pv inverter on multiplus ac out

i have a pv gti connected to the multiplus out, when the pv inverter is generating power the ac load (on ccgx) goes to zero but it doesn't seem to be charging the batteries, is it actually charging but not registering in ccgx?

i have, and i have setup the pv inverter assistant, but i don't have the pv inverter networked (i guess it should connect to the ccgx?) and was wondering if you would get a visual representation in ccgx of the power backfeeding through the multiplus?

Thanks again.

To see the AC PV production on the CCGX, you will need to use an Energy Meter (such as this), Unless it is a Froniua, SMA, Solaredge or one of the other data compatible inverters.

ok, so i won't see the power flowing back through the system like i do when i use a backup generator on "ac in 1" ?

I'm really bothered about seeing it, i was just curious.


Thanks
