Victron Daily Solar Yield - Modbus register: 784 - zeros at 22h00

I have Home Assistant reading over Modbus from an EasySolar 48/5000
Victron Multiplus Inverter (ID2624 - V500), and a
SmartSolar MPPT VE.CAN 250/100 rev 2. (V3.13)

Both HA and the Victron Colour Control GX are set for the UTC+2 timezone.

Problem
I get that the "daily solar yield", register 784 from the SmartSolar device perfectly gives the daliy yield, however it resets back to zero at 22h00 (UTC+2), rather than at 00h00 local time.

Where do I correct this issue - I could not find Time zone setting for SmartSolar ?

Sensor:

- name: ‘Solar Yield today’
unit_of_measurement: “kWh”
slave: 247 #SmartSolar MPPT VE.Can 250/1--Rev 2
address: 784 # Daily PV Yield
data_type: uint16
scale: 0.1
precision: 1

I am using InfluxDB and Grafana for visualization. So in Grafana you can just set to take the highest value (max value) of a senor for an entire day. I am not aware that you can influence when the GX resets the register (like time zone correction) - but local time 23:59:59 would make sense.dpv.png
