i have the same app - but mine just shows solar >>>>>>inverter>>>>>grid and how much is being produced. i dont have batteries and no ct clamps monitoring usage

Speak to your installer pretty sure you should have one on at least the inbound feed, you may not need one on your PV generation as that goes straight into your Inverter, mine doesn't as I have a separate inverter for the PV to the batteries.

so yours is AC coupled to the battery

This is basically all mine shows me - it doesnt split it between usage and export

Yes, PV to one inverter, then another which is connected to the battery, both are then teed back into the house supply between the meter & the CU.

ok - so i have now found out how to display it on my smart meter which is good

We have generated 49kwh so far and exported 27kwh .......so on the octopus outgoing plan i would have 27x0.15= £4.05 towards my leccy bill

You mean the display not the meter itself?

3.87kWh from the solar for us today and 1.7 off to the grid. Better than I expected. Been running off the battery since about 2:15 though.

 

[Deleted member 26715]

We ended at 4.6kWh, but the battery in now 10% so all the current 0.48kW is coming from the grid

8.9kWh today battery got to 53%, down to 39% now so we will be importing from later tonight.
