YOUR POWER FLOW
This view shows live readings
from your solar panels, the
PowerPod 2, your home, and the
grid. You will see exactly where
your energy is coming from and
where it’s going. You will also
notice the battery’s current state
of charge.
The AC-Coupled Power Flow
view readings are Net values
of Production (Solar) minus
Consumption (Home). If the result
is positive it is shown as NET Solar
and if the result is negative it is
shown as NET Consumption on
the graph.
You can easily switch between
Power Flow, Timeline, and System
views.

The AC-coupled PowerPod 2 is
capable of starting from solar
even after the batteries are fully
depleted from powering the
home during a power outage.
Selectors allow you to view
historical performance. Choose
the daily, weekly, monthly, or
yearly view.
VIEW YOUR ENERGY
GENERATION AND USAGE
IN TIMELINE VIEW
The AC-Coupled Timeline view
solar readings are NET Values.
We show the NET value of
Production (Solar) minus
Consumption (Home). If the result
is positive it is shown as NET Solar
and if the result is negative it is
shown as NET Consumption on
the graph.

By viewing historical performance
over a period of time, you will
begin to understand trends, and
set benchmarks for future energy
activity

CONFIGURE YOUR SYSTEM MODE
TO YOUR NEEDS IN SYSTEM VIEW
Choose the system mode that best
meets the needs of your home.
Backup Mode keeps your battery
charged at 100% to maximize
coverage in the event of a power
outage.
Self-Supply minimizes or eliminates
grid energy usage by allowing
you to use stored energy when
solar production is less than home
consumption. You may also easily
adjust the battery’s reserve level
to ensure you have a minimum
amount to power your home during
power outages.
Time-of-Use (ToU) allows you to
optimize your system when grid
energy costs are at the highest
rates.
Peak Schedule: Evenly discharges
the battery up to reserve parentage
during ‘peak’ periods.
Partial Schedule: Discharges battery
based on home consumption needs.
AC-Coupled systems calculate a
NET solar value as the system does
not differentiate solar production
from home consumption. Consult
the complete user manual for
important details about this
function.
Electriq Power PowerPod 2 User Manual: You may
download a complete PowerPod 2 user manual
at electriqpower.com. Refer to this document for
important information on troubleshooting, warranty
information, and FAQ’s.
Support: For technical support,
contact your program provider
or authorized installer. You
may also contact the customer
support team for the
PowerPod 2 battery at
[email protected].
Safety: Do not attempt to service the battery. It
contains no user-serviceable parts. Tampering with
or opening the battery will void the warranty.
