Same question as Petr.

I have a MPPT 450/100 with two identical strings of PVs. On VRM the displayed Total is for example 2,405 W, on first string is 1,280W and on second string is 1,348W which in total means 2,628W. Why it is this difference of 223W which represent a minus of 8.5% less that 2,628W.

The system is formed by a Quattro 48/5000/50, MPPT 450/100 and Venus.

Bellow a different example at a different time.

Same here, I've got a variance of about 300 watts under the actual reported by each Smart Solar (total 4900~ should be about 5180~).

Looks like the individual figures in the solar box are for the panels, but the combined figure is output power. There are losses in the MPPT.

Same sort of thing with the multiplus. Internal losses converting DC to AC.

I have the same problem, it also shows less, but already on the console or in the app on the mobile it shows correctly, so I doubt it's losses.
