CW Monitor - Energy monitoring for your solar system
CW Monitor is an unofficial app for those of you who have a solar system connected to CheckWatt and EnergyInBalance. Follow your production, your battery and your grid exchange in real time - directly on your phone or on your home screen.
DASHBOARD
Get an instant overview of how the energy is flowing in your system right now:
• Solar production (W/kW)
• Battery status and state of charge (SOC)
• Import and export to the grid
• Household consumption
• Time series for the day - see the solar curve, battery and grid hour by hour
SPOT PRICE
See today's and tomorrow's spot prices quarter by quarter in a clear bar graph. The price is shown with or without VAT and is color-coded from green (cheap) to red (expensive) so you can quickly see when it pays to use electricity.
ECONOMY
Follow your compensation from CheckWatt:
• Daily, weekly, monthly and annual income
• Breakdown by service (FCR-D, mFRR, Savings, etc.)
