Energy Production & Consumption

What it shows

A bar chart of energy broken into intervals. Each bar is how much energy moved in that interval, so you can see when your solar produced and when the site used most.

This is energy over time. For live power right now, use Real-Time Aggregated Power. For historical power lines, use Power Analytics.

Where to find it

Open Dashboard, click the pencil in the dashboard top bar to enter edit mode, click Add New Widget, search the picker for Energy Production & Consumption, then click Add Widget.

Reading it

Use the D, M and Y buttons on the tile for a day, a month or a year, and the date picker beside them to choose which one. The header names the period, for example Daily: Interval Energy.

Read the bars across the day to see the shape of your site: solar rising through the middle of the day, load in the mornings and evenings, and where the grid filled the gap.

The chart toolbar switches the bars to a line, and the download icon saves the data as an Excel workbook.

Settings

Open the spanner icon on the tile:

• Chart Title - the name shown on the tile. Starts as Interval Energy.
• Energy unit - Wh, VAh or VArh. Starts on Wh.
• A switch per source: PV, PV Prediction, Load, Grid Export, Grid Import, Generator, Storage Charge, Storage Discharge and Load Prediction. A new tile starts with PV and PV Prediction on and the rest off.
