Home Dashboard at a Glance

The Home page is your live view of the whole system: where your energy is coming from, where it is going, and how your battery is doing — right now.

Home dashboard with the live energy flow

Live energy flow

The house illustration shows real-time power on four points, updated continuously:

PointMeaning
SolarPower currently generated by your PV panels
BatteryPower flowing into (Charging) or out of (Discharging) the battery, with the current state of charge (%) — Standby means the battery is idle
HomePower your household is consuming right now
GridPower exchanged with the grid — Import (buying) or Export (selling)

Animated lines between the house, battery and grid show which way energy is flowing at this moment.
