Hi all,
Is it possible to obtain a total kwh for set times? i.e. kwh's used between 00:00 & 07:00 & 07:00 & 00:00
I'd like to understand the costs and usage

Midlands_Solar Probably simplest to look at the meter data... those are incrementing counters (much like your smartmeter reading), and the difference between two readings is the energy used.
The meter data is (for me) the last column on the inverter page on the portal.

so eg I generated (20.2 - 18.4 = 1.8)kWh between 13:46 and 14:07. (Unfortunately only seems to get reported to 1dp. Not sure why - the energy graph shows 2dp.
There's no data for "consumption" - the inverter doesn't have any way to measure that directly - I assume it's just calculated as the difference between all the various numbers it does measure.
(Similarly, it doesn't measure specifically solar to house, solar to grid, etc. It presumably just has to invent those numbers too.)
Not sure if you can download the meter data through the portal, but you can get it via the API.
DD Even better look at the meter data in Inverter data that can be downloaded as csv:

You even get 'Consumption' data, but as with all Givenergy data to be taken with a large pinch of salt.
SJB Ah! I knew it should be downloadable somewhere.
BTW what's "combined gen" ? Today, my combined gen started accumulating before PV gen got started, but then around 12:45 the PV gen overtook it.
Combined Gen is what comes out of the inverter.
