Electrical Generation Channel
Channel Category: electrical_generation
Reports energy production from a photovoltaic (PV) or other generation source. The production property tracks cumulative energy generated in kWh. An optional power property reports instantaneous generation output in watts. This channel is additive and does not affect existing electrical_energy or electrical_power channels on the same device.

Property Details
production
Cumulative total energy produced by the generation source since last counter reset, in kWh. Monotonically increasing under normal operation. Use reset_behavior to handle counter resets.
Optional Properties
| Property | Data Type | Range/Values | Unit | Permissions |
|---|---|---|---|---|
power | Float | 0–100000 | W | RO (Read-Only) |
active | Bool | - | - | RO (Read-Only) |

Property Details
power
Instantaneous active power output from the generation source in watts
active
Indicates if the channel/sensor is currently active and functioning
fault
Fault code or diagnostic indicator (0 = no fault)
