    Managed a respectable 9.22 kw or 2.25 O's


    Oddly though I was expecting better as the output monitor was reporting nearly 3.5kw and exporting nearly all of it.


    Sooner I fit the storage heater the better.

    So another day of zeros. Its became evident I have a problem.
    Tried powering down then up again and no change. The only difference I can see is the red led on the TGM is on constantly.
    Any thoughts appreciated?! Cheers.

    I am no expert, not wishing to state the obvious; if the light is on constantly on the TGM that shows it is getting some AC power to light it. Can you read from your inverter what power it should be getting from your panels. It must be getting something for the red light to be on your TGM. With mine, when the inverter hits a zero output the red light comes on the TGM, then, when the inverter finally shuts off, so the red light goes off on TGM.

    Possible I guess, again you have to measure somehow, if and what is arriving at the inverter, I would think something is, to power up the red light on the TGM. Sorry, just my best thoughts....:(
