All Solar graphs output wrong values.
The current solar radiation is ok.
I have use this tool:
http://www.tnetweather.com/wd-parser.ph ... mit=Submit

Reading the values from this parser, seems that Metephub is not writing the correct values.

Can someone help me?

Hi,
I browsed you data and couldn't find something wrong (as far as I can analyze thousands of data)?

What value do you think is wrong in the files clientraw, clienthour, clientextra, clientdaily?

If it is ok now, Meteohub might have already been in recomputation mode while you looked for the first time.

Analyzing Clientrawextra.txt on field 491 to 510 all Solar wm/2 are wrong, it looks that they are 10% the correct value.
Yesterday the highest solar radiation, verified on VP2 was 506wm/2 and on field 494 you will see 50.6, so I think all Hour values are using a 0.1 factor.

Values from field 578 to 585 looks to also wrong.

From Clientrawdaily.txt fields 373 to 400 are also wrong. We did have sunny skies from most of the time this week, so the values are very small...

Also wrong is the %Solar calculation. I did cheat the Long. Latitude to give near 100% at noon. If I put may correct Long and Lat I will get near 120% at noon.

Thanks for your support

You are right on solar graphs in WD-Live. Will be fixed with update 3.1b.

The percent calculation resides on a given formula. If you have a better one, please let me know.

Thanks... I will wait for the the new patch 3.1b

The % Solar is not a big issue, but I will think on a goog formula and let you know.

Thanks for your support

My guess is, that you are not aware of diffuse and direct radiation.
With clouds there, your solarmeter normally shows a higher than expected global radiation.
That means, the percentage value makes only sense with a clear sky!
