Solar panel production figures

Having only had our panels installed last month I'm still amused by the figures each day. 13.3 today, which is slightly better than yesterday. Had a few days in the last week where it was only 2 or 3kWh but the forecast looks like mostly sunny days for the next week so should hopefully get similar numbers to today. I am torn though as I hate summer as it's usually way too hot for my liking but, with the panels installed, all I want to see is long sunny days :)

8kwh today.

Also I'm pretty sure the Solis inverter/app under reports generation a bit.

According to the app we have generated 4.5Mwh since install, but on the physical emlite meter we've just gone over 5Mwh.

This is also backed up by the fact that towards the end of a day on a clear day, when the generation goes down to around 60watts, our smart meter still shows 0 watts being used.

There is no way 60w covers everything in the house, even with everything turned off, we "idle" at about 180w.
 
My Victron over measures by about 5% on grid import and export, no idea how accurate the solar is.

Solaredge app reports a different total to our generation meter as well, 34,700 compared to 33,457.

The tolerances of the metering equipment wont be high grade compared to the regular import whole current for accuracy. So I agree, reminds me I should check the gen meter and see what that has..
 
I can tell from Octopus figures on import/export that the GE stuff I have is like 5% or so under-reporting.

Also no helped that my wireless dongle sometimes cuts out which means no data reading, think that is also part of it.
