Hello everyone!  
GUI V2: Solaryield / Solarertrag

power is not the same as yield

In the new GUI, the box at the bottom left displays the sum of the power outputs of the solar chargers and AC inverters. It’s shown in watts or kW. However, the term “solar yield” is incorrect. It’s power, not yield. The German translation in the GUI says: “Solarertrag” and should be “Solarleistung”.

Also: The same applies to the vrm web portal, for example, to the “System - PV Yield” widget. Each point on the curve represents the power in watts, but yield is to measured in watt-hours.

In the dashboard it is better solved, because there it says “PV inverter” or “PV-Wechselrichter”

General: Yield is only measured in watt-hours (kWh, Wh); otherwise, it’s power or load, measured in watt.

Regards, Manfred

Same issue there:

> [@Solar Yield showing as Watts instead of Amps](https://community.victronenergy.com/t/solar-yield-showing-as-watts-instead-of-amps/53926/2):
>
> Herein lies a can of worms: Solar Yield should actually be in Wh. (or kWh for larger systems) What this tile actually displays is “Solar Power” (Current value) This is in W or kW. So either the Title for the reading should be changed, or the value displayed should be changed. Or the yield should be added to the tile. What you really need to look at is what the battery is doing, this gives you your value in Amps. But you still need to calculate from the capacity in Ah, how long you have to ch…
