Morning ​@Johanhendrik and a warm welcome to the OVO Forum!

 

I’ve added your battery and solar badges to your Forum account so that other Forum members can recognise what which kit you have. 

 

I’ve been doing some digging online, and I’ve found an old post on this Forum: https://powerforum.co.za/topic/19199-solarman-not-show-historical-production/

 

In that post, someone has provided the following solution:

 

It was the date and time that had changed.

I made sure the inverter, app and my internet router had the same date and time including time zone. 

It's working after that change 

 

I hope this might be of help...

Hi ​@Johanhendrik , where are you based? Your image suggests not the UK.

As this is a UK based forum our technical understanding may not match your equipment

    I had a similar issue when setting up a small solar system. Before changing the app settings, I found it useful to check that the inverter, Wi-Fi logger, and data logger were all connected correctly. A weak network connection can also stop the app from updating properly.

    I've also been reading about how different countries support residential solar adoption. In my case, I recently looked into the *removed by mod* to understand how households can check eligibility and registration for government-supported solar projects. Although it's a different topic from Solarman, it's interesting to see how software and online tools are becoming an important part of managing home solar systems.
