Setting Your Gateway Location

Why Location Matters

Accurate location data is crucial for your Energy Gateway's operation:

• Solar Production Forecasting: Enables precise solar production forecasts based on your exact geographical location
• Performance Analysis: Compare your system's performance with similar installations in your area
• Regulatory Compliance: Ensures compliance with local energy regulations and grid requirements
• Future Features: Enables upcoming features like local energy trading and grid services

How to Set Location

1. Allow Location Access

   • When prompted, allow the app to access your location
   • This helps center the map on your current area
   • You can still manually adjust the position if needed

2. Position the Pin

   • Drag the map to position the red pin exactly where your solar installation is located
   • Use two fingers to rotate and tilt the map for better visibility
   • The pin should be placed at your inverter's physical location

3. Fine-tune with Zoom

   • Use the + and - buttons to zoom in and out
   • Zoom in close enough to clearly identify your building
   • Higher zoom levels provide better location accuracy

Tips for Accuracy

• Use Satellite View: Identify your roof or installation area more easily
• Check Coordinates: Verify the latitude and longitude shown at the bottom
• Be Precise: Take time to position the pin as accurately as possible
• Verify Address: Cross-reference with your installation address

Important Notes

• Location data is stored securely and used only for system optimization
• You can update the location later if needed through gateway settings
• Accurate location data is required for optimal system performance
• The location is verified and stored on the blockchain for transparency

For optimal performance and accurate energy forecasting, please ensure the pin is placed exactly where your solar installation is located.
