IAMMETER solar PV reports help users understand the financial and energy performance of a home solar system.
The reports answer practical questions:

IAMMETER-Cloud reports connect energy data with electricity cost.
| Question | Report value |
|---|---|
| How much electricity did the home buy from the grid? | Grid Consumption |
| How much solar energy was exported? | Exported Energy |
| How much did imported electricity cost? | Electricity Bill |
| How much feed-in income was generated? | Income |
| How much solar energy was used directly? | Direct Self-use |
| How much money did solar save? | Total Saving |
| What is the self-consumption rate? | Direct Self-use Rate |
These reports are especially useful when grid electricity prices and feed-in tariffs are different. In many regions, using solar energy directly is worth more than exporting it to the grid.
The solar overview page shows KPIs and real-time energy flow for the solar PV system.
It is useful for checking current status, while the reports are better for analyzing daily, monthly, and yearly performance.

The Energy Usage and Billing report shows grid consumption and electricity bill over selected time periods.
It helps users understand:
If your electricity price changes by time period, configure the correct tariff plan:
The Billing and Income report compares:
This report is useful for users who want to understand both sides of the solar economics:
The Bill, Income and Saving report focuses on the real value of the solar PV system.
It shows:
In many countries and regions, the feed-in tariff is much lower than the grid electricity price. This means the direct self-use of solar energy is often more valuable than exporting solar energy to the grid.
For example, if the grid electricity price is 0.25/kWh and the feed-in tariff is 0.05/kWh, using 1 kWh of solar energy inside the home avoids 0.25 of grid cost, while exporting it only earns 0.05.
That is why Direct Self-use Rate is an important KPI for home solar users.
IAMMETER calculates solar benefit based on direct self-use and exported energy.
Basic formula:
Total benefit = direct self-use energy x grid electricity price + exported energy x feed-in tariff
Where:
This helps users evaluate whether the solar PV system is reducing electricity costs as expected.
Reports can show whether there is unused solar potential.
If Exported Energy is high:
Optimization options include:
For resistive loads such as electric boilers, IAMMETER can use the WPC3700 Wi-Fi Power Controller to increase solar self-consumption.
