Odd data anomaly, 7,700 amp spike

I checked the solar amps and found these massive spikes (this being the biggest) shown at the start of the day (when I connect my panels) and I thought something was very wrong. When I disconnected my panels for the day and checked again the data was back to normal.

I am curious what caused this. Is it an app/data storage problem or just a random glitch?

When you say you are connecting your panels, are you just plugging them in live?

What does the solar voltage graph show when this happens?

I connect them in shade when there is no current flowing

The voltages are normal

I went to take screenshots for this reply and the amp spikes were there again, I restarted the app and they are gone, voltages stayed the same throughout.

The graphs are eventually smoothed using something like savitsky-golay filter correct?

I forgot that some of these spikes show on days when the panels stayed connected overnight, so that can be ruled out.

New record of 8,490 amps though :ok_hand:

Given that the wattage following is not high, the theoretical reason is on wake up and quick tracking sweep the brain is not fully functioning. Or the grpah smoothing issues as there are no previous data points to smooth against.

Do they happen on day start / wake up only?

Yes only seeing spikes at the beginning of the day.

I only see them on initial startup of the app, if I go back to look without closing the app the data has gone back to normal.

I’m leaning towards a smoothing issue, but it is a little concerning to show a data point that extreme even if it does go away

Hi @travellingpanels

There are some precision improvements in the calculated data trends, in the last beta of VictronConnect.

Check: VictronConnect changelog and beta releases [Victron Energy]

Maybe this issue is solved.
