Hi everyone,
I'd like to suggest a small but very useful improvement to the Energy Dashboard.
Currently, the dashboard automatically deducts the solar surplus (energy returned to the grid) from the grid consumption figure. While this makes sense for some users, others prefer to see the raw grid consumption without any deduction — for example to match their electricity bill, or because their energy tariff makes this calculation more complex.
Feature request: Add a simple toggle or checkbox in the Energy Dashboard settings to let users choose whether or not the solar surplus should be deducted from the grid consumption display.
This would be a non-breaking change — the default behavior could remain as it is today, and users who want the raw figures could simply opt out.
I believe this would benefit many users with solar panels, especially those on specific tariffs or who use external tools to track their actual grid usage.
Thanks for considering this!
