JohanG Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 I just dont seem to get my head around the relationships between Energy/ month Used Purchased On Grid Generation How do they jive? Used seems obvious as well as Generation But then we have Power/ day Current Purchased On Grid Grid where current seems to be production and grid power seems to be total effect on the grid used being positive and negative being feed back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalahari Meerkat Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Their graphs are screwy... I still want to extract the data locally and do my own graphs locally and more timeously as in every 10 seconds, maybe or so, either way, you want to see on the graph: "Current Power" - is the power produced by your inverter by way of renewable input sources "On-grid Power" - is the power purchased from the grid "Grid Power" - is the power purchased or sold to the grid "Total Consumption Power" - is the power consumed in your home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohanG Posted February 9, 2021 Author Share Posted February 9, 2021 Thanks KM Interesting comparing the two graphs I am at 33deg 41 south north facing roof at 30 degrees 12 x JA Solar 405W Mono Panels Sunsynk 5.5 Kw Yesterday was a hot clear sunny day Max power produced 4.55 kW And for the day 34.9kWh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tariq Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 you have to take these apps with a grain of salt, i am using Solarman and Solarman Smart, the reading on the SUMMARY can be different from the reading on DEVICE in the same app, and the two apps can be different from each other. As time goes by, i check the apps less and less, hopefully the new dongle/app will be much better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually , depending on the season an average of between 4-6 times is achieved! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tariq Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Hi @JohanG, if I need to know exact numbers, i go the the display on the inverter screen, but the app figures are good for the most part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalahari Meerkat Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 nader aan Upington se kant hier, ek ken 1 of tween mense wat in Kathu bly, een werk by Lohatla... daardie kant is als altyd roes rooi, hulle het blykbaar 100mm reen oor 1 uur ontvang middel van Januarie, hier so 103mm oor 3 dae, 3de tot 5de Januarie, die rivier loop hoog, maar die keer darem nie die keerwalle oorskry nie, tot dusver nie, ek dink dit sal seker nie nou nog gebeur nie, laas keer, 2011, was dit so middel van Januarie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tariq Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Are you guys feeding back to the grid, as the highest I have hit is 21.6 kWh from a 4260 kWp array, six facing NE and six facing NW, as I really don’t have any more geysers, pool pumps and aircons to run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalahari Meerkat Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 No/yes Tariq, feeding the neighbor, who's also on the grid, off the grid here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
