question

Hi @wgoldie

How is the PV being monitor is it an energy meter (ET112 or similar) or is it being monitored another way? What number are you expecting it to show?

Hi, thanks for replying. The Solaredge PV set up is not being monitored by the Victron at the moment. I intend fit a Victron current sensor (not CT clamp) and fit that to the PV AC output in the future. The problem is that for some reason the Victron set up now thinks the AC In from the consumer unit is PV generation. I want to get it back to the display showing in 2nd photo above.

That's odd I wasn't aware the system was capable of monitor PV Inverter using the CT clamp. If you're using an energy meter like ET112 you're able to change it's "role" within the settings of the device (Settings-> Energy Meter -> select the meter then select it's role to Grid meter).

Not sure if they've introduced something similar for CT clamp but I've not seen that before.

Is there anything in settings of that PV inverter to change it's role?

This doesnt make sense at all thinking about it. I dont quite understand where the 7k is coming from. As you mentioned there's no connected PV at all. Have you got any device info/further details on the PV Invereter, to try and work out what it actually is.

If you've got no PV installed that the victron system is aware of/has access to then it doesn't make sense that anything is being exported without the battery being drained. Where have you connected the CT clamp? Is it before any PV has been wired in?

Yes it is odd. The PV will be monitored by a Victron Current Sensor, not a CT clamp, but that is in the future.

There is no energy meter installed or showing in the settings. It's obviously something that happened during the unscheduled power down, although that would in effect be like a power cut so shouldn't screw things up. The CT clamp is installed on the incoming meter feed and starts to charge the battery when it shows an export so there is no direct link to the Solar PV Inverter. And during any grid import starts to use the battery, this is all working as I would expect.

Also did a timed charge during the night and that all worked.

Not going to mess about with it today as the sun is shining and the solar is charging the battery.

If the CT is on the incoming grid meter then you'll need to integrate the PV in somehow if the PV is also connected after the grid meter?

Managed to solve the above issue by downloading and then uploading the settings using the Remote VE Configure files. Didn't change anything in them and the spurious PV Inverter disappeared. Possibly the PV Inverter assistant within the settings got confused.

Suspect you are correct. I have since installed a current sensor to monitor the solar and re activated the current sensor assistant. It works well now, although initially it was showing 163w coming from solar during the night. After searching found that it takes 24 hours to calibrate and is now reading accurately.
