HI Guys The solar export tick makes no difference. I have tried just about everything. I have not installed this one myself, but did the previous one. So I can remove stuff and test. By isolating the non essentials, I opened their breakers, so they are physically not in the circuit. Thanks Attie

HI Guys Thanks for all the replies. Here are some pics I took yesterday afternoon. So the essentials are pulling 597 W The battery is delivering 1766W The sun is giving 465 1536W is dumped to the non essentials which were disconnected at the time. The CT clamp is around the incoming red wire which I suppose is live. Regards Attie

HI Guys Thanks for all the replies. So yes my non essentials are on the grid side. So if I switch off the Eskom incoming, then it recognizes no grid and only supply the essentials. So this correct. I only have 2 geyser and the stove on the grid side. So if I switch those breakers off, it means there is now no grid side load. The inverter then still shows on the flow diagram power flowing to the little house next to the power lines. I changed nothing when the new inverter was installed, did not move the CT coil or nothing. Just installed the new inverter, so the only possibility for error regarding the CT coil is wires wrong way round. I have a prepaid meter and it does not complain or anything when I export to the grid. With the old inverter, you could clearly see that the grid side loads absorbing power or not as the trip switches to those loads were opened and closed. Here I see nothing. Regards Attie

Yes, I inverted the wires and then the ct value went negative. The CT value however now stays zero the whole time and I cant remember if this is correct.

HI I had a Synsynk 8 for about 15 months and then got a direct lightning hit on the lamp pole outside the house which took it out. I was absolutely satisfied with the old one and it did everything as expected. Got a new one now and things are funny. I have split the loads into essential and non essential. Essential on the UPS side and non essential on the grid side. The problem is that the power does not add up. Often the sun would provide say 3kw. The essential would take 1 kw and the battery is full so 2kw is available to non essential and the flow diagram shows the 2 kw flowing to non-essential. The problem is when all non essential loads are disconnected, it still shows the 2kw flowing to them. So where is this power going. I have clicked to the zero export, so nothing is suppose to flow to the grid. The end results is that during the day all the available power is used and my usage curve follows the production curve exactly. The exact same setup worked perfectly with my previous unit. I have not done the ground/neutral bond. Regards Attie

Hi Youda How are your Infini 5kw inverters holding up. I see some negative comments regarding them in other threads. I am considering upgrading to it from my infini 3 plus which has just been outstanding over the last three years. Seems that they have problems in the coastal areas. so I was wondering about your experience. Thanks Attie
