Display

• Power: shows the real power in kW and the apparent power in kVA.
• Status: shows Importing when the plant takes power from the grid, and Exporting when the plant sends power to the grid.
• Rated power: shows the value of the Rated Power in kW setting.
• Percentage: shows the grid power as a percentage of the rated power, with an arc that shows the same percentage.
• No data: if no readings arrive, the tile shows Loading..., and then No Data Available.

Settings

The spanner icon on the tile opens these settings.

• Rated Power in kW: the rated power of the grid connection, in kW. The default is 0.

Tips

• Rated power not set: if the Rated Power in kW setting is empty, 0 or not a number, the tile shows Set Rated Power in Config. The tile then shows no Importing or Exporting, no rated power and no percentage, but the kW and kVA values continue to update. Set the rated power first, because the tile calculates the percentage from it.
