Understanding flow
I have recently had SunSynk installed in my house. Does the powerflow diagram only shows what the invertor is distributing - i.e power from battery, SV and grid to supply the demand of the house? I ask because when the battery is reasonaly charged flow into the house from inverter is in excess of 3000W and yet when battery is low flow into house is a couple of hundred watts taken from grid. Does this mean that the rest of the power is coming directly from the grid but not registering on the flow chart?
Also even when unoccupied with only couple of usual stuff on standby modes with usual fridge freezer etc..running, the power consumption seems to be enormous. Like mentioned above periodically i can see 3KW + going into the house via the invertor.
I am new to this and appears reasonably complicated
The advantage of 'load' side is that it gives you UPS functionality.
Ideally you want to split the house into essential and non-essential loads so that you maximise the time that lighting and other essential load keep running for during a power outage.
Level of difficulty depends on closeness of the inverter to you consumer unit, ease of adding an extra supply circuit. Best to speak to your installer, or a normal electrician (likely the cheaper option!)
