Beside many bugfixes and under-the-hood code improvements, the Solar driver has had some significant improvements. But the biggest change is the implementation of Import versus Export spot prices:
My provider (FrankEnergy) pays me a lower fee when I export energy to the grid compared to what I have to pay when importing from the grid. The yellow line shows the export (feedback) price. All drivers and devices that use tariffs, like power summarizers, solar and battery, now automatically use the active tariff based on whether your main meter is reporting import (positive power) or export (negative power). This increases the accuracy of the money values over time. When you always want to use export or import prices, you can select that in the device settings.
This is really a huge code change, so please let me know if you find any issues.
