Two months (*) after the PV installation, ERDF (in fact private electricians mandated by them) came to install different counters :
Above from right to left :
- my consumption counter owned by EDF, not connected to the PV installation
- my selling counter owned by ERDF, with the telereport box on its right so they can ask the counters from the street
- my consumption counter owned by ERDF, with the main switch on its right
Under is a big box with big fuses inside. On that box is written 200A/60A.
(*) It seams that in my region half people installed during the 3 months before my installation are always not connected... so I will not complain about this 2 months delay.
Then Friday the inverter got connected to ERDF's system
and after a few minutes to pass the initial auto-configuration, the inverter was producing some electricity
(sorry for the poor quality of this photo)
Puissance sortie = Power out
The green LED and the 8 LED on its right are lighten proportionally to the production. At that moment only 265 W was produced, while the installation's nominal production is 3 kW, so only one LED was lit.
On the left of the green LED is a red LED which means the inverter isn't producing electricity when it's lit.
Here are more photos with captions :
Album: connection in high resolution.
Next, the first figures...
