Position Designation Description
E Current power and cur-
rent consumption
Temporal progression of the PV power and the power
consumption of the household over the selected time pe-
riod. Please note, the power consumption will only be dis-
played if an energy meter is installed in the PV system.
F Status display The various areas display information on the current status
of the PV system.
• Device status
Displays whether the inverter is currently in a fault-
free operating state or whether there is an event type
Error or Warning present.
• Current power
Displays the power currently being generated by the
inverter.
• Current consumption
Displays the current consumption of the household if
an energy meter is installed in the PV system.
• Yield
Displays the energy yield of the inverter.
• Consumption
Displays the energy consumption of the household if
an energy meter is installed in the PV system.
• Feed-in management
Displays whether the inverter is currently limiting its
active power.
• Irradiation / wind speed
Depending on the connected sensors, displays the
current solar irradiation or wind speed.
• Temperature measurement
Depending on the connected sensors, displays the
current temperature of the PV modules and/or the
ambient temperature.
