Hello,
I noticed a possible timing issue in my PVOutput graphs.
My system includes a solar tracker that dynamically adjusts the EV charging power according to the available PV production. The EV charger increases its power almost immediately when PV generation rises.
However, in PVOutput the “Power Used” curve (red) appears to lag slightly behind the “Power Generated” curve (green). This is particularly visible when PV production increases rapidly due to the tracker movement.
From the attached graph, you can see that:
- the green production curve rises first;
- the red consumption curve follows with a small delay;
- in reality, the EV charging load reacts much faster than shown in the graph.
The data are uploaded every few seconds, and both generation and consumption values originate from the same inverter/system.
Could this be caused by:
- different timestamp handling between generation and consumption values?
- averaging or smoothing applied by PVOutput?
- processing delays during data upload?
Has anyone experienced a similar behavior?
Thank you.
