    A surprising £9.01 today (18.6 kWh)

    Already earned nearly £150 this month, far surpassing last year, on month and year already. :D

    'O' my :D

    12.2kWh yesterday, which isn't of much interest. Passed a couple of milestones yesterday: 8MWh on the generation meter and 1700kWh on the ImmerSUN.

    Today the sun is shining, PV is generating 2kW already. 193kWh so far this month.

    I made around 2.5 Os yesterday - 9.8KWh on my 3.924Kwp system.

    Here's my graph - imported from SolarEdge to PVOutput using "Live data" method. PVOutput has calculated my total generated slightly differently than SolarEdge did.

    http://pvoutput.org/intraday.jsp?id=30586&sid=28021

    I can't get my finances right though. It's a new system, so I've gone and adjusted the generation amount to 17.22 pence (14.9p + 4.64p/2), but the financial estimate seems to be calculating based on approx 45 pence. Any ideas?

    Cheers,

    James

    I had fun setting up the finance data in pvoutput also. Nailed it in the end. Manually adding each export amount as 50% of generated.

    Here's a list of my Tariff Settings in pvoutput:
    Export Model: Net Daily
    Import Model: Net Daily

    Credit Rates:
    Export Peak: 4.6400
    Generation Peak: 14.9000

    Hope that helps.

    Thanks - that's helped.

    I've set my Generation peak to 17.22 but other settings the same as yours. It still didn't work to begin with, but finally decided to take about 10 minutes after I updated it! Very strange.

    Anyway, yesterday was my first day - fairly overcast. On for a better day today - Already over 2 Os!

    In fact, I'm wrong. PVoutput shows it incorrectly on one screen, but correctly on another screen!

    Fine here:

    But incorrect here:

    Bizarre.
