What is “direct consumption” and what is the difference between that and “consumption”?
Your “direct consumption” is the share of energy consumed directly from your PV system. Your consumption is your total consumption of energy from your PV system, national grid or any other source. For example, if your PV system generates 3kW and you consume 1.5 kW then your direct consumption is 1.5 kW. If your consumption increases to 4 kW, assuming your PV system maintains its 3 kW generation, then your direct consumption is 3 kW but consumption is 4kW.
What is autarky?
Autarky is the term used to describe self-sufficiency. It is the amount of self-generated energy your consume from your PV system.
Why can’t I download any documents or statistics from a Bluetooth Madsun Power battery?
The statistics are not available to download because with the help of the portal or the Bluetooth App you can view daily, weekly, monthly and even annual data whenever you need.
How do I change my Battery Code?
