Display

• PV: the green slice shows the solar energy to the load.
• Storage Balance: the dark yellow slice shows the battery discharge to the load.
• Generator: the beige slice shows the generator energy to the load.
• Grid Import: the dark red slice shows the grid energy for the rest of the load.
• Order of sources: the load goes to PV first, then to the battery, then to the generator. The grid supplies the rest.
• Calculation: the chart shares the load for each hour, day or month of the period, and adds the results.
• Empty sources: if a source supplied no energy, the chart does not show its slice.
• Labels: each slice shows its name and its energy in kWh, or in MWh for large values. The chart has no legend.
• Tooltip: shows the energy of a slice.
• Subtitle: shows the period and the total load, for example Daily Load: 24.10 kWh.
• Period buttons: D, M and Y show a day, a month or a year.
• Date picker: the arrows move one period back or forward, and a click on the date opens a calendar. You cannot pick a future date.
• Dashboard date control: the chart follows the date in the Dashboard top bar.
• No data: if the period has no readings, the chart shows No Data For Selected Date.
