what sort of meter have you got.......if it's a "smart meter" then just read your export and compare it with your import

your inverter is pretty well self explanatory.....you should have

instant production (what your array is producing right now)

days production (what has been produced by your array for that particular day)

and in some cases months production

there is other "stuff" on their that I don't bother too much about and the information varies from inverter to inverter

if you have a standard meter then compare your quarterly figures with previous quarterly figures.....found on previous account statements......this will give you an idea of what your array is doing over the periods studied

I'm simply watching my metering in order to get some idea of what it does over a twelve month period,....this will arm me with knowledge to make a decision as to where I go next

may your day's be filled with smiles, your life be filled with love, may your children know nothing but happiness and joy, cherish the memory of those who strove before us for they cleared the way, spare a thought for those who serve we owe so much to so many, life and the freedom to enjoy it is a special gift that can be taken away far too soon!
