[QUOTE="Rigger, post: 388498, member: 25950"] Have been monitoring the import/export meter against what the Enphase system has been saying has been generated. Clamp orientation was correct - 100%, but out of interest, I turned it round - the wrong way according to the OWL manual, and hey presto - got correct readings. Waiting to see how OWL support comment on this one! @ KME - As for the meter being changed out - Power NI wouldn't touch the system unless there was a certified import/export meter so that OfGen could then verify that ROCS payments could be made. For some reason - N' Ireland has different set up to rest of UK. Didn't help that I was offshore also for extended period of time. I've only been home 7 weeks this year! I realise the short-comings with the OWL system, but it does let me check how my system is doing from anywhere around the world. I'm also using it as a guide - not a definite gauge. I also compare it with the Enphase system, which is slightly more accurate - again I can do this online from anywhere. Others have said to get other systems - not now - the owl system is bought and installed. Not perfect - granted - but it serves a purpose as a indication of what my system is doing. Have also checked wiring as far as visually possible with import/export meter - Landis+Gyr E110 - 5235A. Wiring diagram on internet looks quite basic, and appears to be correct. Next step is to find out final readings of old meter from NIE, and make sure that Power NI have adjusted for that. [/QUOTE]
