I’m facing issues with the SAJ inverter configuration. I’ve been using it now a couple of weeks but i see an daily unusual spike in the energy dashboard. I made a issue for it in github. Anyone might know how to solve this? Thanks in advance.

integration: saj
### The problem
I'm using the SAJ Solar Inverter integration: https://www.home-… assistant.io/integrations/saj/
In my energy dashboard i see daily unusual high spike. It seems that the occurs daily when the inverter wakes up at the beginning of when the first sunenergy is generated or at the end of the day when it gets dark and the inverter goes to sleep.

It has been an issue since i start using the SAJ integration.

Show the state history graph for that sensor about the time the big spike on the energy dashboard occurs.
You should check in the forum for solutions to this sort of thing before opening issues. Don’t close it though leave it for now.

Yes. There is something wrong with that integration. It should not be dropping in value like that. Please include that graph in your open issue.
