Generation tariff
Your
Solo II PV
will start to show your energy generation as
soon as it’s installed. To get the most out of your display you’ll
need to enter your tariff.
About your generation tariff
Your utility will provide you with a generation tariff (also known
as ‘feed-in-tariff’ or ‘FIT’) and also tell you whether you have any
other payments as part of this tariff.
The

shows a calculated approximation of earnings
from your PV array based on the configured generation tariff.
Calculated earnings do not include any other payments made
as part of your generation tariff.

to your utility - always take readings directly from the

Troubleshooting
My display is not showing any information
This could be because your display is out of range and is not
communicating with the transmitter / meter.
The signal strength to the transmitter is shown on the top left
of the display. The more bars shown, the better the signal and
performance of the display.
Try moving your display closer to the transmitter and meter. If
problems persist, please refer to our website.
My display is blank or has switched itself off
