Solar panel production figures

Pretty poor day today, given all the cooking the battery is holding out well, its down to 46% and we've consumed 20 kWh today, there will be some exported later, but not a lot.

SolarEdge: 0.6 kWh
Garage: 0.93 kWh
North west roof: 0.83 kWh
House rear wall: 0.12 kWh
Peak power was 0.80 kW at 10:57

Total generated today: 2.48 kWh
Total exported so far today: 0.108 kWh
Total imported today: 30.28kWh
 
generated a whopping 1.1kwh today

also had to put the underfloor heating on in the conservatory which wiped the battery out. it was flat by 10:30am!!! however intelligent octopus was a life saver. plugged in 1 of our cars and got 7p electricity right through till 1:30pm which allowed me to fully charge the house battery as well . 2nd car plugged in now. not due to charge till 11pm however hopefully the house battery will get me till then. all in all v happy. perfectly managed to balance my solar with battery and intelligent octopus.
 
0.831kWh generated and batteries depleted down to 14% limit and at that they must have been well out of balance as 5hrs of charge later they have 20% differential in soc @ between 69-89% across 5 x 5kw batteries. So looks like I have a balancing job this morning.
 
@Oldman2 Thats the problem with looking at individual battery SOC, it lies, it makes it up and its not accurate, which is why I love my Victron Lynx shunt, that's my point of truth.

The two BMS's can be wildly different from each other and the shunt, sometimes they are in sync, most times they are not and these days I have no idea unless I look on the app, as both BMS screens have stopped working, but its a common thing that BMS's don't calculate SOC charge very well.

Currently they are 81% and 84% whilst the Victron system reports 86%, so pretty close. Ones at 53.2v and the other 53.07v.

The biggest problem is they don't measure low levels of current very well, so the SOC charge will drift, and often they don't have a very good way of resetting to 100% either, so they never reset.

If all your individual batteries are very close on voltage, and the current they are drawing is very close then they are probably all about the same SOC.
