[QUOTE="SolarSpark, post: 541157, member: 36240"] Hi, the Solax non-hybrid inverters are supplied without a CT clamp which is why your installer won't have installed one. The CT clamp is required for hybrid installations to measure the power being drawn from, or discharged to, the grid and then to supply it from, or send it to, the battery. Installing a CT clamp would show you how much energy is being used in the property and how this is being offset by solar production. In response to your questions; The generation meter is required under MCS regulations to register the installation (this is done against the serial number of the generation meter and is a throwback from when feed-in tariffs were offered as an incentive and any power generated was recompensed). Standard, non-hybrid Solax inverters are supplied as standard without CT clamps If you are getting your own CT clamps, the only reason to bother with the Solax App would be that it would let you know if there is an issue with the inverter. This may be useful if it is located in a place that is out of sight such as the attic. I hope this helps! Alan [/QUOTE]
