Inverter Energy Meters

The inverter provides a number of different energy meters. These measure:

  • PV Energy: the amount of energy generated from solar (also called Solar Energy)
  • Battery Charge Energy: the amount of energy put into the batteries
  • Battery Discharge Energy: the amount of energy taken from the batteries
  • Feed In Energy: the amount of energy supplied back to the grid
  • Grid Consumption Energy: the amount of energy consumed from the grid (called Consume when viewed via the front panel)
  • Output Energy: the amount of energy output by the inverter (also called Total Yield by Fox ESS)
  • Input Energy: the amount of energy consumed to force charging the batteries from the grid
  • Load Energy: the amount of energy supplied to the house load

Each meter is presented as:

  • A Today value (16-bit unsigned): the amount of energy consumed or produced Today
  • A Total value (32-bit unsigned): the amount of energy consumed or produced since the inveter was installed

All values are in kWh to 1 decimal place, so the integer value read from the inverter needs to be divided by 10 e.g. 3456 = 345.6 kWh.
