smappee and solar.

Hi

I have installed my smappee with my solar. Now im not sure if what im seeing is correct. It seems to be adding my generation to my consumption.

For example
Today the solar is generating 1.5Kwh.(Green graph) I know im exporting and not using any great loads. However the smapee is showing just under 3Kwh consumption (grey graph). I would have expected to see the green solar be above the grey consumption when im exporting.

Does anybody have a smappee?
Can anyone explain what I should be seeing?
2.43 from 9 x 270 Trina panels. Samil solar river 2600 inverter. Due South. 30 pitch. East coast of Scotland just North of Forth bridge.

    I've got a Smappee but no solar yet so I don't think I can help. The only thing I do know, from the manual, is that you've got to plug the sensor for the home in to Plug 1 and the one for solar into Plug 2. Other than that, all I can suggest is to contact their support desk, they've been quick and helpful in responding to me in the past.
  • Thanks for the supply GreenBro, it was down to the configuration. I had looked at all the Q and A and couldnt find anything on it. In the end the support set up the solar config.
