Generally speaking, yes. Realize that these readings are samples, and actual power generation/consumption may vary, but with this sampling interval most of the variations should average out over a number of readings.

That said, if you have a kWh meter attached to this system, it should be better than periodic sampling.

That deserves a GA, to the point, correct and succint, including the last para. Nothing can be added. I have to wait and see whether CR4 members marks this
