Log files don't get written anymore. + +Hint: +After a few days, the calculated overall power (ptotal in kWh) from modpoll will be slightly higher than the overall power shown on your Effekta ES-series inverter. +This is due the fact, that the inverter's ptotal counter stores only full kWh values. +So the inverters counter loses all Wh earned after the last kWh incrementation of the day when it powers down (night). +The next day it starts e.g. with 444.0kWh instead of the real 444.849kWh from the previous day. + +Modpoll calculates the values with the same algorithm the inverter counts, but counts every single Wh and donet lose anything. +So it is much more accurate than the inverters internal counter. + +Have fun! </pre> </div>sithyodaTue, 25 Feb 2014 14:06:27 -0000https://sourceforge.net0c6e5fc31d3949100c3de3eb178a620c8f8d5fa5https://sourceforge.net/p/modpoll/wiki/Home/<div class="markdown_content"><p>Welcome to your wiki!</p> <p>This is the default page, edit it as you see fit.
