Hi MTV, I still cant see what inverter you are referring to. Please post a link or a picture of the inverter in question. EDIT: You can just give us the brand and model number as well. My Bad, I see it in the name of the thread, I have never seen that name, so it did not ring a bell. Theia 4.4HE-T
August 30, 20188 yr Okay, found the Manual , but still going through it. Manuel was issued in 2013. (Was there any grid feedback inverters available by that time?) EDIT: In the set up part I can not find any setting that relates to that.

By the looks of it it is a grid-tied unit, so the answer seems to be no by definition. I don't see any facility that would allow grid-limiting (to avoid feed-in), in case that is what you want to know.
August 30, 20188 yr If it is SA based, here is some specs: http://www.rectifier.co.za/Eltek/solar/THEIA HE-t.pdf Is the installation CoCT? Is it on their lists?
August 30, 20188 yr This is directly from the manual. "Automatic System The system is fully automatic. The inverter starts up in the morning when the solar array generates enough power. During the day the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) function ensures the highest possible energy harvest from the PV panels. The inverter goes into ‘sleep’ mode at dusk when the solar array stops generating power, ready to automatically start-up again in the morning." So it seems you have a 5 hour commissioning period in witch to chose your Grid Code for your Area and then for the Grid code you have these settings. After that nothing more you can really do.

September 4, 20188 yr Author Hi Jaco, I sourced at different forums and this inverter is not able to isolate excess power feeding to the grid. I'm in South Africa and we may not feed solar generated power to the grid. Thank you again.
