Tags

For monthly meter data to appear in the solar dashboards and the Solar Performance and Payback report, all meters must be tagged with a solar tag. There are 4 tags available: 

• Grid Consumed

• Solar Generated

• Solar Consumed

• Solar Exported

Location Settings

Most information specified for a solar installation is configured at the location level, such as feed in tariff rates, grid electricity rates, inverter manufacturers, etc.

Solar settings

Navigate to the Solar Settings page through the right-click menu in a locations grid

or from the Location Summary page Actions menu.
