Afternoon guys,

I have a solar installation. The panels and Fox ESS hybrid inverter, Fox Cube batteries, are all installed in the garage. They feed into a mini consumer unit in that building. This in turn is wired, via armoured cable, into it's own MCB in the main house consumer box.
I am required to install a CT clamp, however they suggest that this needs to be in the main house tail. I don't want to trail a wire, either under or over ground.
is there a way around this? The CT is for the DNO, however the Fox app also takes information from it.
Cheers

Alright,

Only option would be to install a wireless transmitter at bother ends. The ones I've used before with Giv and Growatt systems are made by Owen Brothers.
