Which council are you with?
If at the City of Cape Town, then you probably ticked the wrong box during your application.
No, they don't trip, but CoCT will charge you R10k for the replacement. (More if three phase, etc.)
Goodwe has two, three if you count historical, apps.
One for local use only (EZManage rebranded to PV Master) and one for online access (SEMS Portal).
Sign up on SEMS Portal and register your machine and you can access remotely and change some settings.
