Second enquiry, just had a battery system installed and the existing Solar IBoost + is not working as it should do and assumed there is some sort of conflict happening when installed the CT clamps are side by side i.e battery and IBoost could that cause an issue? but I notice that on the set up of the IBoost an area that states battery storage of which is set at 100w (default setting) the question is should that be altered and increased accordingly? the instructions are extremely poor to say the least so any views or thoughts would be much appreciated.

An on one final issue is the system mode settings, on the charge mode I have set to Solar and Grid, great works well but on the discharge settings they are set to dynamic not scheduled would there be any advantage in setting times in this area?

Sorry for the questions but I would really appreciate advice on this for a newbie

I had problems with my iBoost if the CT clamp was side-by-side with another clamp. I ended up moving it out into the meter box.

I have my threshold set at 200W and that seems to work well.

Many thanks for the reply but a bit confused you say you moved the CT clamp I sssume that' the IBoost clamp but out of the meter box, my clamp is situated between the smart meter live to the consumer unit

Perhaps you would be kind enough to advise
