[ 2 ] Grid Activity Section
This section displays the current status of your grid connection (A) and (B)
, how much grid electricity it is being brought into your property (importing) or being supplied back to the grid (exporting) (C), and the cost or income value of that electricity (D).
The cost of any imported grid electricity is based on your Grid Tariff*. Some grid tariffs have varying rates throughout a 24 hour period and these are reflecting in the displayed cost.
The income value of any exported electricity is based on your Grid Export Tariff*.
* The price of your Grid tariffs are based on the values you entered in the Grid Tariff Settings. If you are taking part in an EMS Pilot then your Grid Tariff Settings have already been preconfigured by Encom.
[ 3 ] Grid Charts Section
This section displays the historical record of your grid activity, when you imported grid electricity and at what cost, when you exported grid electricity and what income it generated for you, and a chart detailing the grid activity over a given period of time.
Using the date selector (A) you can view the grid activity for any given day, month, year, or the total performance since your the EMS was installed.
The summary table (B) details the total grid activity over a given time period, the amount that was imported, and the amount that was exported.
The column chart (C) presents the grid activity throughout a given day, month or year. Pressing any of the columns in the chart will update the summary table (B) above with the values for that time period.
