I have a KH10 inverter installed a couple of weeks ago and my HA installation automatically built the energy dashboard. The energy distribution for the grid/battery/house load all seem to be presenting correctly but the panels aren't.
pv1_energy_total and pv2_energy_total are not providing any values. There is one called solar_energy_total which could be a merging of the 2?
pv1_power and pv2_power seem to present real time values ok.

solar_energy_total comes directly from the inverter (it is the total solar the inverter is reporting).
Whereas pv1(/2)_energy_total are derived from riemann sums working on the pv_power sensors - try restarting the home assistant when pv power is present when riemann sum sensors are created for the first time they sometimes freeze, a restart should solve it.

If you add the pv1_energy_total strings independently to your dashboard under solar panels you will be able to see how each string performs and you'll get your daily stats etc... - if you only add solar_energy_total it will show you the total production but you won't be able to break it down by string performance.mdex wrote: Wed Feb 26, 2025 9:08 am
EDIT: Which of the 2 should I user for my energy dashboard? Does it matter as I assume they'd report the same?
EDIT 2: Unless solar_energy_total is a total ongoing count?
They are all increasing totals, the energy dashboard will sort all of that out for you .
So they are. Thanks for the help Dave, appreciated.Dave Foster wrote: Wed Feb 26, 2025 9:27 amIf you add the pv1_energy_total strings independently to your dashboard under solar panels you will be able to see how each string performs and you'll get your daily stats etc... - if you only add solar_energy_total it will show you the total production but you won't be able to break it down by string performance.mdex wrote: Wed Feb 26, 2025 9:08 am
