    Today, 0.15 Os.

    Since installation Enphase reads 3,506 and the meter reads 3,480.

    From November 2011 my Aurora Inverter reads 2.6% higher than the Gen Meter. I think the shorter the time comparison the larger the difference could be. For instance, I have seen the inverter not cancel out the previous days total and add it to the next day; for accuracy, if that's the right word, I will stick with the GM readings being correct. Even though an extra 2.6% of £5,028.24p would be nice to have ( £130.73p ish)....:beer:..smiley-laughing021.gif

    Afraid it doesn't really matter which one is the more accurate; TGM reading is the one you have to use to claim FIT payments.

    And I thought my 0.1 O would easily win me the wooden spoon....

    Are you not aware of my winter reputation, and my garage full of carved carbon based eating implements?

    My 'no decimal places' TGM may be hiding some generation, but playing by the rules and only counting what the TGM's say, I scored 0.1kWh ...... 0.018 Os, and even that's after rounding up! :o
