Supported functionality

The Autarco platform mainly provides sensors that you can use in your energy dashboard.

Solar

Gain insight into how much solar energy your site produces.

  • Power production (W)
  • Energy production today (kWh)
  • Energy production this month (kWh)
  • Energy production total (kWh)

Inverters

Gain insight into how much energy an inverter produces. The integration will create a device for each inverter linked to your account.

  • AC output power (W)
  • AC output energy total (kWh)

Battery

If you have a battery connected to your system, you can monitor the battery status and see how much energy it charges or discharges.

  • Power flow (W) - Positive values indicate charging, negative values indicate discharging
  • State of charge (%)
  • Discharged energy today (kWh)
  • Discharged energy this month (kWh)
  • Discharged energy total (kWh)
  • Charged energy today (kWh)
  • Charged energy this month (kWh)
  • Charged energy total (kWh)
