Hi,
Quick question. I'm trying to verify the correct place to install my CT sensors on my sol-ark 15k setup. Reading the manual, I think I should be putting them right before the main panel to my house. I attached a diagram below. Can you help verify if this is correct.

As I understand it, the CTs belong right after the fused disconnect and before the tap to the bypass for their stated purpose. Functionally I believe they already have a load-side CT.
 
I'm at that point in my install. What you highlighted in the line drawing, is that the correct CT placement?

No, I installed them in the wire way between grid tie in on the inverter and the meter. I’m going to remove that pic to eliminate confusion.

I'm using a power distribution block that is fed from my ac disconnect directly from the meter. So correct CT placement is between the ac disconnect and grid l1 and grid l2 terminals on the solark 15k?

That’s where I put mine, it functions as it should when using TOU
to prioritize batteries and limit grid use during high cost periods of the day.
