Solaredge Consumption Meter - display problem on dashboard

[ButchDeal]

Feed in + purchased is NET. This is likely what you have physically wired if PV is in the MSP as stated.

The only possibility I see is that I need to configure it as feed in + purchased, which reads out in the portal as 2 separate meters. I think what this does is make the meter output phase A and B separately. A previous poster recommended this configuration, but it does not make sense to me logically. Thanks for your help with troubleshooting.

Ok so if you do have line side tap and the CTs are closer to the MSP then it is consumption. but that doesn't seem to match the graph.
I don't know what you mean by " except with back feed breakers" as that would imply no line side tap.

[eah123]

The inverter is not connected in the MSP except with backfed breakers. I believe the main connection is outside of the MSP ( between MSP and the utility co's Net meter.)

[ButchDeal]

Yes if the CTs are on the grid side of the MSP and your inverter is connected in the MSP then it is net not consumption. If you have a line side tap then it would be consumption but that wouldn't fit the graph.

[eah123]

I can see that the graph looks that way, however my CTs are over my 2 incoming hot wires and the meter is set to consumption in the inverter. Should it be set to something else?

[ButchDeal]

That does not look like consumption. It looks like feed in but configured as consumption. I beleive your meeter is configured incorrectly here.

[eah123]

Well, I guess OP is no longer active. I have the opposite problem - my night time consumption is not detected.

Just wondering if this was ever resolved. I just installed my system in March 2016, and am trying to get consumption monitoring work. SolarEdge seems to think it should work, currently it is not connected correctly, and am having that fixed. Hoping that this does work in the US. I am in So California.
I would like to be able to see this on the monitoring site. According to SolarEdge, it should look like this picture. See attached....

Malibu,
I have a Solaredge 7600 and am thinking of purchasing the CCS Wattnode Modbus consumption meter to hook up to my system. Have you had any luck with getting your consumption monitor working?

I am the original poster. I just came back to this thread to see if there had been any resolution. Unfortunately, it seems the answer is NO - I do not see self-consumption on any of my dashboards (the web portal or on the mobile apps, now that they show consumption).

- Is there a configuration setting somewhere on the inverter?
- In the original discussion, it seemed that it was a problem on the solaredge side - that their calculation (in the US only) didn't account for self-consumption... though people with residential systems elsewhere in world report it shows correctly.

Frustrating...

Here's what I currently see:

clearly the red is NET with the negative clipped, and not consumption as it should be.

My guess is the green is solar production. Red is the meter running into the house (consumption). You're not getting blue readings (how much of meter is used internally) makes me wonder if the inverter is reporting production (and modulator does simple math on what it's sending out minus the production).

At least you have something. My installer connected the consumption meter wrong, so I have no history or graphs of any kind. Now I have to contact SolarEdge direct, get my login changed so I have full access, and then rewire the correct way. If I can figure it out. I'm frustrated that my installer made promises and then just left me to fend for myself. But I suppose I was naive to assume they would do all they said.

Thanks for the explanation BD. So will we be able to control that from Solaredge's control panel to allow times of charge and discharge of the battery? With only 7khW and an existing 3.8kw inverter, we'd have to be careful on the discharge usage during the shift times of our TOU. Would be great to recharge the battery at super off peak times too.

We may actually dive into the powerwall afterall!

you can controll the times with the inverter. However in the US ONLY the SE7600 supports upgrade to StorEdge, so the SE3800 you have will not work with the Powerwall.
