Grid Flow Chart
What it shows
A pie of your grid energy over the chosen period, split into what you imported from the utility and what you exported back to it.
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 Grid Flow Chart, then click Add Widget.
Reading it
Two slices:
- Grid Import - energy drawn from the utility.
- Grid Export - energy sent back to the utility.
A large import slice means the site relied on the grid during that period. A large export slice means the site sent surplus solar back.
Use the D, M and Y buttons on the tile to switch between day, month and year, and the date picker beside them to choose the period. A period with no readings shows No Data For Selected Date.
Settings
Open the spanner icon on the tile:
- Data Period -
Daily,MonthlyorYearly. Starts onDaily, and matches the D, M and Y buttons. - Title - the name shown on the tile. Starts as
Grid Flow.
The two slices are fixed and cannot be changed.
Tips
Read this alongside Battery Flow Chart to see where surplus solar went: stored in the battery, or exported to the grid.
