Hi everyone. New installation here, with Multiplus II 48/5000 GX, parallel with house loads in phase 1. Nothing is connected to AC outputs. Three phase AC coupled solar. We have a three phase grid connection with phase net metering so the system can use L1 to compensate for import/export on other phases. This seems to work.

However, the DESS visualization shows that for example during the day I imported from grid to consumption. I didn’t. Consumption was covered by solar, and the excess went to the battery. Here is the net balance graph (we have 15min net intervals). I plot this from the data read from our grid provider’s smart electricity meter.

So the question is, would it be possible to add net metering consideration to the plots so they would make more sense in VRM? And does the current confusing state of plots affect DESS planning ability?
