We got the 23 lights up across the basement, and we also mobilized my 500 Lb cabinet saw, planer, vac system and tools so I can set up shop.

I finally hooked up the Acrel CT meter included with my inverter. I put it out in the 200amp panel upstream of the main there to capture it before my future EV charger (s) in the carport. I split a Cat5 for the RSD switch and brought a pair into that panel for the RS485 communication with the inverter.

I split that cat5 as it came by the low voltage panel the other day and peeled out the blue and brown pairs for some other duties. Waste not want not.

the 3.5 import was from the heat pump running before sunup. That happened again after sundown and before midnight.
The PUD had it down for -45.92KWh that day, which is a net number and jives with all this above and the heat pump running a bit.
