Hi There,
since most of the issues I had with the integration of my solar power into the energy Dashboard are figured out and fixed, this feature is running smoothly for a couple of months now - and I am very satisfied with the outcome.
Still, one thing I am really missing is a nice way to import past statistics my inverter / the API can provide (csv file…) for the time when I had to reset the database - or the solar installation was not yet integrated into home assistant.
But… this might come in the future… (?)
Anyway - another request would be an additional graph with a long term statistic of the solar production over the complete “runtime”…
Right now, I am importing all measurements on a monthly base into an excel file - to generate some statistics - and compare the production between each month and year:
For example:
This chart does show the following:
- Bars: estimated production based on some simulators (colors are showing the different areas, similar as my setup in Forecast.Solar
- Blue line: Production Output for each month in 2021
- Brown line: Production Output for each month in 2022
This should be done for each month, each year, to see how each year / month compares with the previous years, etc…
In addition to this, there is of course an information table where some calculations are made:
This table does get the produced energy, and calculates the percentage of the simulated / expected results…
I don’t know, if there’s a way how I could generate this within HomeAssistant directly?!
If you have any further Idea - please let me know
