Mmm very odd, there's really nothing that's been happening, the only thing I did a while back was install a UDM Pro - just musing if that's interfering at all, but very odd that it's be erratic like that??

You have several missing days completely, so you'd need to check your HA automation for detail when it runs I guess, it seems like your HA isn't updating properly and is sending stale data.

Just 9.0kWh today. This July really is the pits!

Ah, think it's a breaking change with the givenergy beta firmware I'm on.....

7.7 kWh. July sucks.

6.2 for me Monday 
but that is still good, its nearly half of what we use per day and despite battery being at ~50% after running overnight it even got charged up a few percent, right now at 1am though its on 16%.
Edit
Just occurred to me I didn't show the panels on the roof, after all the discussion on roof space and whatnot this is how it turned out.
Ill try and get another pic once scaffolding gone, im surprised that companies drag their feet coming to take it down, you would think they would need it back

Have you ever seen a scaffolding yard, they have absolutely loads of the stuff, so they are never in a rush to take it down, as they'd rather be spending the day putting it up, which is what earns them money.

I hope that scaffold was cheap, no access gate and no side rails to the roof apex... Nice panels though

didnt have gate or rails to the roof apex on mine either.......in america they dont use scaffold at all, they just use ladders
They wanted roof rails on mine, but then it was the edge of the roof, that being a terrace house probably doesn't require them, although there is a risk it's substantially smaller.I hope that scaffold was cheap, no access gate and no side rails to the roof apex... Nice panels though

its only around 17c here today, so when the sun comes out we are actually hitting peak 3.2 production due to the cooler temps

I got 9x425 panels and ive seen it spike to over 4k a few times today so must be at a nice angle on roof and that was AC power not PV power. I am up to 7.20 on daily gen so far.
Also anybody else here wth Givenergy take a look at this, something really seems off since I use ~15kw per day, ive sent an E-Mail off to installer.
Info just keeps being repeatedly wrong, this is right now and since battery was empty solar to home shouldn't be 0 and consumption and grid to home are massively different.
Is yours at all accurate for monitoring usage?

heh

Yes mine is relatively accurate showing Home = Consumption data, Generation = Solar in, and then Grid In/Grid Out useful appropriately.
Do you have gaps in your data? If the inverter dongle goes offline it can lead to weird chart things.
Check the Power Flow chart instead and make sure all the data is being fed in at 5 min intervals without strange gaps. If the chart is gapping it's likely the inverter is not remaining online consistently so far as internet reach goes.

couldnt see any gaps today but a lot of the time it only seems to consistently record grid info, waiting to hear back from installer.
Soldato
It will bridge gaps so check there are points on the lines and it hasn't jumped any big gaps.
Your power graph should show grid, battery, solar etc like mine does for today:

This is what I got and what ive contacted GE about today
Edit
Edited, had wrong image. I got battery set to charge via solar only atm.

My experience is that the data gathering is dodgy, its broadly accurate but also not that accurate if that makes sense

Yeah, think im going to have to go down another route, before I was keeping track via the IHD for smart meter but obviously thats not possible anymore lol.
Inverter keep going on and offline and lots of timeouts when trying to change anything ive spoken with installer and lobbed GE an email as it could be anything from ct clamp, inverter issues, I think its reading the stuff fine on the meter data side for import/export and solar and whatnot its just the timeline stuff.
Not sure if its a straight up issue with inverter, ct issue depending on whats in it or a communication issue, if its communication issue then trying to go from wifi to lan may sort it out but I have now lost home connection for some reason, it was working fine since I updated app yesterday and had no issues until the last couple of hours.
Its been quite weird.
