• Lines: solid lines show W and dashed lines show VA. Grid W, Load W and PV W have a shaded area.
• Grid W colour: the line shows red above zero and yellow below zero.
• Storage C W colour: the line shows blue above zero and green below zero.
• Other colours: the generator is beige, the load is blue, the PV is green and the SOC is yellow.
• Time axis: a new reading enters at the right, and the oldest reading leaves at the left.
• Power axis: if the largest value is above 1000, the axis shows the values in thousands, without a unit.
• SOC line: Storage % shows the battery state of charge on its own scale.
• Tooltip: shows the time and each line with its value in kW, kVA or %, the highest first. The chart has no legend.
• Date: the chart has no date picker and no period buttons, because it shows only live readings. The Dashboard date control does not change this chart.
• No data: if no readings arrive, the tile shows Loading..., and then No Data Available.
