    Hi,
    Understood about the balance.
    Would be interesting to know when the various systems reach peak and start heading down during the day.

    My graph for today is above, although I have max peak starting just after 2pm, I am sure that I have also seen over 3kW being generated just after 12 as well earlier in the year.

    EDIT: Although I can see the graph during edit, it is not showing when posting.
    3.99KW SunEdison (14 * 285W), Solis inverter, iBoost, Herts, roughly SW facing

    My peak is between 10:30 and 13:30.
    Generation falls off a cliff around 7pm at this time of the year.
    4kWp, South facing, 16 x phono solar panels, Solis inverter, Lincolnshire.
