Solar panel production figures

@xxalxx Its possibly not reported, but post up what system you have and people may know. Was going to say that's a really good generation for this time of year, but then spotted your location as it looked just too good.

Not sure if its the same in Australia but we can get the export from our smart meters, I use HA and another device to directly read my smart meter, my inverter does report it but the smart meter is more accurate and what I'm billed by.

Yes I have been doing a bit more reading and it looks like we can have a Fronius smart device fitted to our fusebox/distribution board that gives us this extra information. Painful as we are fully populated on the board, and it would require a new one just to get some space.

We have a Fronius 5KW 3 phase invertor (Symo 5.0-3-M), coupled to 15 Risen panels (RSM108-9-440N). Going to see if we can get any info out of our smart meter as well.

Yes we are just coming to mid spring so we are hoping this system will alleviate some of the AC use! Was a very painful installation process, took us a number of companies to get a reputable one that would actually fit something that works, we have an odd shaped roof with things in the way, ended up with two strings, one of them needed optimisers on each panel. And it took another month for Western Power to send the 'OK to turn on' email, as they sent an electrician to fit a smart meter the day after the install, but didn't record it, so for a whole month they wouldnt do anything as they were 'waiting on installation' ... sigh!
