Sometimes you can't help yourself. I had this card that showed the live and maximum watts of my solar panels. It didn't show the maximum for the day. It does now 😀 A bad day for testing, but it looks ok.

It is going to be handy over the years to see how it declines over time. This year two. You can see the front (east facing) has already hit the maximum this year. The back (west) will start to kick in more in the coming months.

Combined panels showing wattage live, maximum for the year and day

anxiumer18539,

@bazcurtis could you post how this is configured in apex charts by any chance? I tried but couldn't recreate

@anxiumer18539 do you have the sensors? The code should be correct for the apex chart. These sensors are for my Lux inverter.

@anxiumer18539 Sorry, I didn't release this was a different threat. I have written up here.

Hope it helps.

@bazcurtis I’m not great at creating nice dashboards/visualisations, can you share your code please? ;)

@spitfire Just to add to the post. These were added to a new Section dashboard. The some of the Dashboard looks like this. It continues further down. Sections are fantastic.

@bazcurtis That looks great! I’m not sure it would be easy to adapt with different regulations about the cost of import/export and rules on debit in different countries (hell, it depends on when you got your PV installation mounted!). What I’d like to see is what is the power split between circuits (east/west for me) live and over time on a graph :)

@spitfire You should be able to do that with with a Apex Card

I use this one to show live solar production and the battery SoC.

I found this guide helpful.

@bazcurtis That looks good! I think I could adopt that (without the energy storage part, as I don’t have it), but a live pie chart of energy generation distribution (what % of power is being generated by east vs. west circuit) would be useful. I suck at coming up with nice looking dashboards, mine are mostly text based and focused only on basic functionality:/

@spitfire I am a bit of a stats geek. As soon as I found the Apex card it opened a lot of possibilities.

@bazcurtis Good morning, what card have you used?
