Daily Status
See in a flash how much energy was imported from the utility and produced by your system using solar panels. You may also view how much energy your household used that day if your system incorporates energy consumption monitoring. Additionally, you may view the charge of your batteries if you have a storage option.
Depending on the choices you have installed on your Enphase system, the status page may differ from what you see in your app. For instance, you might not have batteries or consumption monitoring installed in your system.
Or you might have a battery-free system with consumption monitoring.
Finally, you may have a system with both consumption monitoring and batteries installed.
Energy Tab
Let’s now examine the energy tab, which is located at the bottom of the screen. This page displays a graph with the various energy components like production, consumption, import, and export from the grid, for your system throughout the selected time period.
● The left and right arrows let you choose through recent days, while the calendar icon lets you go to a specific day.
● The energy data for your system can also be viewed for a particular week, month, year, or whole lifespan.
● To match the energy statistics from your system with your billing cycle or any other custom period of your choosing, use the custom period option.
● For each of the several energy components, infographics similar to those on the status screen are used in the top part.
● You can view energy and power information for the selected period by putting your finger on the designated spot on the graph. The energy numbers are displayed in the shifting infographics above the graph, and power information for the highlighted period is displayed in a pop-up message. Kilowatt hours of energy are shown on the graph. Kilowatts are used to measure power in the pop-up message.
● To watch how the power and energy change with the time of day, move your finger across the graph.
● You can also change how energy is displayed. Toggle different energy components on or off using the toggle button.
● The currency equivalent widget, located further down the screen, turns the energy components of your system into their corresponding monetary values.
Simply enter a one-time conversion factor to use this widget. You can enable the widget view using the toggle button on the settings page by tapping the “set currency conversion factor” link, after which you can set the conversion factor. The average cost per kilowatt hour that your utility assesses you for importing electricity from the grid is typically used as the conversion factor.
● You can visit Enphase Community for additional details.
● The currency equivalent widget, located further down the screen, turns the energy components of your system into their corresponding monetary values.
