Renewables: "talking 'bout my generation"

. . . . . The two solar clamps are fitted to the live wire between the solar isolator and inverter side of the meter.

I gather that setup does include the 'easifit' cable.

However, one point from the Aussie film might be relevant : the chap urged special care to keep clamps as widely separated as possible just in case any cross contamination occurred.

Thank you, Eric. In earlier posting on this board I asked other posters whether the Easifit cables on the solar circuitry should be separated. It was thought that it made no difference. I think that I have about six inches of play. I'm going to do that now.

FWIW, I really wouldn't have thought it made all that much difference. Or at least providing clamps are a couple of inches apart I wouldn't expect any interference; moving them six feet apart would be complete overkill. Perhaps having clamps an inch or so apart might have a (very) small effect.

Given that those sorts of clamps are known not to be very accurate, I'm a lot happier with using just two of them than I would be having a third. But even so, I still get a few spurious readings.

13.5 Kw today giving me a Hawaii .5.

Merlin139

3.73 O's (14.84 kWh)

Naff day with a little sun peaked at 2.999 kWh

Up to 89% of Estimate. Looking at around 108.5 % for the month end. No doubt as I have said tha I will not make 100% :rotfl:

Sterling did say 6" not 6 ft. :rotfl:
Mine are only 20mm apart on the Gen input cable; but I don't get any 'spurious' readings....:o;)

Managed to creep 2% over PVGIS today; but only managed 3.24 O's...

Poor day on my SSW with just under 2 O's, although(without checking) my WNW should have faired a little better with a good late surge of bright sunshine. Hopefully a good day to come tomorrow.....we shall see(don't blame me if it's not)

2.04 O's poor bank holiday Monday

No sign of the sun still in Staffordshire.

The inverters refused to switch off until 21.24. But it has been a poor day at 2.44 Os. I am hoping that I have improved my Wattson installation. Hoping for no spurious overnight readings. Thank you to everyone who has offered suggestions.
