The **PV** dashboard focuses on solar production and market pricing.

### What this dashboard shows

-   **Solar production and prediction**: chart compares measured PV output with the forecasted production for the selected period.
-   **Injection and consumption prices (EPEX day-ahead)**: chart displays day-ahead market prices for energy injection and consumption. This helps determine when selling to or buying from the grid is profitable.

> **Note**
>
> Use the date-range picker to analyse historical PV performance and price trends.

### Frequently asked questions

**Where can I find how much energy my PV installation has produced?**

Open the **PV dashboard** to see the measured solar production for the selected day, week or month. For a summary of total production over a period, use the **consumption report**, which includes PV production alongside other key energy indicators.

**Where can I see how much of my PV production was curtailed?**

Curtailed production is visible directly on the **PV dashboard**. The **Analysis → Advanced → Algorithm** screen additionally shows the relationship between energy prices and production decisions in detail.

**Where can I find the energy prices?**

The PV dashboard shows the EPEX day-ahead injection and consumption prices in a dedicated chart, provided your energy contract supports price-based optimisation. You can select any historical date range to review past prices.

**How do I adjust the time period shown in a chart?**

Use the date-range picker or period selector (day, week, month, year) above the chart to change the time period. On Pro dashboard screens, you can also zoom into a specific part of the chart by selecting a region directly on the graph.
