Solar System Monitor
Live Status
- Battery SOC
- the battery's fuel gauge (min = today's lowest).
- Solar
- what the solar panels are producing right now.
- Inverter 1 out
- power going to the circuits on the main inverter.
- Other (net)
- everything else combined: the second inverter's circuits and any external chargers. Inputs and loads can cancel, so this isn't total usage.
- Battery (net)
- what the battery is doing right now: + charging, − draining.
- Why the numbers don't add up
- the readings are taken on different sides of the equipment that converts power. Solar is measured at the panels, before the controllers; the inverter figure is what reaches your circuits, not what it drew from the battery to get there. Some power is lost as heat along the way, and a couple of these figures are estimates, so solar minus your loads won't match the battery figure exactly. That's expected.
- Green / red labels
- on the Battery (net) and Other (net) labels, green means power is coming in and red means it's going out. They mark direction, not trouble.
- AC / DC
- the battery side runs on DC power; house circuits run on AC. The tag on each line says which side you're looking at.
- Solar Chargers
- the solar charge controllers' mode. "Silent" just means they're resting (normal at night).
- Last full
- how long since the battery was last completely charged.
- Green dot / Online
- the monitor itself is healthy; "Updated Xs ago" is the reading's age. This is about the monitor, not the battery.
