Schander, Your suggestions are good (and appreciated). We are currently on the default fixed rate in Victoria (which, for now, I’m happy with). We are attempting to self-consume as much as we can.

Once we have optimised our arrangements (and consumption habits) I plan go into the sort of financial analysis you are sugg ...

Here is what doing the above got me for 29th Jul (chosen at random). Same definitions as before, except we are now looking at 30 min blocks.I think, for now, that's what I've been looking for. Thanks for all the suggestions (to this and other threads).

Schander, Thanks for that. At this stage, I'm mostly interested in the kWh produced in each 5 (or so) min block. (I've only had the panels for a few months). So "Daily Generation (Active)(kWh)" is the one to use, I gather. It seems to be the power generated from the beginning of the day to the time given in that row. I can use it to see what is generated over each 30 min block and compare it with the AGL data. It won't be really precise, because the AGL 30 min blocks always start on the hour or ...
