I only ask because I heard two men talking in a supermarket about their solar inverters, so I dawdled around next to them while pretending to browse the shelves, and one said that he had a non-export capable inverter but was thinking about buying a new, export capable one, so that he can take advantage of Octopus' export payments, and the other guy said that he didn't need to buy a new inverter, he needed a so-and-so device that costs about £500 and it will export to the grid from his inverter, and uses a CT clamp - I didn't hear properly what he said, and I had been standing there listening to them for too long already, and didn't want to butt into their conversation, but from what I heard, the other guy had one of these devices, whatever it is. But search as I might, I can't find anything on Google.
I imagine all that it needs to do is to request (as it were) a load from the inverter, and then up the voltage, while monitoring the CT clamp, until the voltage coming out of the device is higher than the incoming voltage from the grid, and the CT clamp will then let it know that the electricity is flowing the right way (i.e. exporting). So I presume it could indeed cost only £500.
