Thank you

Re: Spiked Load
You need to look at some monthly charts for load, and see if you can ID a month that it begins.

Then drill down to days in the month that usage increased, and on that day look at the graphs to see when the power was being used.

Then see if there is a pattern to when the load is being used, example each day at 2am for an hour, or is it more spread out.


It might be a water heater (immersion) has been flicked on and left on.
Re: Spiked Load
Hi,
Thank you.
I downloaded load for 2025, and 2026 until now. The load according to data for 2025 is 4766 and to date in 2026 is 3733.60. However Fox graph says 2025 usage is 1221 and 2026 is 3580.
Is Fox reporting wrong values, or am I doing something wrong?
Please see the graphs attached. Any help is much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Re: Spiked Load
The obvious thing that sticks out in the last two pictures is 2026 reports 'Gen Load', whereas 2025 doesn't. This would spike the chart from 1st post.
Re: Spiked Load
Yes, I connected the existing SE inverter to Fox inverter by watching iameccles, and I am grateful to him.
However, does it have any bearing of the load please?
Thank you
Re: Spiked Load
I might need more coffee to digest before I look at thread again to be honest, but the 'Gen Load' value does seem to bump up and be included in the picture from 1st post. The numbers do line up with how it reports the value, though this doesn't line up with the load you are actually using in the home.

Maybe Fox track Gen Load as load :?:
