I posted a photo of the manual to see if you have the exact match. They do not use any apps. Data is collected from the inverter and separate energy meter manually. My brother-in-law commissioned the inverter, he is very thorough when checking to see if the street meter shows any negative metering. The owner prefers not to give PEA any net metering evidence and always checks his meter after switching to no export. In the correct manual pins 15 and 16 are CT, pins 5 and 6 are the meter RS485 which is an alternative to using a CT. It would be interesting to see how the table in your manual differs from the table below. Anyway, to avoid complicating the issue with more checks I will leave you in the hands of Sofar.

Small update. User of same model inverter as yours reports zero export when anti reflux is enabled and its power set to zero (2kw strings set independent). He checks this by viewing the street meter and a bi-direction energy meter on the main feed when solar production is greater than house consumption. His display reads Reflux Enable when anti reflux is enabled and goes back to Normal if the CT is disconnected or reversed. There are many variations of firmware inside these inverters often based on the country they were intended for. Having the incorrect manual in the box and the inability to change country code is a red flag. I hope Sofar have not got crossed wires over your inverter type and sent the wrong firmware. The proper factory included manual for this range of inverters is shown below.

Google results can make you crazy - look at this one for 18AWG https://portablepowerguides.com/how-many-amps-can-18-gauge-wire-handle/

You are likely not missing anything and picked up a result that has taken length into consideration. .5 or .75 multi strand cable will suffice for the short length you require. Most PC power connectors have the shared ground (black) doubled up.

There are EV's on the road which are 5-6 years old have clocked 160,000+ kilometres and are still reporting 100% state of health at the battery. Can all manufacturers achieve this result, we have to wait and see.

True and the setting to no export should result in a tiny import of about 10W. The inverter trends on the import side to avoid the meter creeping backwards.

One more question just to be sure I am on the right page. Is this correct? Before the firmware update you could always stop export completely and the meter would not turn backwards when solar production exceeded house consumption.

I have got to be careful what I say here because there are so many firmware variants often country specific. If you are sure the CT wired correctly and you have done a complete restart after enabling reflux then best keep to your plan and contact Sofar again

Is the meter creeping backwards while in this condition?

If CT is wired correctly + anti reflux is enabled + CT mode selected + power set at zero :- The inverter should be derating with no export. Depending on firmware version, the display should say Reflux Derating on the top line and power in watts on the line below Is you goal to prevent any export?

Copy the folder to the flash drive. You will then have a folder on the flash drive named firmware which will contain all of the update files.

End user firmware updates always carry some risk. Local up dates are safest make sure the supply is not interrupted during the process.

Copy the folder to the flash drive.

Because it is possible to lose the inverters ability to read updates if communication is lost at the right moment. This would then require a low level factory flash.

Using clean USB flash drive Unpack firmware file to USB drive Turn off inverter AC + DC Insert flash drive into inverter USB port Turn on DC wait for boot Follow menu update instruction in manual If any file error messages appear during update repeat the process If file errors persist contact Sofar tell them which file is giving error Note - If possible avoid remote online updates from Sofar

Transam, you're just not getting it! Intelligent people buy EV's, us Luddite's are just too dumb to understand the benefits and have no right to an opinion. Strange because this comes from a small group where even the undeniable negatives trigger a state of confusion. There have been several comments about the intelligence of those who post anything negative about EV's. This Luddite would call that scraping the barrel. Enter anonymous confusion bottom right.......

No, but because the poster was not specific a door is left open for a pedantic nit-picking troll. Good news is we can all amuse ourselves why said troll makes feeble attempts to justify it's posts. Stop feeding and they eventually go away.

But better than saying it cant be done. I have done it using strings that are not even on the same plane. Very easy for those who have the ability to collect and manipulate data. I believe there are several on this forum.

Both reference and production array face the same conditions.

Potential output can be calcualted from a known reference. The result can be found using a lookup table or real time calculation.

Not difficult to create a reference and calculate potential capacity. With this continuously varying potential capacity how would you increase consumption to match? To make a prediction one would also need to know the sky conditions and make a calculated guess what the next time window is likely to deliver.

A Norwegian post I believe, the owner is impressed with winter performance.

You mean like this variant lifted from a concise Reddit post.

The cook in sauces can produce very edible results in a short period of time, I have use the British made sauces a lot in the past. I once had the pleasure of visiting a UK curry district where I got spoilt and hooked on the batch style of Indian restaurant cooking and the flavours it creates. Real Indian home style cooking is quite easy but the final result might not please those who are used to the tastes created by restaurant methods. With some help from an old thaivisa member it has taken me some time achieve near BIR standard and the unique taste that comes from base gravy and spices cooked hard in a hot pan. Not everyone has the time or patience but cracking this cooking method can create very authentic restaurant dishes. It all starts with the master time saving shortcut, a base gravy which can be frozen and used when required.
