Solar PV CT Clamp Position Not All Cables Colour Coded

Hello, Grant, and welcome to the OEM forum.

No, that’s actually a “Type 1” set-up, and the Solar bundle should be OK for your needs.

CT1 goes on the House supply, which is the grey wire “4” coming out of the Henley Block (the black one) where a brown wire goes in and that and another grey wire comes out. A check would be to see where “4” goes - it looks as if it goes to that voltage regulator device and that supplies the rest your house.

CT2 goes on the PV infeed, which is the grey wire that isn’t wire 4, that comes out of the same Henley Block and goes into the PV Isolator and RCD in the 2-way consumer unit housing bottom right.

Because of that voltage regulator device, the voltage that your PV sees will be different to the voltage the rest of the house sees, so for accurate readings the a.c. adapter of your emonPi needs a socket on the supply side of that voltage regulator. The emonPi power (via the 5 V d.c. adapter) can use any convenient socket.
