Hi all, had my system installed today, it did the calabration and had a notificaiton. I can't make sense of the figures and wonder if its normal to be off while it settles in. i've had the house either be over 6kW or most of the day 0W load, exporting to grid a few kW's more than i am generating, the figures are kW's out from each other. I dont know how to add a picture but currently showing after sun set
solar 0W idle, home 0W No Load, Battery 176W Discharging, Grid 2.4kW Exporting

Excellent news.
I wished more people searched before posting. Most of the questions/answers are out there.

SteveCook sometimes it's knowing what to search for. Defo agree with all the WiFi router change questions 🤣

I think I read most of the threads when I first signed up. 🤣

Still asked a question that someone said was elsewhere in the forum 😁

TX200 Its the repeated people asking on the forum how to setup charging and discharging for Octopus Flux that gets me.

Gold star to @Brammers for searching the forum for the issue, but major black mark for his installer in fitting the CT clamp round the wrong way. Eon engineers re-fitted mine the wrong way round when they changed my meter - which I figured out after a day or so - but you'd think the installers should get it right

geoffreycoan mine were fitted by Octopus themselves
They also mis measured my roof and had to drop me from 10 to 8 panels as slightly overhung my neighbour, so 3.2 instead of the 4 I was planning my set up on
