Frequently Asked Questions
MyGen gives you insights into your solar system. You can view in-depth energy production data in 15-minute intervals to have greater insight into your energy generation. You can use this data to monitor your solar system, compare against energy usage, troubleshoot high bills, track the impact of a change in solar generation and evaluate the effect of energy-related investments.
To compare your solar generation to your metered usage, navigate to Advanced Controls at the bottom of the Usage Dashboard under the My Consumption Data tab in the top left of the page.
Within the Lower Chart View (bottom right), select Generation from the drop-down menu to display your solar production below your usage graph.
You may notice differences in the readings at the MyGen production meter from those displayed on the solar inverter or dashboard your solar company provides. This is typically due to differences in the timeframe of the data being measured and any losses between the inverter and the meter.
By subscribing to MyGen, you can view metered generation from your solar system and use this information to troubleshoot with your solar installer.
