[QUOTE="Barney Rubble, post: 526423, member: 34988"] Hi all, new member, please go easy… As above, I have a 3.5kw installation on an outbuilding roof 25m from the house, connected by 6mm swa. All seems to be working great so far. I have just installed a vue2 monitoring system to see where all that electricity is going. It is indicating that whilst my system is indeed generating, the house is only using (or recording) electricity from the grid. I noted the grid meter (dumb) readings and over 24hours used 14Kw/h. During the same period the solar generation meter indicated10 Kw/h generated. The vue2 indicated that the total usage was 15 Kw/h, with 7 from the grid and 8 from the solar… I was thinking that the grid meter should only indicate the grid usage not the total usage? I have been careful to only switch on major loads (washing machine etc) during the day, when there is a surplus of solar. The various supply figures seem fairly close, I think a check of the voltages at the inverter (higher) and the incoming supply might be the next step? many thanks in anticipation, any advice would be really appreciated.
