How does your site stack up?
Free, self-serve energy benchmarking built from real South African sites — see how your solar self-consumption, grid reliance, load profile, battery efficiency, measured pack capacity and endurance compare against the field.
No sign-up needed to explore the benchmarks.Start with the solar self-consumption spectrum below: it shows the whole benchmark universe, and the moment you add a bill or connect your inverter it pinpoints where you land. Use the filter to narrow the whole report — the headline numbers, the spectrum and every distribution — to one site class: residential, commercial or industrial. The charts further down break out load, grid reliance and efficiency in detail. Each site is plotted from its most recent complete week of data — for some that is last month and for others it is earlier in the year, so a figure marked * is over a quarter old and the tooltip names the week it came from.
Next, solar yield against the Global Solar Atlas model for each site’s recorded tilt and azimuth — the same check the Recon report runs on a single site, over twelve months of generation so summer and winter cancel rather than decide the answer. Below the model is not automatically a fault here. A site with a battery that fills by mid-morning has nowhere to send the surplus, so the inverter stops making it: such a site can be in perfect order and still read half of model. A genuine shortfall on a site that can absorb everything it makes points at shading, soiling, inverter downtime, clipping, or a tilt on record that no longer matches the roof.
The two charts below are measured, not rated. Deemed capacity is what each pack has actually delivered per point of state of charge over the last month, so it follows a battery as it fades and notices one being replaced; endurance divides that measured capacity by the site’s own essential load. A figure marked * rests on under a fortnight of days and is still settling. One marked ? is greyed out and sent to the bottom because the measurement contradicts itself — a round-trip over 100% across a whole month, or a pack measuring far above its rating — which points at a feed or a configured figure to check, not a score to beat.
