Tutorial for Huawei’s FusionSolar App

Introduction to Huawei’s photovoltaic monitoring application: exploring its Features and Benefits

In the current context of the global energy transition, where the use of renewable energy sources such as solar power is continually expanding, the ability to efficiently monitor and manage photovoltaic systems has become an essential tool for maximising their performance. This not only contributes to energy efficiency but also ensures the longevity of the system and user satisfaction.

Main screen: an instant overview

Upon first accessing the Huawei monitoring application, users are greeted by a main screen that acts as a central control panel, providing an overview of how the photovoltaic system is functioning in real-time. This initial screen is crucial as it allows users to have an instant “overview” of the system’s performance without needing to navigate through different menus or settings.

On this screen, key information about the various components of the photovoltaic system is presented. Users can quickly observe the status of the battery, the inverter, and the flow of energy being exchanged between these elements and the solar panels. The clarity with which this information is displayed is vital so that any user, regardless of their technical knowledge, can quickly understand how their system is performing.

Additionally, the application is capable of integrating and displaying other devices connected to the system, such as a Huawei electric vehicle charger. If the user has this device, its status and related energy flow will also be visible on the main screen, allowing for complete management of all energy aspects of the home from a single point.

Production and consumption details: an in-depth analysis

For those who wish to go beyond the general overview and gain a more detailed analysis of their system’s performance, the application offers the possibility to enter a specific section that provides more granular information about energy production. In this section, users can see in real-time how their photovoltaic system is functioning and access a detailed history that allows them to analyse the system’s behaviour at different times.

One of the most noteworthy aspects of this section is the presentation of two key indicators.

1. The first indicator shows self-consumption, that is, the proportion of energy generated by the photovoltaic system that is being directly used by the household. This data is crucial for users who want to maximise their energy independence and reduce their reliance on the electricity grid.
2. The second indicator focuses on the household’s energy consumption, distinguishing between energy sourced from the photovoltaic system and that obtained from the electricity grid. This distinction is fundamental for understanding how and when the energy generated by the solar system is being used, and for identifying opportunities to optimise energy consumption. For example, on a sunny day, a user might observe that more than 60% of the energy used comes from their photovoltaic system, representing efficient and sustainable use of solar energy.

Furthermore, the application allows users to select and analyse specific days, thereby offering full control over the photovoltaic system and enabling users to identify usage patterns and make informed decisions about their energy consumption. This capacity for customisation and historical analysis is particularly useful for those looking to optimise their system to achieve maximum performance and savings.

Real-time monitoring and alerts: safety and efficiency

One of the most valuable aspects of Huawei’s monitoring application is its ability to send real-time alerts in the event of any issues with the system. These alerts can vary in severity, from critical problems such as voltage failures to minor alerts, like the temporary disconnection of the inverter due to internet connectivity issues. This notification feature is essential to ensure that users are always informed about the status of their system and can take swift action to resolve any issues that arise.

What makes this feature even more powerful is that both the users and the technical support team at Sunhero receive these notifications simultaneously. This allows the technical team to anticipate problems and, in many cases, resolve the issue remotely before the user even notices. For example, if an inverter disconnection is detected, the Sunhero team can intervene immediately, diagnosing and resolving the problem without the need for a support call from the user. In cases where physical intervention is required, the team would already be prepared to coordinate the repair with prior knowledge of the issue.

This capability for proactive monitoring and response not only enhances the user experience but also ensures that the system operates optimally at all times, minimising downtime and maximising energy production.

Advanced configuration: customisation and control

Users have the ability to customise certain system parameters, such as battery management or specific settings for the electric vehicle charger. This customisation is key for users who wish to adapt the system to their specific energy needs or to particular environmental conditions.

For example, in areas where the power supply may be unstable, users can configure the battery to prioritise charging during certain times of the day or to ensure a constant energy supply during the night. Similarly, those using an electric vehicle charger can adjust the charging speed or schedule specific times to maximise the use of solar energy.

Conclusion: a complete system at your fingertips

Huawei’s monitoring application is presented as a powerful tool for any owner of a photovoltaic system. Its intuitive interface and ability to provide both an overview and detailed analysis make it accessible and useful for users with varying levels of technical experience. Additionally, the integration of real-time alerts and the possibility of advanced configurations ensure that the system is not only efficient but also remains operating at its full potential.

In a world where energy efficiency and sustainability are increasingly important, tools like Huawei’s application play a crucial role in helping users manage their energy resources more effectively. Sunhero, by offering this type of technology to its customers, not only installs high-quality photovoltaic systems but also provides the means for users to maximise the value of their investment over time.
