    SJB got a reaction from Jacques Ester in New here and already help needed please   
    Hi *, I did the jump to solar and the system was installed 5 days ago. 
    After reading a lot of posts on this forum, I've got so many questions but I think first my setup
    deye 5kw
    shoto 5.12kw
    panels 4.1kw
    will upgrade next year
    The thing that confuses me the most is the essential and non essential wiring, I've got my geyser(3kw kwitot with geyserwise) and stove on non essential with the rest on essential. The geyser is set to run at 11am to 12. I can see on the deye that when the microwave is used it consumes from the panels, with only a load of about 500watt I switch the geyser on but the deye doesn't show any consumption from the panels at all.
    I had a long stare at the db, the CT is before the main breaker with the arrow pointing towards it.
    There's 2 live and 2 neutral wires coming from the inverter.
    The one pair is on the main breaker output going to the inverter while the other pair comes back and is connected to the top of the earth leakage breaker which then goes to the top of the plugs and lights breakers.
    The stove and geyser wires comes directly from the output of the main breaker without going through the earth leakage.
    So how does the deye know what is on the non essential circuit if there's no wires connected to it and how will it feed access power from the panels
    I'm attaching my DB layout, I hope it makes sense
    yes I know it's a rats nest, will have to get my electrician out to make it neat😀
