I have recently had installed 6kW PV panels (4kW house, 2kW garage) coupled to a 5kW GivEnergy Hybrid Inverter and a GivEnergy 9.5kWh battery. I can see the total power being generated by the PV panels but is there a way to see how much power each set of panels is delivering - i.e the house v the garage. I am concerned about shadowing on the garage roof in the winter.
I do not want to switch off each set of panels and monitor separately....
DavidMoore1 The per string data should be available as a download from the My Inverter Panel in the portal - select PV Data. If you actually want to monitor it in real time (well almost) then you will need to use something like givTCP which can publish data every few seconds.
if you have had micro inverters fitted under the panels then you can monitor each individual panel.

not pedantic at all chap, always happy to be corrected so thank you.
If you want to monitor the data - the API gives you per-string power so you can examine it that way if you're comfortable using APIs and parsing JSON
DavidMoore1 I haven't got the same inverter, mine's an AC3 effectively fed by a single string, but have a look at 'My Inverter' > 'Inverter Data' (The 3x3 squares icon, top right) . On mine it only shows the '1' values, I always assumed the '2' ones were for inverters with two MPPT inputs:
VPV1, VPV2, IPV1, IPV2, PPV1, PPV2, PPV etc.
SilverArt Thank you. I can see data in the VPV1 and VPV2 columns etc. Can you or other confirm that this data is from the 2 separate PV 'arrays' and is not 1) energy to battery versus 2) energy to home from the panels. Monitoring real time this morning suggest no (to the latter) and so I have an answer to monitoring my garage input versus house. Thank you all.
DavidMoore1 It is the values from each string.
cluelesscris Thanks
