What you will see

  • A short export indication after a large load switches off.
  • An isolated point in the cloud graph.
  • Repeated or sustained export during normal operation.
  • A change after meter, current-transformer or controller work.

Why it happens

Solis explains that control response takes time after load changes and that monitoring can capture a transient export condition. Its guidance also stresses correct meter and current-transformer installation for monitoring and control.

A transient explanation should not be used to dismiss persistent export. The installer should verify the measurement arrangement, controller status, configured objective and behaviour under the site’s operating conditions.

If an export restriction is part of the site’s agreement, provide that requirement for the review. Equipment capability and the agreed acceptance criteria must be assessed together.

Transient or persistent?

Short blip

A large load switches off. Control takes a moment.

Repeated or sustained

Check meter, CT and controller setup.

A transient explanation does not dismiss persistent export.

Solis explains control response time. Applies to Solis, GoodWe, Growatt and Huawei export controls.

What you can check yourself

  • Save the full graph and the event timestamp.
  • Note whether a major load changed at that time.
  • Record any meter or communication alarm.
  • Gather the commissioning record and relevant export requirement.
  • Distinguish an instantaneous power reading from accumulated exported energy. They answer different questions about the event.

What not to do

  • Do not disable control, reverse a current transformer or change grid protection. Do not assume that a small recorded export is automatically permitted. Avoid deliberately cycling large loads to test compliance yourself.

When to call us

  • Request review for sustained export, repeated control alarms or uncertainty about the system’s performance against the agreed restriction.
