Accessing data for a replaced inverter

I had my Inverter replaced after a week because the Ethernet wouldn’t work. Now, I can only see data relating to the new Inverter. How can I get to see the previous Inverter’s data?

If the replacement inverter was commissioned with the same serial number as the old one, then all the data should still be in the portal - but any data whilst the inverter was offline is lost

but if the installer has commissioned you with a new serial number inverter then your account may only be registered now to your new inverter and presumably they have removed the old serial number inverter from your account in which case the data won’t be accessible. Maybe GivEnergy can still export the information for you from their database

Thanks. They gave it a new serial number.

I managed to get the data I was after (generation by day) by looking at the HA entities for the original inverter (which have all changed with the serial No!) from the GivTCP Integration despite it often crashing at the time.

If you have Home Assistant and all the data is in there then you could move your old daily or total data onto the new entities so you have contiguous data in the Energy dashboard.

Does require a bit care but its entirely doable

I’ve no idea how I would do that. SQL perhaps.

It’s the start of new year tomorrow and I hope to get contiguous data from now on. I’ve got GE-Cloud running alongside GivTCP which I only restarted today but hasn’t crashed yet!

Happy new year.

Happy New Year to you too

I’ve already done all the hard work investigating and writing up how to do this, see Loading, Manipulating, Recovering and Moving Long Term Statistics in Home Assistant - Community Guides - Home Assistant Community

Scenario 5 would do what you want. If the data was still accessible in the portal then you could use scenario 3.

It’s a combination of SQL and spreadsheet manipulation

Wow, there’s a lot to digest there! I’ve been looking for something like that for ages to cover Glitches in my data.

I don’t think I will bother for 2025 as I only had the system installed on the 8th Dec. But I will for 2026 since I just did a restart on HA and something decided to rename all the entities associated with my Inverter. EG sensor.givtcp_fdxxxxayyy_pv_power became sensor.givtcp2_fdxxxxayyy_pv_power. I’ve only lost 2 days worth of data but still…

Thanks
