Hi, from France.

First, my setup.
[6 x 500W DualSun] + [3 x M1-1000-E Microinverters] + [1 Fox ESS EV Charger] (currently unused).

Every month, I export a report from the Fox-ESS website (Windows 10 + Chrome).
This report is in ".csv" format. I then convert it into an ".xls" file.
- Why not get a ".xls" file directly?

- In this ".csv" file, the lines " Import energy(kWh)" and " Export energy(kWh) " are empty. They contain only 0 (zero).

- What does " PV yield(kWh) " mean and what does it contain?

Thanks

The reason for .csv is that it's non proprietary and the effectively the lowest common denominator i.e. all data programs will have a .csv import facility.

I'm not entirely sure I know the reason you don't have import or export stats, I suspect as you have micro-inverters they generate PV but because there is no inverter such as an H, KH, H3 which would have a metering device connected there is no way for them to measure the overall load, or calculate the import or export energy.

Thank you for your quick response.
Can you tell me what the "PV yield(kWh)" line in the ".csv" file corresponds to?
This line contains values ​​whose meaning I don't understand.
Thank you.
