Solar panel production figures

[JackRegan]

Awesome, I may need to get HA now then!

Whilst I'm comfortable around VM's, I'm certainly no expert in HA or YAML....but I have to say his videos make it very easy. There are one or two stages he misses but there covered in the comments section of his video.

So far I have the Solax inverter, Octopus Gas and Electric and Hive linked up.

Yesterday was a massive 2.2

Similar here, 2.7.

Today is already up to 5, and it’s still glorious here. Hoping to have the battery full and start piling the extra into the car shortly (on top of already running the dishwasher and washing machine).

It's a vicious lie! No proof = didn't happen

Got its xmas jumper on now though

Publishing my solar production figures are back on hold....

When I finished messing with HA last night all was working well. I had created several entities that I wanted to display and planned sometime later today to polish how to present these. This is what it looked like before I shut down HA and the hosting VM.

This morning, happy with how it went last night I decided to start up the VM only to find none of the entities were reporting.

To cut a very long story short, the firmware on my Solax dongle needs updating, something to do with the modus, accessing the Inverter, and the reporting getting stuck apparently.

If only I hadn't shut down HA and the VM

So close yet so far......

11.9, good day

 

[paradigm]

That is good, we topped out at 11.0.

I couldnt figure out how to get teh solax into HA

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but 'yield' on the Fox app is everything that's come through the inverter (solar and battery). The only way to work out the actual PV generated is through a calculation and I've found that's totally inaccurate too.

Today for example the app says my 'yield' is 9.2 but we've actually generated 7.3.

Interesting. I have to admit I’ve been pretty much fit and forget beyond setting up the times to charge from grid.

Any information you can either divulge or link to for calculation of accurate figures?

I’m still not disappointed though, it’s saved me a fortune based on a monthly year-on-year comparison.

Solar generated = (battery charge - battery discharge - consumption yield + Load yield + Feed in yield)

The Load yield is found on the Site Overview Monthly Yield graph, the rest are on the Device Monthly Yield graphs.

Its a stupid way to do it and I have no idea why Fox insist on not having the most important parameter on the app or portal. The inverter shows daily PV generated on its front screen, so the data is there, they just won't add it.

Its exactly the same with Solax.
Very dumb

Even more so when you realise the Solax Inverter contains the entity for Solar Generation, they just chooses not to show the hour/daily/monthly figures to display in a graph.

HA is now working after a wireless access point reset. Reporting 10.4kWh Solar generated today.

There certainly is today, currently generating 2.2kW

 

[alphaomega16]

7.5 today

52 for the month and that website that gives you seasonal averages for december it told me 93 so im closing in but the constant cloud cover isn't helping lol

 

[Ron-ski]

An almost perfect Decembers day, with 10kWh generated, only 2kWh of that was generated by the garage panels though.

Currently at 73 kWh for the month, only 5 days to go, then the days start getting longer again

 

[Oldman2]

9.2kWh generated and 53.88kWh for the month so far.

 

[Pickers]

Overcast day. No rain, not really dull, but only 0.9 kWh generation... I'm bafffled
