Excess solar KW rolls into balance

[mnwaterskiier]

I am running a Gen 2 Vue. with 200 Amp incoming service.  I have 2 50 AMP breakers coming in my breaker box for incoming solar.  Everything is recording properly, but not when I exceed over 150% (estimate) above what I am using to what I am producing.   The excess power that I am producing from my Solar the calculation of what I am producing and what I am using is not correct.  The overage of power I am producing will show in the app under “balance” as consumed power.  Not that I can not do the math but after a day I would really like to know what I used and what I produced, and the balance afterward.

 

As it shows in the screenshot I am producing 5.209 KW but only using 1.057 KW.  The remaining solar that is returning back to my utility company is recorded being used under the balance at 4.301 KW.  Please help in making the correct calculations.    Thanks!!

@mnwaterskiier thanks for the example of what you are seeing on the app.   Please see our definitions below.

Main- this is your net metering, at this time you home was net consuming, and 1.057 kw of energy was being pulled from the utlity.

Solar- this was what your total solar production was

Total Usage- this is what the home was consuming in total from both your utility and solar production.

Balance- this is the energy that was being consumed that was not being measured by the 16 sensors.

If you feel this was not what was actually occurring, that you were actually NET Producing, then please reach out to our support team so we can check your install and make sure the Vue is installed correctly.

Correct, I was not consuming 4.3 KW in my balance.  I have talked to support and they did not have an answer for me.  They have reviewed my install, everything showed it was installed properly.   I was hoping that someone on here might have another solution.  From my historical data, it looks like the calculation formula in the app can not generate a percentage over 199%.
