Which Owl Intution PV do you Need?
There are two common Solar PV wiring configurations, see the diagrams (below) to determine which type you have.
If you have a Type One installation then you just need to purchase the standard Intuition-pv pack. This is where the feed from the PV Inverter is connected into a Henley junction block, together with the feed from the grid supply meter, before connection to the Consumer Unit / Distribution Box.
If you have a Type Two installation then you will need to purchase Intuition-pv Type 2 pack which includes both a “Y” cable and the additional Sensor clamp required. This is where the feed from the PV Inverter is connected straight into the Consumer Unit / Distribution Box.
