Bobster. Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 (edited) Hi all, Here's a screen shot from the Goodwe SEMS portal The power flow diagram shows 3352.87 W coming from the PV panels. However the graph (which starts at midnight today) suggests that the panels have never once produced 3Kw. So... which data do I believe? If the lower diagram is correct then the graph is out, and vice versa. And if the graph is out then it's not much use for figuring out what my system does and when and trying to optimise use.

Bobster. Posted August 2, 2019 Author Share Posted August 2, 2019 At 14:05 today, according to SEMS, my property was demanding ZERO watts. Which I find hard to believe. Surely the timer switches and the devices on standby (TVs and decoders) would draw something. OK... so the graph is smooth out. I get that. But it never shows me that zero watts were being consumed in the middle of the night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you see this by looking at the SEMS graphs or after downloading the historical date summary and viewing it in excel? I also found the graphs because of the smoothing and the small scale to be quite inaccurate. Edited August 3, 2019 by Fuenkli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me think that the Carlo Gavazzi some other systems require, may be a good thing as it is quite a challenge to get the data tying up all over.

I also found the graphs because of the smoothing and the small scale to be quite inaccurate. I was looking at the SEMS graphs. I know that I can download spreadsheet data, but I'd prefer to just use the portal or the phone app. Trouble is, the various displays that the portal provides don't agree with each other. Once that happens you know you have to disbelieve at least one of them. The real time display is in any event not that useful, unless I want to call home and demand to know what or who the heck is using so much electricity? The graph gives me the data to see how I can tweak things to optimise the system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have noticed that this happens when there is a glitch in the internet - I had a zero last night at around 20:00 (my battery SOC also showed 0% ) for about 1/2 hour and checking my weather station data on the internet also shows that no data was received at that time - funny though cause I was watching Netflix at that stage without issues Edited August 4, 2019 by pspspeed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
