Energy Charts

The energy charts section of your Live Dashboard shows historical energy data for your Tesla site — letting you spot patterns, review past performance, and understand how your automations affected your energy usage.

Chart types

Grid Getter shows energy data across four time resolutions:

View	Data interval	Maximum lookback
5-minute	Every 5 minutes	Last 7 days
Hourly	Hourly totals	Last 30 days
Daily	Daily totals	Last 90 days
Monthly	Monthly totals	Last 12 months

Switch between views using the tabs above the chart.

What the charts show

Each chart displays several data series that you can toggle on and off:

Solar production — electricity generated by your solar panels (kW or kWh depending on view)
Grid import — power drawn from the utility grid
Grid export — power sent to the grid (selling excess solar)
Battery charge/discharge — power flowing into or out of your Powerwall
Home consumption — your home’s total electricity usage

Reading the data

Positive values represent energy flowing in a particular direction as labeled (e.g., grid import means you’re drawing from the grid).

Battery discharge appears when your Powerwall is powering your home — this is typically what happens during demand periods or peak hours when DemandGuard or a Peak Time automation is active.

Data gaps

If you see gaps in your chart data, it usually means:

Your Tesla system was offline during that period
The data hasn’t finished syncing yet (can take up to a few hours)
Grid Getter’s connection to Tesla was temporarily interrupted

Using charts with automations

The energy charts are a great way to evaluate how your automations are performing. For example:

After setting up a DemandGuard automation, check the 5-minute chart during a demand period to see if battery discharge offset your grid draw
After a Peak Time automation runs, look at the hourly chart to see if your battery reserve was in place during the peak window
Compare daily totals before and after adding automations to measure impact
