Calculation using external heat meters (“SolarFlow”= 999)

Any heat meter provides the heating power signal measured in [kW] or [W]. You can connect this power signal to the input “SolarPower” to calculate the real solar panel power and energy.


In this configuration we have to consider two different cases:

Action

the heat meter is designed for water

The values of the heat power and are higher values than the real ones and we have to apply a correction factor.

special solar panel heat meter

You do not need this macro!

You can connect the solar power directly to the solar macro input and the solar energy to a “TTA_Statistics” or “TTB_Statistics” .
