[QUOTE="Laxton_Himself, post: 546370, member: 37013"] Hi all, first post on the forum, looking for some help. I’ve had a solar PV and battery setup for around 15 months now. I’ve just had a new smart meter installed by Octopus Energy today, and since the electric has been back on, my inverter shows that the house is using the same wattage as what’s being generated, despite nothing being on. If I try to use more than is being generated, it also doesn’t discharge any of the battery either (see picture). I’m not sure if this is anything to do with the new meter as the excess power should be being exported, but it’s showing as zero. My new smart meter seems to suggest that electricity is being exported, and that I’m not being charged for importing from the grid, but I’m worried that somethings been changed. I’ve done about 3 resets now where everything’s been switched off but it’s still happening. Any ideas? [/QUOTE]
