Impossible total energy reported in app and online

So have had my AIO up and running for almost four days; still learning the ropes. But there is one anomaly that really stands out. In both the app (BT or wifi) and and the Midnite web view total energy is >9MWH.

It is currently showing 9.56MWh for an E-total. In the roughly 3.5 days it's been up, that would be >4000A at 240v continuously. Pretty sure the 100A MN breaker or my 125A breaker in the grid panel would have popped with that much current  :) . If not the 2ga wires would have melted pretty fast.

So this 9MWh number is obviously in error. Any ideas on where it came from, why it's there or how to clear it out?

On Edit: So now, later same day, the app when connected locally via BT is showing Solar offset of 7.16MWh and some ridiculous percentage. obviously an impossible amount of power for just ~4 days of operation, especially since most of those days have been cloudy. Interestingly the daily total solar production numbers seems about right, for example ~1KWh right now. This number was not so grossly off yesterday.

However when I exit the app and then reconnect (again via BT) it shows a more reasonable number???

The other day I also saw negative (and positive PV production shown between the hours of midnite and 7AM (eg sunrise here). After sunrise the numbers looked reasonable. So what does negative PV production mean and why is there ANY PV activity being recorded when there is no sun???

Beginning to wonder if any of these numbers from the inverter are accurate...

Noticed the exact same thing. Pv production is accurate until some point later in the day where I think the values are multiplied by 1000 and is in the MWh range. Looking forward to inverter and app updates in the new years.

This issue is being worked Yes it is a problem. It stems from the fact we try to do sub 1 min data, instead of the industry standard of 5 min data.

The data problem will get fixed as we move forward by increasing the server processing and data management.

We will have some really exciting APP improvements as we move forward in the first part of 2025!

May have a clue on the MWh issue:

I have noticed that E-Today seems to be reported accurately while PV power is coming in fairly well (e.g sunny days). And when it stays sunny all day E-Today usually stays in KWhs, as it should. However when there is cloud cover which takes over for a while (like the rest of the day), E-Today jumps to MWhs.

This has happened a couple of times, when storms were moving in mid-day.

Just reporting it in case it helps tracking down the problem.

Any idea on when a simple firmware fix to this can be provided? I thought firmware development was taken over in-house and should be faster to find issues and fix.
