I'm going to try an experiment later today, will report back on results :idea:
Think you may find that they only display usage and not usage + generation....... or usage minus generation and generation minus usage

Just the 2.14 O's for me on this wet (all day) day. New toy is performing well; it managed to register 2.028 O's which works out to be 0.58824% under the generation meter reading. That will do me Tommy.....:D :rotfl:
I noticed the Legoman was up late this morning.....okay for some...
Bet he will post around 2.39 O's.........:mad:2.5 kWp PV system, SSW facing, 45 Deg Roof. ABB Inverter, Monitor: 'Wattson'.

Not a bad guess, only 3% out::D 7.43 kWh from PV of your total 12.18 kWh that you used...:rotfl: That means you only had to pay for the 4.75 kWh that you used from the grid.......what was Mrs L doing?....:eek:2.5 kWp PV system, SSW facing, 45 Deg Roof. ABB Inverter, Monitor: 'Wattson'.

Similar here, got 32.9kWh or 5.9 Os. Almost my best, but did manage 1kWh more last July.
Lovely day, but a little cool, kept gen around 90% (for the panels in the sun) rather than 70 to 80%. I can live with that.
Mart.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.
