But today, it is just showing a big negative in the power use section. It''s sunny so the solar panels are generating a lot, but I expected to see power used, solar import, export that kind of thing.

Solar power, also known as solar electricity, is the conversion of energy from sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaics (PV) or indirectly using concentrated solar power.

Solar panels work through the photovoltaic (PV) effect. When sunlight hits the panels, it creates an electric current that is first used to power electrical systems in your home.
