Thank you Greenfields and other members for your advice. Our solar system was installed on a business premises during desperate times last year, by a local electrician that claimed to know all about solar installation! We are now learning about this system ourselves as we were certainly conned by his apparent knowledge. The guy also doesn’t take our calls now ! Is there a way to check if a CT coil was installed? We have unticked the boxes as you advised. We have 3 phase which is apparently split between the two inverters.

This is not a prepaid meter

Thanks for helping with advice. My current electrical system is 3 phase so we have 2 8kva Dye inverters with relevant batteries and panels etc. Our escom meter is a Polyphase Energy Meter Type 5219B. Our solar installer set our system up to export excess power to the grid and told us the meter would slow down or reverse? Well, I don’t think this is happening as our electricity bill is averaging slightly more than before we installed the solar. We are only using the escom as a backup during bad weather which isn’t very often. I live in Dullstroom. I would appreciate any advice on this matter. Thank you.

My solar system feeds back to the grid but I am concerned that my meter ( it’s a traditional type) is recording the units as usage as well. My electricity bill is still the same as before the solar was installed. I discovered this issue with a prepaid meter in my small cottage . I would appreciate any advice with this matter. Thanks
