Think over the day was like 37 or 38kwh? First and last hour built up to about 100watts, self sufficient about 2 hours into the day.

Its something close to this:
So 500w @ 7am and same at 6pm. Obviously scale it to your spec.

Pvoutput is saying 11.3 for you

She's massaging the stats - I knew it @Ron-ski !

Heheh! Yes, although I'm massaging them the wrong way!
You're quite right Ronski - I was using GE app as was out and about, didn't include generation to battery which is the other ~2.
Better than I thought!

Use https://postimages.org/ easy enough to do from an Android tablet anyway
You don't even need to create an account.PS. I'm not going to mention my generation.

Getting this error - so clearly something is wrong.
2022-12-01 15:40:09.888 WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.config_entries] Config entry '*****' for pvoutput integration not ready yet: PVOutput has no data available; Retrying in background
Is there a more step by step guide you can point me to?
I'm just setting this up. Got exactly the same issue. I cant see anywhere that I can tell PVOutput what sensor to use to report my generation?

Evening readings from the solar generating meter will give you daily figures for the total produced for that day.
A pain I know, but at least you will have daily figures going until it's sorted.

Thanks. I found that and gave up at part 4.

Those instructions aren't great especially if you don't know what "famous configuration" file it's talking about.
You need to add the shell command block to your configuration.yaml file near the end, which is in the root of the home assistant configuration folder, like below image. This is my Givenergy one which may look a bit different, you also need your API key and your Id values where I have shown example with redacted.
But the principal is similar, once you've populated this shell command section it will appear in homeassistant as an action that can be done on a schedule, you may need to restart homeassistant after adding this bit of code.

12.6kw today - lovely day!
Soldato
Yesterday was much better for us, not so good today. One thing I've realised today, is that 2022 has been our best solar year so far, previous yearly high was 4.509MWh in 2020, currently at 4.579MWh and still 20 solar days to go.

Send some of that sunshine down this way, not even seen the sun today and I think next week or so is going to be similar!
