[QUOTE="devonlad, post: 531886, member: 35387"] Thank you for your interest, and yes I get that - there is a short delay before the inverter reacts to an appliance being turned on or off. What I am saying is, by way of example: PV is generating 1150w according to SolarEdge inverter. All house circuits other than PV and SolicWireless/immersion turned off, so no grid power being consumed (except for a minimal amount to power the wireless sensor). Immersion is calling for power i.e. thermostat closed. Therefore 1150w should be directed to the immersion, and none exported to the grid. Well, the smart meter confirms that power is indeed not being exported. Instead it says that power is being imported and the in-house display shows 270w. Perhaps this means that 1150w + 270w is being fed to the immersion, but the object of this device is to avoid use of grid power. Surely this can't be right. The only thing that varies from then on is that the power imported varies up or down as the PV output goes up or down with the light level. [/QUOTE]
