Hi,
I have started uploading battery information and have a question around how Exported power is calculated?
I presume exported is just Generation - Consumption
Currently I am not counting battery charging as Consumption as it is logged in Battery Power
However this creates incorrect Exported power values.
Is the intention of pvoutput that I should be adding battery charging as Consumption, I guess the problem with that is the battery could be charged from PV or Grid, and this also does not take into account round trip efficiencies.
I can collect the actual Imported and Exported power from the grid from the inverter. Ideally I would like to be able to explicitly set grid Imported and Exported power, overriding any calculations.
I could always just not send any Consumption data and use Extended data to store the Imported and Exported power.
Sorry that was a bit of a rambling question, that distills down to…
What is the intention for how Consumption, Battery charging and Exported power is intended to work in PVO?
