...

3 Meggers blowing up? Crikey - we use them constantly offshore (including the big 5KVA bad boy megger IR checker) checking subsea cables fitted to ROV when back on deck - In the North Sea, and yes in bad weather. What did you do to blow up 3 meggers? Anyways - I'm up for (trying to) winning...

Barx,  good info, but how can I prove it. Import Export meter is a Landis+Gyr E110 - 5235A. Import (t) is showing 1590 Kw and Export ® is showing 506kW.  This meter was installed at the end of March. Power NI - my electricity supplier - would not accept readings from a analogue meter. They...

Well, regardless of the result, I'll stick with the OWL for reasons stated before - ie working offshore, and being able to monitor what is happening at home. Still, will be experimenting with clamp positions and orientations to ensure best accuracy. We use PT and CT clamps on our high voltage...

Yeah - did that today. System generated 8kW/h today. That was checked on generation meter. Next to import/export meter.  Export has risen by 5kW, and import has risen by only 1kW.  I'm thinking this proves the clamps were at fault, though still waiting for OWL to get back to me on this.  I've...

Have been monitoring the import/export meter against what the Enphase system has been saying has been generated. Clamp orientation was correct - 100%, but out of interest, I turned it round - the wrong way according to the OWL manual, and hey presto - got correct readings. Waiting to see how...

Will do.  Nice and sunny at moment.

Clamps checked for orientation - 100% correct. Even Power NI admitted that the usage was high, since Dec. So - either installer has wired soething incorrectly, or new digi meter installed by NIE is also incorrectly installed.  Unlikely, as everything else seems to be working fine.

I've checked the orientation of the clamps already.  I'm 90% sure I've got them the right way. I'll go out and check again though. Oh - more info. There was initially an old analogue meter in place, which was changed out at the end of March for a digi import/export meter. NIE really were...

16 years as a Mechanical Hydraulic Engineering Tech from aviation background.  Now working 8+ years on ROV's with 3000Vac /3 phase - input of 440Vac at 250A from rig or ship, down to single phase 12Vdc.  Did some basic courses in electrics during training for ROV's, but have learnt a lot more in...

I've currently got a 4kW PV array on my roof, which is at 165 degrees from North, so only 15 degrees of South - happy enough - no shading issues Panels are 16 Sunmodule SW250 Mono Black, and each panel has it's own Enphase M250 micro inverter. This feeds into a single digital generation meter...
