I've haven't had my system long so this is probably old news to everyone else....

Am I alone in being disappointed the system doesn't show as 1mW instead of 1000kW??

Small things I know... 🙂

'1mW' means one milliwatt. I assume you meant to write '1MW' (one megawatt)!

Well, if your system hasn't been in long and you're already racking up MW, I don't think there's anything to be disappointed with. Disappointment would come if you shelled out £Ks and you're only seeing mW or W.

Enjoy 😄

However, it wouldn't harm to drop the decimal point once you do reach > 1MWh generation on the portal. In fact, for me, once you have figures in excess of 300kWh (say), for total generation, export, etc, decimals don't really mean very much.

Submit a feature request. Im sure somethin that small and easy to code would be a 5 min job for the Devs

It does eventually change, perhaps double digits though. I’ve 10MWh showing on mine for PV?

I’ve generated 2874.90kWh since December 2020 according to the portal.
I’m a bit weird and prefer that to say 2.87MWh 🤣
