Where to Find Solar Settings?

Once available, you’ll be able to access Solar Settings directly in the app:

1. Open the Sense app
2. Tap Settings
3. Select Solar

From here, you can manage solar detection and review how your solar energy is reported.

Note that this setting is only available for Sense Monitor users at this time.

What You’ll See in Solar Settings

Solar Settings are dynamic, so you’ll see different options depending on your setup, including:

• Option to set up solar sensors if not already installed
• Options to enable/disable solar detection without sensors or in addition to solar sensors
• Sell-back rate settings if Sense is already tracking your solar production

Some examples of different states of the settings page are below.

New Sell-Back Rate Controls

Another highly requested improvement: more control over sell-back rates.

By default:

• Net metering is turned on, meaning your sell-back rate matches your electricity cost per kilowatt-hour, including time-of-use periods

If you turn net metering off:

• You can enter a custom sell-back rate. If you have already entered a custom sell-back rate, you’ll see it here.
• That rate will apply to the “to grid” stat, and will be part of the calculation on your net cost.

This helps your Sense data better reflect how your utility credits excess solar.
