It is now pushing power from solar and battery to the non-essential loads, without the “Sol exp bat full” setting, and after some more testing yesterday that setting was tripping my Conlog meter almost immediately. I’m now having the issue that the feedback from oven switching on/off is tripping my meter 😕 I have Zero Export Power set at 40W, but it’s still doing it. When watching the system flow page while the oven is at temperature and the element switching on/off, I can see sometimes upwards of -1000W going into the grid, which is surely going to cause issues. It’s annoying because I can’t have the grid switch off and turn the oven off while I’m trying to cook something, so the non-essential feedback might be dead in the water. Is it possible that if I put my geyser on the AUX it will be able to absorb the feedback? Anyone else having these Conlog tripping issues? Do I just need to set that Zero Export power higher? Would prefer not to waste 2.4kWh a day just to keep the oven from tripping. Anyone had any luck with convincing the municipality to give the token to turn off reverse flow detection? Hi Logan, from this last post I take it that you were not able to resolve this issue. I have a similar issue and have been told by the installer that the Sunsynk inverter cannot export solar energy whilst ensuring that none escapes to the "GRID" on the street. So I will always have a chance of a reverse flow. My prepaid meter is setup to count reverse flow and deduct credits as a tamper-proof measure. We are running more tests tomorrow, however the only known solution is to apply to Ethekwini for a bi-directional meter. For now we have moved my geyser onto my essential circuit, and via geyser timer and inverter timer I have set it to heat using grid in the early morning and then heat using available solar (on essential) during the day. Let me know if you want to hear more of how this turns out.
