Meter readings smart meter do not match PV output

Hello,

The generation of both my SMA inverters is uploaded to PVoutput using SBFspot, each with its own child system witch is aggregated in the parent.
The export and import of my Dutch smart meter is also aggregated in the parent using the V2 (export) and V4 (import) power values and N=1.
I compared the numbers in PV output with the meter readings of my smart meter over a period of a week.
Based on my smart meter readings and the generation of my PV system (according to PV output) I calculated the consumption (consumption = generation + import - export).
According to PV output my consumption was 165,838kWh, but according to my calculation (based on the meter readings) the consumption is 139,461kWh. So that is a difference of 26,377kWh for a period of a week! (we use comma as decimal separator).
The upload to SBFspot is done with Openhab using a Rpi. The upload of the smart meter is also done by Openhab on another Rpi. Both uploads are not at the same moment, but within the same time frame of 5 min.
Aggregation mode of both child’s are set to “Solar” and of the parent to “All”.
Net calculations of the parent is set to “Enabled”
Net Method of the parent is set to “Average”.
Status interval of all the systems is set to 5 min.

Who has any idea what causes this difference?

Some meters do net out the data every 30 minutes.

If this is the case then try to increasing the “Net Interval” tariff setting from “Every Interval” i.e. 5-minutes to “30 minutes”

Thanks for your reply, but my meter (DSMR 5.0) has an update every 10 seconds, so this cant’ be the problem…

I have a similar issue where Enphase v4 of the API does not match the Import/Ouput

Unfortunately, the only way for PVOutput to match the meter is for it to use the exact same interval, i.e. 10 secs.

I set all the interval times to 300s, but the difference of the calculated consumption according to PVoutput and according to the readings of the smart meter is still about 10kWh for a period of a week…
