• Make sure your PV is on, and your battery circuit is off. Then, select the appropriate checkboxes.

Check for Issues:

• The wizard will alert you if there’s a problem with your CT installation, such as a negative reading or load imbalance.

• Resolve any issues, then tap Next.

Verify PV Production:

• To ensure accurate readings, turn off your PV and select the appropriate checkbox. Your readings should drop close to zero.

• Once the production readings look good, tap Enable Production Meter.
