Electric newbie: where to connect PV wires for correct consumption readings?

Hello Fluksonians, I'm not familiar with everything higher than 12 volts. So, after reading several entries about rewiring the fuse box, I thought I could rewire the PV wires as indicated in the first jpg? Would this be right?

Also attached is a jpg of the 'Dash page' which shows the PV yield in blue and my own - obviously wrong - consumption in red.

Thanks for reading. Any advice is most welcome.

If you want i can come to your house somewhere this week, to change your wiring.

to morrow or friday around 18h ?

(you need to make the lower powerdistribution bar a little shorter, and add an extra wire)

Bram came, saw and conquered the electric beast. He did his magic in less than an hour: shortening copper bars, rewiring the solar output and constructing an easily accessible wire, carrying all 'internal' current, to fit the clamp perfectly.

Meanwhile, we had a nice tech talk. He certainly has some useful tips. Here is one: use only one fairly high-power rated 12 V power supply for your router, switch, Flukso, modem and so on. In one sweep, you can do away with several, small power supplies which - together - consume more power than only one. Of course, you need to make some cables annex connectors but hey, that's where a soldering iron and some elbow grease come in handy.

A big thanks and may you sail fast and prosperous on the electric winds! - JG
