Voltmasters Platform
Energy meter dashboard
The Energy meters dashboard in the Voltmasters EMS: import, export and peak power per meter, plus an indicative energy cost.
Under Energy meters, you can view each meter's import and export behaviour.
What this dashboard shows
- Each meter has its own panel with import and export graphs and metrics. For example, the head meter shows energy drawn from the grid, energy fed back to the grid, and peak power.
- Additional meters are listed in the same way, with their own graphs.
- Next to the metrics, each panel shows an indicative energy cost: what that meter's import cost, what its export earned, and the net of the two. These amounts are an indication based on the energy contract entered for the project, not a settlement. See Energy cost on the energy meter dashboard.
Use the dropdown at the top to switch between daily, weekly, or monthly views.

Frequently asked questions
Where can I find how much energy I have drawn from or injected into the grid?
Open the Energy Meter dashboard and look at the grid meter panel. The graph for the grid meter shows both directions: energy drawn from the grid (import) and energy fed back to the grid (export/injection), along with peak power figures. Select daily, weekly or monthly views using the dropdown at the top.
Where can I find data for wind energy production?
Wind energy is measured via the inverter or meter connected to your wind turbine. Open the energy meter dashboard or the device panel for the meter or inverter that your installer has linked to the wind turbine. There is no dedicated "wind turbine" menu item. The correct panel depends on how your installation has been configured.
Why does the energy cost differ from my supplier's invoice?
The amounts on this dashboard are an indication, not a settlement. They value your metered energy at the contract you entered in the platform, and they only cover the volumetric part of a bill. Capacity tariff, fixed standing charges and imbalance are not part of them. Energy cost on the energy meter dashboard explains exactly what is and is not included.
