System and settings

What the dongle has read from your inverter and your battery.

Inverter

Model, serial number, rated power, phases, firmware, and whether the inverter's clock is right.

Battery

The capacity as the battery management system (BMS) measures it, the measured capacity from the last 14 days of charging and discharging, modules, health and the limits in the inverter. The plan calculates with the measured capacity.

Grid and export

Whether the inverter limits selling to the grid, and what its own limit is.

Dongle

Whether the dongle is online, its number and firmware, and when it last reported in.

1. 1
   Read the top of the page

   When the dongle last read the inverter. If the dongle can't read the inverter, or the inverter itself reports a fault or warning, it says so just below.

2. 2
   Press Read again

   When you have changed something on the system, for example added another battery module. The dongle reads within a couple of minutes, and it says Read again, or that there's a change.

The dongle also reads the system by itself every 6 hours and every time it starts.

What the dongle has found changed between two readings.

Under Changes to the system you'll find, for example, a different inverter, a new rated power, a battery that has been added or removed, more or fewer modules, a changed capacity and new inverter firmware, and when the panel check has optimised your panels. If it's something the plan calculates with, the plan is redone straight away, and you get a notification. You can turn off the Change to the system notification under Notifications.

The more precise, the better the solar forecast. Each roof surface with panels is a string.

1. 1
   Press Choose address or Change address

   Enter the street name, number and town, and choose the address from the list that appears after 3 characters.

2. 2
   Press Edit next to a string

   The string then opens.

3. 3
   Choose Orientation

   Press the point of the compass, or enter the degrees under Exact orientation. South is 180°, east 90° and west 270°.

4. 4
   Choose Tilt

   0° is flat, 90° is vertical. An ordinary Danish roof is 25-45°. Press an angle, or enter the exact one.

5. 5
   Enter Power

   The total power of the panels on that surface, for example 12 panels of 410 W = 4.9 kW.

6. 6
   More roof surfaces

   Press + Add a string for each surface. Remove deletes a string.

7. 7
   Press Save

   The bar with Save and Undo appears when you have changed something. The next forecast calculates with the new figures, and Expected per year is recalculated.

If you don't know the exact figures, a good guess is better than nothing. The forecast learns from what the system actually produces, and the panel check can correct the figures.

GridZeno compares each string's production with the sun that actually shone, and checks whether orientation and tilt match.

The check starts by itself when the dongle sends the production per string. It counts days with clear sun for at least an hour until there are 10, and the measured sun is only known 2 days later, so a day counts 3 days later at the earliest. In winter it can take until spring.

Matches

The panels match the measurements. Nothing is changed.

Optimised

GridZeno has corrected the figures itself, and the forecast runs on them. You get a notification, and the figures you entered are shown with each string.

Suggestion or Uncertain

The measurements point to other figures. It's up to you: press Use the optimised figures, if you want to use them.

Take a look

The measurements don't match your panels, and nothing has been changed. Check the figures under Location and panels.

1. 1
   To go back, press Go back to the entered figures

   On the Panel check card or at the top of Location and panels. GridZeno then doesn't optimise by itself again.

2. 2
   If you have moved or replaced panels, press Check the panels again

   The check starts over and collects 10 days again.

If a string produces as if it faces a different way than it does, it's often shade, for example from a tree in the morning. The forecast is then also more accurate with the optimised figures.

Whether the dongle is running, and what you can do if it isn't.

Status at the top

The dongle is running, is running with a warning (for example weak Wi-Fi or too low a voltage), can't read the inverter, or hasn't reported in. If something is wrong, there's a Write to support button with the dongle's number in the message.

How to get the dongle back

Only shown when the dongle is offline: check the power, cut the power for 10 seconds, and what to do with a new router or a new Wi-Fi password.

Connection

Last heard from, Wi-Fi signal and how often the Wi-Fi has dropped out.

Power and start-up

How long it has been running, start-ups in the last 24 hours and why it last started.

The dongle

Number, firmware and an installation guide for your inverter. The dongle installs new versions by itself.

If the internet goes down

What the dongle does without internet, according to your choice under Automatic.

The dongle's own page

Press Open the dongle's page from a phone or computer on the same network, and log in with the dongle's number.

1. 1
   Switch to a new dongle

   Under Change or remove the dongle you press Remove the dongle and confirm.

2. 2
   Pair the new one

   Enter the new dongle's number in Pair your dongle, and press Pair the dongle. Your subscription continues in the meantime, but until a dongle is paired, GridZeno gets no measurements, and the system isn't controlled.

What your buying and selling price is made of. Everything is saved as you choose.

1. 1
   Choose Price area

   West Denmark (DK1) for Jutland and Funen, East Denmark (DK2) for Zealand, the islands and Bornholm.

2. 2
   Choose Grid company

   The company that owns the cables to your house. It's on your electricity bill. Without it, GridZeno only shows the spot price.

3. 3
   Choose your Electricity contract

   Press Choose from the list, search for your supplier, and choose the contract. If it isn't there, or the figure has changed, press Enter it yourself and enter the markup per kWh in øre, with or without VAT, as it says on your bill.

4. 4
   Choose Buyer of surplus power

   The one who pays you for the power you send out. Choose from the list, or enter the buyer's deduction per kWh yourself. If the buyer adds something on top of the spot price, enter it with a minus in front.

5. 5
   Check Your price right now

   At the bottom is the price for the current quarter hour, split into spot price, tariffs, duty, markup and VAT, both when you buy and when you sell.

If you change something that moves a price, the plan is redone straight away. A fixed monthly subscription isn't included in the price per kWh.

The household and what uses a lot of power. The consumption forecast calculates with it.

1. 1
   Fill in Household

   How many of you live there, and the home's heated floor area (listed in BBR). Below the fields, it says what the household uses per day without heating and electric car.

2. 2
   Choose your equipment under Your equipment

   Electric car, Heat pump, Electric heating, Pool or spa and Other. Each choice gets its own card with questions.

3. 3
   Fill in the cards

   Electric car: driving per day, consumption per 100 km, the charger's power and when it charges. Heat pump: type, what it heats, and the consumption per year. Electric heating: whether it's the main heating. Pool: power, hours and season. Below each card is an estimate.

4. 4
   Press Save

   If there are red fields, correct them first.

Until we have measured your consumption for a couple of weeks, the consumption forecast is based on what you enter here. After that, it's based on the measurements, but the heat pump and electric heating still follow the weather forecast.
