Introduction:
You may be wondering why the data from your PV system is sometimes updated in real-time and sometimes with a delay of up to 5 minutes. Do not worry; this is completely normal and is due to the different interfaces provided by the manufacturers. In this article, we explain how your system functions optimally despite these differences.
Main section:
-
Dependency on manufacturer interfaces:
- The data update rate depends on the interfaces of the respective manufacturers. Some manufacturers provide real-time data, while others update data at 5-minute intervals. Our app is designed to work seamlessly with both variants.
-
Impact on load control:
- For controlling your loads, such as your wallbox, an update rate of 5 minutes is generally sufficient. Our analyses have shown that in 98% of cases, a 5-minute update interval does not make a significant difference in the overall energy balance. Your system can therefore operate efficiently even with this rate.
-
The role of the battery storage:
- Additionally, most PV systems are equipped with battery storage that can compensate for short-term fluctuations. Should there be any discrepancy between updates, the battery storage ensures that your loads continue to be supplied optimally.
-
Summary:
- An update rate of 5 minutes is therefore no cause for concern. Our app is designed to ensure efficient control and monitoring of your energy flows even under these conditions. If you still have questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
