Overview
Under Overview, you have an overview of all the energy flows in your energy system. It is also the start page of the Manager portal.
Monitor generation, consumption, state of charge and many other variables in real time and on a daily basis.
Use the self-sufficiency and self-consumption parameters to evaluate and optimize your energy management.
With the SOLARWATT Manager portal, you have an overview of all your consumers and can easily and conveniently identify "energy guzzlers" and react to them in a targeted manner by switching these devices to PV-optimized or time-based in the Optimizer menu.
Energy balance diagram
The upper area of the overview shows you your energy balance diagram.
You can use the toggle switch at the top left to choose between displaying the power values (Now = kW) or the energy quantity values (Today = kWh).
| Self-sufficiency | Percentage of self-generated solar power in relation to total power consumption. 100% self-sufficiency means that the entire power requirement is self-generated and no power is drawn from the public grid. |
| Supply | Electricity purchased from the public grid |
| Direct consumption | Self-generated electricity that is consumed directly in the household or by the charging station and/or heat pump |
| Self-consumption | Percentage of self-generated solar power that is consumed in the household or saved by the battery. 100% self-consumption means that all self-generated electricity is consumed and/or saved by the producer and nothing is fed into the public grid. |
| Feed-in | Electricity fed into the public grid |
| Production | Electricity generated by the photovoltaic system |
| Used | Electricity provided by the battery |
| Stored | Self-generated solar power that flows directly from the photovoltaic system into the battery |
| Charging station | Electricity that is used for e-mobility |
| Feed-in | Symbolizes the point at which the surplus electricity from your photovoltaic system is fed into the public grid |
| Storage | Capacity utilization (state of charge) of the battery |
| Consumption | Electricity that is consumed directly in the household |
| Heat pump | Electricity used to operate the heat pump |
The energy flows are described by the two characteristic values of electrical work and electrical power.
| Power | The power [kW] indicates how much energy a component of the energy system provides or consumes. |
| Work | The electrical work [kWh] is power [kW] times time [h]; it indicates how much energy a component of the energy system has provided or consumed. In other words, the electrical work is the energy that is generated or consumed in a certain period of time. |
| Energy system | An energy system consists of the technical devices in a household that are connected to each other by energy flows and produce, consume and save electricity. |
My consumers
Display of power and working values
In the My consumers widget, you can see the current power consumption ("Now" tab) of individual devices. This requires integration into the energy management system. Ask your installer about the options for integrating consumers into the energy management system.
Use the tabs at the top to select different viewing periods (daily, monthly, yearly). For the daily value, the consumption data is added up from 00:00:00.
Switching devices
The following switching actions can be carried out in the My consumers widget:
| Device class | Switching action | Optimization mode |
|---|---|---|
| My power plug | Switching on / off | Currently not optimized |
| Override | PV optimized, time-based | |
| Shelly pm devices | Switching on / off | Currently not optimized |
| Override | PV optimized, time-based | |
| Heating elements | Override | PV optimized, time-based |
| Charging stations | Switching on / off | Currently not optimized |
| Override | PV optimized, time-based |
Optimization mode: Definition under Optimization
Override: Switching a device on or off once for a defined period of time (override optimization)
Backup mode
Setting the battery capacity reserved for backup mode (emergency power reserve): Emergency power reserve for backup mode operation
View in the dashboard
During backup power mode, the Backup active display appears on the battery widget as well as a visualization of the battery balance variable.
- Click on the text Backup active in the battery widget or on the house symbol in the battery balance to access the expanded view.
- The following information is displayed in the expanded view:
- Start time of Backup mode
- Possible duration of Backup mode with
- current consumption
- average weekly consumption
- absolute and relative state of charge of the battery system
View under Analytics
- In the dashboard, click on the battery balance size. This takes you to the Analytics section.
- The red bar below the diagram shows the periods with active Backup mode.
