I have a 6kw PV array and have been pushing status to pvoutput for years (sid 2558). Recently I added a separate battery system to my home, which is charged by both the existing PV and the grid. It has a 10kw inverter, so can charge/discharge the battery at 10-11kw.
I have started pushing values for b1 through b5 for my existing system into pvoutput. These show up on the live view, except for when the battery is charging from the grid at more than 6kw. When it’s charging at >6kw, I see this error come back from the POST:
Failed to send to pvoutput API: Bad Data 400: Battery charge [9991.0] too high for system size [6300] (400)
The battery can and is charging at 9991 watts, as the inverter can do that. I think that validating battery charge against the PV array size (a.k.a. “system size” - the 6300W in the error message) is wrong? If so, could this validation be removed? Or if I need to configure differently, please let me know.
Thanks.
