How It Works

The Renewable Energy Dashboard provides comprehensive visibility into your on-site renewable assets. Track solar production, understand self-consumption versus grid export, and quantify the emissions avoided through your clean energy investments.

1

Register Renewable Assets

Add solar systems, battery storage, and other renewable assets through the Asset Registry. Specify system capacity (kW), battery storage (kWh), installation dates, and assign systems to specific facility nodes.

2

Upload Production Data

Import generation data from your solar monitoring system or inverter. The dashboard accepts production exports showing kWh generated, consumed on-site, and exported to grid.

3

View Generation Performance

Track year-to-date renewable energy production in kWh. The Monthly Solar Production chart breaks down generation by consumption type—what you used on-site versus what you exported to the grid.

4

Calculate Avoided Emissions

The system calculates CO₂ emissions avoided by generating clean energy instead of purchasing grid electricity. Tree-planting equivalents help communicate impact to non-technical stakeholders.

5

Monitor Renewable Contribution

Donut charts show your energy mix composition—what percentage comes from renewable generation versus grid electricity. Track your progress toward 100% renewable operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Renewable Energy Dashboard

What renewable energy assets can I track?
The dashboard primarily tracks on-site solar PV systems and battery storage. Register assets in the Asset Registry with system capacity (kW), battery storage (kWh), installation date, and facility assignment. Additional renewable types (small wind, etc.) can be accommodated—contact support for configuration.
How are avoided emissions calculated?
Avoided emissions represent the CO₂ that would have been emitted if you'd purchased grid electricity instead of generating clean energy. The calculation uses your state's grid emission factor multiplied by kWh generated and consumed on-site (not exported). Export to grid typically doesn't count toward your avoided emissions.
What data format does the dashboard accept?
Upload production data from your solar monitoring system or inverter in CSV or Excel format. Required fields include date/time, kWh generated, kWh consumed, and kWh exported. Most solar monitoring platforms (SolarEdge, Enphase, Fronius) can export in compatible formats.
What's the difference between self-consumption and export?
Self-consumption is renewable energy you generate and use on-site immediately. Export is excess generation sent back to the grid. Higher self-consumption rates typically mean better financial returns (avoiding retail electricity prices) and clearer environmental benefit (definitely displacing your grid usage).
How do I track multiple solar systems?
Register each system separately in the Asset Registry, assigning each to its facility node. The dashboard aggregates across all systems for portfolio-wide metrics while enabling drill-down to individual system performance.
Do avoided emissions count toward my carbon footprint reduction?
Avoided emissions represent emissions you didn't generate—they're separate from your actual footprint but important for stakeholder communication. Your Scope 2 Market-Based emissions already reflect renewable energy use. Avoided emissions help communicate the counterfactual impact.
Can I track purchased renewable energy certificates (RECs)?
RECs for purchased electricity affect your Market-Based Scope 2 calculation in the Electricity Dashboard. The Renewable Energy Dashboard focuses on on-site generation. Both are important parts of your renewable energy story.
What are tree-planting equivalents?
Tree equivalents translate avoided emissions into relatable terms. We use the EPA standard that one tree absorbs approximately 21kg of CO₂ per year. This metric helps communicate impact to non-technical audiences in annual reports and sustainability communications.
