I'm just posting to say I'm still battling on, just not had much development since my last post. My system seems to be working OK overall. "Seems" because I can't get a set of readings to obey Kirchhoff's first law. I've ordered another smart meter to put in line from the inverter to my ho...

Good morning all, I've had a cold since yesterday, so I'm only firing on 2 cylinders :cry: I attach a picture of my Easton as it is now. To minimise wire bending I installed it horizontal rather than vertical, but it's actually easier to read that way. Here's a puzzle. I cut the wire from my "A...

Success! well, partly :) I had useful emails with Eastron yesterday. Initially they said my meter could have this output reversed, but I couldn't follow their instructions on how to do that. Eventually I had to send them a video of me trying to alter its setup and they then realised that my model of...

I aren't even going to try and figure out the setting - I'll leave that to the others :D The only thing that occurred to me was that your meter is reading negative on import and that you have the grid supply going in the bottom meter terminals and the feed to the henley blocks (and the house) comin...

I've had a read of the manual which is not great. I'm not convinced the battery will output back feeding onto the "AC In" connection at all, it might only output onto the "AC Out" connection. I'm not 100% sure though. The only info I can see about the Eastron energy meter is at ...

Ah, I see that the Eastron smart meter connects back to the inverter for import/export readings. Can you confirm that this communication is working correctly? You say the middle part shows AC output but wouldn't this just show a load if something is connected to the AC output connector? The manual ...

How does the inverter measure import/export as you don't show any CT clamps that connect back to the inverter? On its own, the inverter doesn't seem to have the facility to measure import/export current. If you look at my pictures of the panel, it's in 4 groups. Top shows the batteries being charge...

Further to that, I noticed that with the kettle on, the inverter was still only showing an export (I think) of 600W. The kettle was getting its power from the grid. However I thought it was supposed to supply first from PV, then batteries, and finally grid. The batteries are 100% charged, and I'm ge...

Further to that, I noticed that whilst the kettle was on, it was getting its power from the grid. The inverter was exporting (I think) about 600W according to the Owl clamp meter, it didn't go up in response to the kettle. The batteries are fully charged and I'm getting 300v from the panels, and as ...

My billing smart meter doesn't give me a flowrate either, but the Eastron is showing about - (minus) 500W. I hope that means import, as the inverter is set to no export (see next post) and SPE haven't given me permission to export yet! Turn on a high load like a kettle / toaster and see what change...
