VRM stats, Solar "To battery" graph

Hi,

Just checked my stats in VRM portal and on the dashboard in the "Solar" stats it is not showing energy going to the battery. My system is set up as bellow:

My Multiplus-II is using excessive solar power to charge batteries and that is working correctly, but in the stats everything has been counted as "Direct use" :

just a small 0.02kWh has been shown as "To battery" which is wrong. At the time when I took the screen shot, the battery has been charged from 84% to 100% and at the moment excessive solar power is going to the grid which looks like it's been calculated correctly. Any idea why is it not counting "To Battery" energy correctly???

Hi @Mysik

can you describe your system a bit better?

-on/off grid

-what components

-ESS? if so what mode

-what (kind of) batteries

-etc.

The problem has been solved and it is all working fine now. After Multiplus power cycle the portal started logging as expected.

Hi@All. I am experiencing a problem that began two days ago without any clear cause, despite the fact that everything was functioning properly beforehand. The setup involves a grid tie system that consists of a Grid <> MP II <> Load+PV. Everything is connected to a Cebro GX. MQTT meters were implemented for both the grid and solar using https://github.com/freakent/dbus-mqtt-devices. The meter values are correctly display in the Cebro GX UI. In addition, a Pylontech battery is connected through CAN. The ESS mode is currently set to Optimized (without Battery Life).

Both meters are shown correctly on the VRM device list. Any idea what it could be and what i could try? Do not want to restart the MP, ...

Regards Marco
