Understanding Warnings
Warnings are not background decoration. They are part of the saved result and they tell you where confidence should drop.
Where warnings appear on the results page
Warnings show up in two places. First, the version summary area gives you a warning count. Second, the dedicated Warnings tab lists the stored warnings for the selected scenario.
Because they are stored with the result, they change when you switch versions. Read them as part of that specific saved result, not as generic app messages.
How the Warnings tab is organised
In the current results page, warnings are grouped by severity. The headings you will see are Critical, Warnings, and Info.
That makes it easier to separate what is merely useful from what should materially change the way you read the result.
How to read each severity level
Critical items should slow you down immediately. These are the strongest signs that the result needs caution.
Warnings usually point to practical pressure, important assumptions, or something that deserves closer review. They do not automatically make the result useless, but they do change how confidently it should be read.
Info items are lighter notes. They can still be useful, especially when they explain assumptions or give context, but they should not be confused with more serious caution messages.
Use warnings alongside the numbers
Read warnings alongside the result tabs, not afterwards. A battery count may look neat until the warnings show that reserve is thin. A solar result may look workable until the warning list shows strong weather sensitivity.
If several warnings point at the same subsystem, treat that as a pattern. Repeated battery warnings usually mean the storage side deserves another look. Repeated charging or solar warnings usually mean the recharge path is under pressure.
Warnings do not always mean the result is unusable
A result with warnings can still be useful for planning and comparison. The warning system is there to make uncertainty visible, not to hide the result.
Early in the process, some warnings may be acceptable. Closer to a real decision, the same warnings should carry more weight.
When warnings should change your next step
Warnings should push you toward a next action. Refine the scenario and calculate again, compare against another saved version, or pause and validate the real-world assumptions more carefully.
