Add a production-measured efficiency curve for the Marstek Venus A derived from HA recorder data on two units (Sept 2026): SoC-based calibration showed efficiency_factor > 1.0 on both batteries, calibration correction factor capped at 1.0492. Community curve scaled by ×1.0492 gives one-way efficiency of 0.954 at the 500–800 W plateau (RTE 91 %) vs 0.909 (RTE 83 %) in the community curve. Also add docs/efficiency-analysis-from-db.md explaining the two-pronged methodology: hourly SQL queries against the statistics table for dispatch fidelity, and Python parsing of .storage calibration files for the SoC-based efficiency factor — so the analysis can be repeated in future.
