Help understanding Solar Panel inverter information

6 Posts

Hi
We have just had an install carried out via a local authority grant for 10 x solar panels and a Fox ESS F3000 inverter.
Nothing really has been explained to us through the process and I've just discovered that the inverter has an app where I can follow our usage etc.
Now looking at the graph and power flow on the app, to me it looks like any power generated is going straight to the grid.. or am I looking at this wrong?
The panels have been installed for approximately 3 weeks but the inverter has only been connected up in the past hour, so am I jumping the gun and should let it settle first?

It will be used firstly by any house loads then any extra will flow back into the grid.
If it breaks, well it wasn't working right anyway.
Other than data collection, they don't give you any appreciable benefit.
He did say a battery would cost roughly £4500. Didn’t get any info on size of battery etc. or whether it included the hybrid inverter, but at that price il see what my savings are first
