History: Understanding your Consumption
The next tab is the History tab. This graph
represents a history of your home energy
consumption, solar system PV production,
sonnenBatterie discharge, and sonnenBatterie
State of Charge in real time.
Depending on the mode of operation - Self-
consumption, Backup, or Time of Use - the typical
unit consumption and discharge should look
differently, an example of a battery set to self-
consumption is provided in a subsequent section.
Time Settings
For each graph, starting from the top, is the
time increment setting. This allows you to change
which time increment you would like to view, and
will provide you with a view of your home history
per day, week, month, or year. You can view
previous data outside of this range by using the
arrowed tabs at the bottom, which will move to
previous days based on the time indicated.
Graph Axes
The y-axis (vertical axis) on the left side of the
history graph is the power measured in kilowatts.
Therefore, this is the rate at which energy is
generated or consumed. The x-axis (horizontal
axis) tells you which day is represented by the
history graph. The y-axis on the right side of the
graph corresponds to the sonnenBatterie State of
Charge, which will be covered in the next section.
Graph Color Definitions
The graph itself will indicate when the
sonnenBatterie is charging (the area colored in
green) and discharging (the area colored in red)
as well as your home energy consumption (the
area colored in blue) and solar PV production (the
area colored in yellow). The purple line represents
the State of Charge of the battery, which reflects
battery performance and how much energy is
remaining on the battery.
A color guide is also located below the graph.
You can click each indicator to view or hide this
information from the history graph.
Production Pie Chart
Below the history graph are two pie charts,
one labeled ‘Production’ and the other labeled
‘Consumption.’ Example charts are located below.
The Production graph indicates how much
energy was produced by your solar system overall,
your PV self-consumption, and your grid feed-in.
The section labeled ‘Self-consumption’
represents the proportion of your solar energy
that was either stored by the sonnenBatterie
or consumed in your home. The section labeled
'Feed-in' represents the proportion of solar energy
produced that was fed back into the grid.
