PIP-5048MS - How to get an Overview of the actual produced SolarPower

Hi ,

I finally got my two PIPs running with the first Pannels for Testing. Still in building Process.
But it seems that I'm not able to see, how much SolarPower is actually possible to be used.
The Load Power only shows, how much is used atm.
Can anyone tell me, what I have to do, to see, how much Solarpower is actually usable.
For example to start some electronic device depending on the ratio of Produced Power to Load.
Or am I just to blind to see the right values in Watchpower?

I dont think the PIP could know that. The charger throttles down the charging current if the battery is full and the load on the inverter is low. But after it has done so it can't tell you how much energy it could theoretically draw from the panels.

You can only check if voltage on solar is high. If its above the VMP then you know you have surplus left over but you cannot tell how much unless you build some data parsers.

I use my Raspi image with grafana for this.

Ok, thank you both for clarifying this.

So I have to somehow use an external Solution, like Grafane or something similar.
