SOLVED!!! Thank you @Adam_151, @Why Not Indeed, @DetlefSchmitz ! Moving the CT between the meter and junction box lets the inverter see real consumption and use instead of storing to battery when needed. Thank you again, very much appreciated!

Thanks, that makes sense... I suppose it was until the junction box was added, and then it placed on the wrong side. Is this something I can unclip and move, or does it need an electrician?

Is that the current transformer the thing in the pic below? The cable runs from a port in the inverter for current transformer and this widget is around the live cable to consumer unit 1 as it leaves the junction box.

I have solarman app connected to the inverter. It doesn’t ‘see’ any consumption on consumer unit 2, but it gives consumption on 1, generation, battery, and export. When I first looked it said generating 3.02kw, send 1.58kw to battery as below. At the same time, my smart meter said I was...

Sorry, I was trying to keep it simple

This is a fantastic analogy, thank you! Makesnit a lot clearer. It’s a “double pole connector block” https://www.ccmsupplies.co.uk/100a-double-pole-connector-block.html, but sounds like basically a kind of tube that should let the electricity across. The battery hangs off the inverter as you...

Thanks @DetlefSchmitz. That’s my error on the labels. It’s weird though, the battery is full, but when I use anything on the second consumer unit my smart meter says it’s coming from the grid

Hi, sorry to resurrect this thread but I have this same situation and it seems like the second consumer unit is bypassing the solar and only using mains power. Solar was already connected when the second consumer unit was added, and the electrician who did wasn't sure whether it would work or...
