    Ditto...still trying to figure out the config though!
    What have you guys/gals put for the tariffs etc?

    :o
    Mine is from an install in March 2014.

    I set it to:
    import model, Net Daily
    Export model, net daily
    Net interval, every interval
    Generation peak, 17.22 (14.9 + 4.64/2)

    Under time periods, set peak times to 00:00 to 23:59 every day.

    Works for me!

    A very unexpected, nice, neat 20kWh.

    Just goes to prove that you should never trust the weather forecast:rotfl:

    Here's hoping they've got it wrong for tomorrow as well;)

    Same here, very, very close to my first Hawaii of the year with 27.7kWh = 4.964 Os.

    Sad chap that I am, I checked the ESE inverters for any missing gen not showing on the 'no decimal places' TGM, and they were hiding 200Whs, so can I claim dead on 5 Os?

    Awhhh go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on, go on!

    I could go on and point out my ESE inverters under-report by about 1.5%, but how sad am I, throwing my morals out the window for the sake of a Hawaii. :o

    Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 20kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.
