I live in the Alps and regularly ride up and down many of the local ones on my bike which is compliant with current UK law. I don't have so far to go to be in Italy and even less to be in Germany, if I was to take the train to Italy then ride back home I would probably need 2 charges, I can get...

They have used them to test for dongles on mid drive bikes, one weekend they stopped loads of bikes on one of the major cycle routes. The pictures I saw had 3 police, one on the bike and one each side steadying it.

Yes they carry them in some police cars, probably like traffic cars in UK.

Police over here have a simple pair of rollers which they can use to measure speed, simple but effective. They are mainly used to find tuned Mopeds rather than ebikes but could be used if required.

You exporting properly yet?

2 months ago.

I managed to get half of what I paid for my Haibike back after having it for 5 years and many thousands of kilometers. The second hand (and ex hire) ebike market in Austria is very buoyant, most bikes here are crank drive.

You still don't seem to understand how this works. The inverter doesn't know where the electricity it produces goes. All it does is output a voltage that is slightly above the mains voltage so it can push its power out. This is what your generation CT clamp is telling you. Once the electricity...

While you might have a noisy inverter that won't make any difference to your graphs. If it is producing more than you are using then it has to export. If your electricity meter is stopped then it is exporting. Check the CTs they aren't reading right. There isn't anything to service on an...

That pic still makes no sense to me, if you are generating 1.75 kW and still importing 200W where is it all going? Your generation looks right for the weather today but the import makes no sense. If you had a 2kW load constantly the import graph would be the inverse of the generation so it's not...

Yes it is grid tied otherwise I couldn't export. I receive about £2.5k per annum from FIT payments, that is for everything I generate regardless of how much is exported. The guy over the road should talk to his solicitor as all of this should have been sorted as part of the purchase.

Again the last pic shows no import

You use more electricity than my daughter mind I did have a heater on part of the time today otherwise consumption would have been 2kWh lower. The system is 3.75kW but the weather looks crap.

Today's crap generation in UK including power cut, note import, export and generation. These numbers tie up with my generation meter, do you have a generation meter or is it all done electronically by the system owner.

That picture still doesn't show any import.
