How is Consumption calculated on the VRM Dashboard

Is the consumption shown on the dashboard the total consumption or does it exclude those circuit breakers not backed-up?

Hi there,

I have a related question regarding the consumption data shown on the VRM dashboard. If I select the ¨System Overview¨Tab, the kWh shown in the "From Grid" box (837 kWh) is different than the kWh (768 kWh) shown in the "From Grid" box when I click on the "Consumption" tab. Why is there a difference? Which (between the two) would be the real kWh drawn from the grid, i.e. supplied by the electricity company?

Just as an explanation, prior to October, my system functioned just as a UPS connected to the grid. In October I installed solar panels and since then I have gone off-grid.

Best regards,

@CarloM

Sorry for a really late reply.

Basically if it is not wired electrically through the Victron it is not counted. Some people separate out circuits in their db so their vrm stats only show what was produced and consumed in those specific circuits.

For instance a 3kva can be set to only run all the lights and a plug point for the TV and fridge.

The house consumes 40kwh of power (according to the power providers meter) and the circuits chosen will be about 6 or 7kwh. This counted by the victron itself.
