Optimisation history explained

If the consumer has optimisation enabled, they can view how their devices are being optimised and track their savings.

This is the record of all of the actions the optimisation feature has taken on the battery, and when the battery was taking the action.

These are the actions optimisation may take:

Charge from Solar
- Battery charges only from Solar; this mode may also be seen overnight, as it prevents the battery from discharging to the grid or home. Ensuring the battery is full for when it's needed most.
Charge from Grid and Solar
- Battery continues charging from solar while also pulling power from the grid.
Discharge for Usage
- Allows the battery to discharge into the home for general usage.
Discharge for Usage and Grid
- Continues to allow home usage from the battery while also discharging to the grid, earning you money from your export tariff.
Balance Solar and Usage
- The battery charges up if the home is producing more PV energy than it's using, and discharges if the home is using more than it's producing, aiming to keep the system as self-sufficient as possible. This is the standard setting for home batteries.
