Solar panel production value occaisionally "spikes" to "full production" in mornings
See original GitHub issueVersion of the custom_component
v2.4.0 (latest)
Configuration
This is the sensor I add so I can use it in Energy:
- platform: integration
source: sensor.180779888555_solar_panel
name: tesla_solarpanels_new_kwh
unit_prefix: k
round: 2
Describe the bug
I am using the Tesla HACS plugin, and occasionally it (or Tesla?) reports like “full production” on my Tesla sensor, usually in the morning (this is from the sensor.180779888555_solar_panel
):
This obviously throws off my energy reporting for the day. I am not sure how to even edit/delete those incorrect data points. (I’m still somewhat new to HA) - but I’m wondering if this is some quirk/bug in this integration, or if Tesla’s API is returning this bad data? Either way, I suppose there should be some way of dealing with it.
Debug log
I do not have debug logs yet for this, but I will start doing so and report back.

I’ve been running the newer version and I haven’t seen it happen again- I’ll keep monitoring. Thanks again!
@nicholashead v2.4.1 is available which should fix this issue. Basically what I did was add a check that if your setup always reports
grid_status
ofUnknown
, then to ignore the piece of code mentioned above. So for our setups, we will always use the values Tesla’s servers are reporting.
