Chaps, Hi. Can someone help me out ?
I'm having trouble figuring this out. This is probably Inverter limitation but it should be correctable. I have a must inverter model PV1800 3K version and a victron bmv-712.
The issue is that the inverter does not take into account/measure grid wattage/energy used to charge the battery when "Charger source priority" is set to anything that uses grid to charge the battery. In my screenshot you can see what I'm talking about. 476W Battery - 115W Solar PV + 84W Load = 445W Grid. Grid should have there 445 W. This also produces a secondary effect where in "Totals" / "Grid used" is gonna be wrong because it does not account grid energy used to charge the battery.
Am I missing something? It seams to me that the issue comes from the inverter itself and since I can't find any firmware for it and I doubt I ever will, It should be correctable in solar assistant if they added that calculation I just did. At least it would be a lot more close to reality than it is in this moment. I have sent solar-assistant email but got a proforma email saying to update to beta version but I am already using the beta version.
Any ideas ? Thank you
Adolfo
