Load Analysis

What it shows

A pie showing what actually supplied your load over the chosen period. It follows the priority order PV, then battery, then generator, then grid, so each slice is the share of your consumption that came from that source, not raw production. If solar covered the whole load, the pie shows 100% PV.

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 Load Analysis, then click Add Widget.

Reading it

Each slice is a source that fed the load:

• PV - solar used directly by the site.
• Storage Balance - energy drawn from the battery.
• Generator - energy from the generator, if fitted.
• Grid Import - the balance drawn from the utility.

Solar is used first and the grid only covers what is left over, so a large grid slice means the site leaned on the utility. Under the title the chart prints the total load for the period, for example Daily Load: 24.1 kWh.

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.

Settings

Open the spanner icon on the tile:

• Data Period - Daily, Monthly or Yearly. Starts on Daily.
• Title - the name shown on the tile. Starts as Load Carbon Balance.
