For reasons best known to Confusious, they like GwH, irritates the ***** out of me...

so does all the solis app readings show gwh and mwh as the consumption values then

It's not unique to Solis, all the manufacturers seem to use these units.

OK thank binky another query the plant type on the app is storage or residential as the solis is ac coupled battery only not solar pv aswell the solar is enphase micro inverters

It seems absolutely fine, we do have good WiFi here and stream to TV's etc at the same time, no issues.

It's only units of measure, SMA do the same. Personally I've always found it very irritating, you install a 4kw system and expect it to produce around 4000kwh a year , and then some twot decides to show the figures in GwH...
