Use this page to see exactly when you rely on the grid, verify your solar asset performance, and see how much carbon emissions you are avoiding by self-generated energy. ### How to use the Consumption & Generation page To display accurate data, verify your setup: 1. Confirm your [Power Hierarchy](https://app.sensorfact.nl/settings/electricity/power-hierarchy) is configured correctly; and 2. Ensure your solar assets are marked as asset type 'Solar panels'. Once configured, you will see the following insights: - **Total consumption**: The total electricity used across your site, calculated via the Power Hierarchy. It is the sum of energy drawn from the grid and energy provided by your solar panels. - **From solar**: The total energy generated by your solar panels. This includes all assets that are marked as Asset Type "Solar panels". - **From grid**: The total consumed energy from the grid. - **Self-sufficiency**: The share of your total energy consumption covered by your solar panels. - **CO2e avoided**: Quantifies the net carbon reduction from your renewable generation. This is calculated by multiplying your solar consumption (kWh) by the difference between the grid and solar emission factors.   - [Hardware & Installation](https://support.sensorfact.eu/knowledge/hardware-installation?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Energy Management](https://support.sensorfact.eu/knowledge/hardware-installation?hsLang=en#energy-management) - [Gas Management](https://support.sensorfact.eu/knowledge/hardware-installation?hsLang=en#gas-management) - [Predictive Maintenance](https://support.sensorfact.eu/knowledge/hardware-installation?hsLang=en#predictive-maintenance) - [Water Management](https://support.sensorfact.eu/knowledge/hardware-installation?hsLang=en#water-management) - [Compressed Air Management](https://support.sensorfact.eu/knowledge/hardware-installation?hsLang=en#compressed-air-management) - [OEE](https://support.sensorfact.eu/knowledge/hardware-installation?hsLang=en#oee) - [Temperature & Humidity](https://support.sensorfact.eu/knowledge/hardware-installation?hsLang=en#temperature-humidity) - [Dashboard & Insights](https://support.sensorfact.eu/knowledge/dashboard-insights?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Energy management](https://support.sensorfact.eu/knowledge/dashboard-insights?hsLang=en#energy-management) - [Compressed Air](https://support.sensorfact.eu/knowledge/dashboard-insights?hsLang=en#compressed-air) - [Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)](https://support.sensorfact.eu/knowledge/dashboard-insights?hsLang=en#overall-equipment-effectiveness-oee) - [Reports](https://support.sensorfact.eu/knowledge/dashboard-insights?hsLang=en#reports) - [Alerts](https://support.sensorfact.eu/knowledge/dashboard-insights?hsLang=en#alerts) - [Ultrasonic Water](https://support.sensorfact.eu/knowledge/dashboard-insights?hsLang=en#ultrasonic-water) - [Advice & ROI](https://support.sensorfact.eu/knowledge/advice-roi?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Energy Management](https://support.sensorfact.eu/knowledge/advice-roi?hsLang=en#energy-management) - [Predictive Maintenance](https://support.sensorfact.eu/knowledge/advice-roi?hsLang=en#predictive-maintenance) - [Compressed Air Management](https://support.sensorfact.eu/knowledge/advice-roi?hsLang=en#compressed-air-management) - [Account & Billing](https://support.sensorfact.eu/knowledge/account-billing?hsLang=en) - [Troubleshooting](https://support.sensorfact.eu/knowledge/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Energy Management](https://support.sensorfact.eu/knowledge/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#energy-management) - [Gas / water pulse Management](https://support.sensorfact.eu/knowledge/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#gas-water-pulse-management) - [Ultasonic Water Management](https://support.sensorfact.eu/knowledge/troubleshooting?hsLang=en#ultasonic-water-management) - [Product Updates](https://support.sensorfact.eu/knowledge/product-updates?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Release Notes 2025](https://support.sensorfact.eu/knowledge/product-updates?hsLang=en#release-notes-2025) - [Release Notes 2024](https://support.sensorfact.eu/knowledge/product-updates?hsLang=en#release-notes-2024) [![sensorfact\_new\_logo](https://support.sensorfact.eu/hubfs/00.%20Archive/sensorfact_new_logo.svg "sensorfact_new_logo")](https://www.sensorfact.eu) Copyright © 2026, Sensorfact
