    While I’d love to be able to claim the 3.66 O’s that the FusionSolar app is claiming my panels produced today I’ll come clean and admit that the app has a problem. It’s rubbish. I noted that it was claiming 6.1 kWh before the sun was even up and I never believe anything it reports unless I can cross reference it against something else. Octopus agrees and the battery charge last night has been incorrectly assigned to PV generation.
    Anyone know a way of measuring and recording solar generation without relying on a data farm. Something that can give instantaneous readings rather than a reading every 5 minutes that only seems to reflect what is happening now (a cloud) rather than the sunshine we experienced for 4 mins 30 seconds.

    Fusion Solar does appear to have had a bad day. You can connect direct to the inverter using Sun2000 app and get live data if you need it.
    Good start to the month at 2.06 O's.

    Slightly better than yesterday, 2.07 Os

    And even before the saving session started I'd exported more than imported, so a little bit of profit today 😀
