Hmmm... I would expect ALL the water to come from my supply until it run out. Why should I be paying for water when I have Free water in my tank?

Sorry, I don't get this... If there was no Load, there would be no current, regardless of how much sunshine there is. Yes?

HEY! Now this is interesting... So the Inverter is running "flat out" all the time (when the sun is shining). What is not used by the "house" goes into the grid anyway. I'll need to sleep on this.

Oh.. yes.. sorry.. Kirchhoff's Law stating the obvious... I mean.. well, the "node" would be consuming power otherwise wouldn't it.

Sorry, I don't get any of that really... Although the inverter is "Rated" is 2Kw, that's not constant at all. It's the load that determines the amount or current required. I could "draw it up", but I would get that calculations very wrong :-(

All connected to one Terminal block.. so in parallel.. OK. "Your loads will consume current." Yes... "Your inverter will generate some current." Well.. how about we say it will DELIVER the current required by the load. "The difference" .. let's make it easy and say there is no "difference"...

Yeh.. so the connection is in Parallel on your side of the meter. So you said "it will come from your generator"... but WHY?? IF it was two identical DC Batteries.. ie Mains 1 battery and generator the other, the current would be shared equally. Why is it not the case with AC?? Regards, Wambat

Sounds like a fairy tale to me... If I apply Ohms Law, your "bit higher voltage" isn't going to make ALL the current to the appliance come from the inverter. Maybe I'm missing the point.. can you explain it a bit differently? Regards, Wambat

OK.. I understand about the sync. Not a problem, but... My understanding is that the Inverter is wired in parallel with the incoming mains supply. So what happens when you switch on your toaster? What decides WHERE the current is drawn from? and assuming it comes from the Inverter, what decides...
