The MyAccount portal offers an invaluable feature for users: the ability to export detailed data from their Myenergi devices. This functionality allows users to obtain and review a comprehensive dataset, providing insights into various aspects of their energy consumption and generation. This article will explore the various data points available for export and their implications, as well as the flexibility in choosing export options.
Accessing Data Reports
To utilise the data export feature, users must first log in to the MyAccount portal using the same credentials as their Myenergi app. Once logged in, navigate to the Data Reports section located at the bottom left of the screen if you are using a desktop computer. This section provides access to the various export options and data points described below.
-
Data Coverage (%)
Meaning: This metric indicates the completeness of the data recorded during the specified period. It is calculated as the number of actual data points collected divided by the expected number of data points. For example, if you expect to collect data every second (3600 data points per hour) but only get data for 2000 seconds, the data coverage would be 55%. This measure helps assess the reliability of the data collected. -
Net Grid Import (Wh)
Meaning: This value shows the total amount of energy (in watt-hours) imported from the grid into your system during the period. It tracks the energy drawn from the grid independently, regardless of any energy that might be exported back to the grid. This distinction is crucial as energy supplier billing typically tracks import and export separately. -
Net Grid Export (Wh)
Meaning: This figure represents the total amount of energy (in watt-hours) exported back to the grid from your system. Like grid import, this value is recorded independently and reflects the energy you contribute to the grid, separate from any energy you might import. -
Net Generation (Wh)
Meaning: This measures the total energy (in watt-hours) generated by your system. It encompasses the sum of energy used, exported, and any losses or inefficiencies. This provides a comprehensive view of your system’s total output. -
Hybrid Inverter Load (Wh)
Meaning: This data point indicates the energy (in watt-hours) handled by the hybrid inverter, which manages both solar and battery storage systems. It reflects the load that the inverter is managing during the period. -
External CT Readings
Meaning: External Current Transformers (CTs) monitor energy flows within different parts of your system. These readings are divided into positive and negative energy flows: Positive Energy (Wh): This represents the positive energy flow detected by the CTs. It includes the amount of energy consumed or used in various circuits or areas. Negative Energy (Wh): This reflects the negative energy flow recorded by the CTs, indicating energy losses or consumption in different sections of the system. External CT Types: The data from various CT types (Type 1, Type 2, Type 3) is collected in the same manner, with positive and negative readings tracked separately to provide detailed insights into energy usage and losses. -
Frequency (cHz)
Meaning: This metric displays the frequency of the electrical system (in cycles per hour). It is crucial for ensuring the stability and efficiency of your electrical system. -
Voltage (V) (Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3)
Meaning: This data shows the voltage (in volts) on each phase of your system. Monitoring voltage is important for detecting any deviations that could impact system performance. -
Diverted Energy (Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3) (Wh)
Meaning: These metrics represent the amount of solar energy (in watt-hours) diverted to each phase of your system. It provides insight into how much energy from your solar generation is redirected for use, divided by the three phases of your electrical system. -
Boosted Energy (Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3) (Wh)
Meaning: These data points indicate the energy (in watt-hours) delivered due to a boost for each phase of your system. For instance, a timed boost might increase the energy supplied to cover higher demand during specific periods.
Flexibility in Data Export
Users can export data for any period up to 12 months, or since the registration of their hub if this date is closer.
This flexibility ensures that users can access and review data from various timeframes to suit their needs. Additionally, the exported data can be sent to any email address, not necessarily the one associated with the MyAccount profile. This allows for greater convenience and adaptability in managing and sharing your energy data.
