Grid export display on VRM portal

As part of the Installation Data Grid histogram display, all positive values of grid usage are displayed. However no indication is shown of grid export, It would be of great value (at lest to me) if it were possible to show export values (kWh per hour) as a negative bar to the grid histogram. At this time the VRM portal does not seem to either totalise or report energy export so I have to rely on my Fronius files to report this value to include in my system analysis.

Hi @rod.peel,

You can see your grid export on the VRM dashboard by changing the pull down menu here and selecting "Solar", it then shows the "To Grid" value for the time period you have selected. In my example below it shows my system exported 15.8 kWh yesterday.

Thank you Guy but my VRM portal does not show a 'To Grid' panel. Perhaps this is because my export to the grid is directly (and solely) from my Fronious PV Inverter which sits between my panels and my VRM QUattro Inverter charger. However on the real time display, export to Grid can be seen as a dynamic negative number in the 'Grid' box. Nowhere in the VRM Portal display is this number totalised. I believe it can be derived by calculation but up to now I have been relying on the output from my daily Fronious report (which incidentally will not totalise power to and from the batteries). As the data passes through the VRM system it would be nice if it were captured, totalised and displayed even if it is sourced from a Fronious PV Inverter
