How can I check my system’s energy export data?

Updated this week

With the latest Palmetto app update, you can now view the amount of energy your system exports directly in the app. This data is available alongside your production and consumption insights.

You can view exported energy from the Home section of the app.

  1. Open the Palmetto app.

  2. Select Home from the menu.

  3. Navigate to the Energy Balance section and click "see more energy data"

  4. Choose your preferred view: Day, Week, or Month.

  5. Review your Summary, which reflects how much energy your system produced compared to how much your home consumed during the selected time period.

If your system produces more energy than your home uses, the excess energy shown in your Energy Balance represents energy exported to the grid.


Understanding the Energy Balance view

In the Energy Balance section, you’ll see:

  • Produced: Total solar energy generated

  • Consumed: Total solar energy used

  • Energy Balance: The difference between production and consumption

A negative Energy Balance indicates that your home used more energy than it produced. A positive balanced indicates more energy production than consumption.

Does this replace my utility’s export data?

The Palmetto app provides visibility into exported energy based on system performance. However, official data including net metering credits and billing details are still managed by your utility provider. For billing-related export credits, continue to reference your utility bill or utility account portal.
