Nowt

So as of 11am today, on a lovely bright December day, generation has dropped to zero. Absolute zero. Nada. Nothing. El zilcho.

So after a quick dash back from work and a look around the system, the fault is not apparent. The trip in the fusebox is ok, the isolators are on and the inverter is on. However, the inverter is complaining about having no AC connection. So now we wait for the installers to come back and give the system a hearty kick (later today or early tomorrow).

Interestingly enough, the system has dropped to absolute zero (with no background noise at all on the OWL - it normally reads 0.084kW even at night), which makes me wonder whether the power is not going beyond the generation meter.  

Also the Owl record stops abruptly at 11am, but has three distinct drops to nothing in the previous 30 mins or so, with each drop lasting 5 mins or so.

I'm hoping this is a loose connection in the generation meter, or potentially a meter fault. If it's the inverter, then so be it - but I hate to think how long I might have to wait for a replacement :-(

Time will tell.
