The whole point of installing a home battery is to cut your bills and your carbon emissions. That makes your ability to monitor your home battery and your overall energy usage all the more important. Most home batteries will come with some form of energy monitoring software – apps, portals and the like. The batteries work without it.
If the amount you generate and store in your battery isn’t enough, you can still draw from the grid to meet your energy needs. The numbers suggest that too many of us remain unaware of the crucial role storage batteries play in the development of renewables.
As you’re out working in the office at this time, you’re not using the electricity generated. However, with your home battery, you can store it and discharge when you arrive home in the evening. If the amount you generate and store in your battery isn’t enough, you can still draw from the grid to meet your energy needs.
Of course, when the sun goes down or the weather is particularly bad, the solar PV can’t generate electricity, and you need to draw from the grid to power your home. A home battery means that you have solar energy stored to use before you need to take from the grid.
Most home batteries will come with some form of energy monitoring software – apps, portals and the like. The batteries work without it. But to get the most out of your battery, you should take advantage of whatever energy monitoring software is available. Monitoring your energy usage allows you to:
This could be caused by multiple electrical appliances that are consuming a lot of power. In this case we recommend you to perform the following steps: Check that the battery circuit breaker is ON. Check that the ON/OFF/P switch of the battery is in the ON position.
WTH is wrong with Energy Usage when Importing from Grid
The sudden jump in the battery energy charged makes sense, because the value increased by a significant amount since the previous data point. That could be an issue with how the energy sensor integrates, loss of connection or whatever, but doesn''t impact the way the Energy usage is displayed.
