Hi Just re read some old post and some tell us how to reset sunny explorer to match the FIT meter.

My Export meter is reading slightly lower that explorer (as expected from other posts)

Couple of questions:

When I go to "tools AC side" in sunny explorer (legoman62 instructions) it states a reading of 7272kWh BUT the total reading on the overview page is 13667 MWh

The export meter reads 13644.......

Any help or guidance appreciated.
Cheers
Mick

    Nobby,

    With Sunny Explorer open on your PC.
    Highlight red inverter icon.
    Go into settings from top and then AC side.
    This should show the total yield.
    Click on edit to change.
    Then on Save

    I normally re-sync once a month:D

    I have since found that I can change my inverter settings in "normal user mode"

    I will check my reading tomorrow when SE is running, regarding your spurious readings:D

    Thanks... I did read that the issue I seem to have is the "editable" number is about half of the total displayed...

    Just checked/edited mine.

    Editable number is exactly the same as total.

    Have you reset the total at some time?

    13.667MWh seems about right for the length of time you have had SP

    Can you change the editable number to match your Gen meter?

    Can you export your data readings to compare?

    A chat with SMA tech dept may help.
