mismatched readings
Posted: Fri Aug 01, 2025 10:17 am
Hi All,
We have a Fox H1-3.7-E-G2 inverter with a Fox EP11 and a Fox L07PC Car charger & 4.5Kw of Panels
We have noticed a few mismatches on what out octopus mini shows us is happening grid side, with what the inverter says is happening.
for instance this morning, the battery was full, the inverter said we were generating 2.274Kw, using 1.975Kw and exporting 0.299Kw, at the same time our smart meter was recording that we were exporting 1.733Kw, and as none was at home there would just be our base load of a bout 350w'ish

I have checked that the CT clamp has the arrow pointing to the grid (and it does).
This causes problems with the car charger sometimes as it is set to use surplus to charge the car, but it never thinks there is enough.
Which has meant i have had to disable the solar linkage, and set a forced charge time on the battery, so that the car will charge from the grid, not the battery.
Any help greatly apreciated.
Stuart.
