What you will see

  • Warning 401 or Error 306–308
  • House consumption wrong or zero in ShinePhone
  • Export limit not working

Why it happens

The meter or SP-CT tells the inverter what the house uses and exports. A loose cable, meter switched off, CT too far away or wired the wrong way breaks this.
