    Have I understood it; the objective is to move the yellow slice on top of the magenta one, and thus turn it green; leaving the left hand pie all blue ?

    The left Pie shows energy generated that day & what proportion was used in house (blue section); the (yellow) is what was exported to the grid. The R/H/S Pie shows where energy used comes from; the key being Green (Solar) Magenta (Grid). You can of course select what period of days you want to show by use of the calendar; i.e. 1st Jan to 31st Jan to see a result for a completed month. :D

    3.68 kWh today, so finally broken through 3 MWh. Pretty good week actually, might actually hit Feb PVGIS. Oddly, February is the only month for which my classic PVGIS figure exceeds the SAF PVGIS. I might have to go back and check this, because the SAF figure is significantly higher for every other month.

    Just thought I would throw this graph in to the Pot, not that there is any sense of humour on this thread !:rotfl:

    19th Feb. generated 10.8kWh: At 05:40 younger wife got up for work, all lights and 'Kettle' ablaze. 07:58 have my first cuppa; apart from tea breaks while on Photoshop green exceeded red all day soon after PV Inverter woke, red rose when small heater went on due to OptiPlug, but it always made sure that the green exceeded the red; apart from higher than Gen when I put the kettle on, but at that time it switched off; and then came the dreaded Dinner, when the sun had gone..... greensmilies-024.gif:mad:
