21�1 Initial yield
This function manually imports initial yields from previous recorded daily data into the Solar-Log. This is
useful any time that a large amount of data has to be changed and would take too long with the "Data
correction" function.
The Data import deletes the existing data memory completely before the daily data is imported from a
CSV file. Therefore, the data import should be carried out immediately after the startup of Solar-Log™.
The Initial yield can contain production, consumption or self-consumption values.
Note
A data import can only be made if all inverters have been correctly detected and config-
ured or if a valid system configuration has been imported.
The data has to be in the CSV format for the import. Files in the CSV format can be created with simple
text editors or spreadsheet programs like MS Excel or Open Office Calc.
The import file must consist of individual rows of text, in which the date and daily yield value in "Wh" (not
kWh!) are separated by semicolons (CSV format).
Example:
DD.MM.YY; Production in Wh;Consumption in Wh; Self-consumption in Wh
01.04.13;136435;264371;33684
02.04.13;138219;213145;43476
etc.
Note: Here, the year value should also consist of 4 digits.
