How To Read The Results Page
The results page is where GridGap turns a saved scenario into something you can review and compare. The most important thing to understand at the start is that you are always looking at results for one saved version at a time.
How the page is organised
The live page is arranged in three main layers. First comes the version section, where you choose which saved project version you want to inspect. Below that is the Scenario Results area, where each scenario in that version gets its own summary card. Once you choose a scenario, the lower Scenario Detail section shows the full stored result in tabs.
This structure matters because it stops old and new work from getting mixed together. If you calculate a new version, that version has its own scenarios, results, and warnings. When you switch back to an older version, you are looking at that older saved result set again.
Version selector
Start with the Version Selector. This is the control that tells the page which saved version to load. When you switch versions, the scenario list, the selected scenario detail, the stored warnings, and the metric cards all change with it.
The version summary card beside the selector is useful for context before you read a single scenario. It shows the version number and version name, the created date, how many scenarios are stored in that version, how many results are saved, and how many warnings are stored.
If you are comparing changes over time, slow down here first. Confirm that you are looking at the version you think you are looking at before comparing battery count, inverter size, or panel count.
Scenario results cards
The Scenario Results section gives you a compact view of every scenario stored inside the selected version. Each card shows the scenario number, scenario type, calculation mode, and a short summary of the most important outputs.
Depending on the scenario type, the summary can include items such as Battery count, Battery config, Recommended inverter size, Recommended charger size, Solar/day Wh, Battery depletion, and a warning count.
Use these cards to compare scenarios quickly. They are especially useful when one version contains several options and you want to see, at a glance, which scenario is asking for a much larger battery bank, a larger inverter, or a heavier solar build.
The card summary is not the full story. It is the shortlist. Once one scenario stands out, open it and move into the detail tabs.
Scenario detail and tabs
The lower Scenario Detail section is where the stored result is broken into readable parts. If no result has been saved yet, the page tells you that the scenario is still awaiting calculation. If a result exists, the page shows a tab set built around the scenario type and the data available.
The tab set can include Overview, Battery, Inverter, Charging, Solar, Solar Controller, Equipment Check, Installation Guidance, and Warnings. Not every tab appears for every scenario. A battery-only scenario does not need solar tabs, and installation guidance only appears when installation data exists for the scenario.
Read the tabs as parts of one linked story. The Battery tab shows the storage burden and the practical bank. The Inverter tab shows the AC support requirement. The Charging tab shows how the bank gets restored. The Solar and Solar Controller tabs show how the array and controller side are being interpreted. The Warnings tab tells you where caution is needed. The Installation Guidance tab adds planning context, not final electrical design.
How to read the Overview tab
The Overview tab is the cross-discipline summary. It brings the most important metrics from several result areas into one place so you can judge the scenario before diving into a deeper tab.
The first cards depend on scenario type. For a solar-hybrid scenario, the page begins with Night load Wh. For a battery-focused scenario, it begins with Total off-grid Wh. From there you may see metrics such as Battery depletion, Energy to replace, Battery count, Battery configuration, Recommended inverter size, Recommended charger size, Recommended MPPT size, Panels required, Panel configuration, Panels for recharge, Autonomy hours, Recharge time, Battery reserve margin, Inverter load, and Solar surplus / shortfall.
This tab is best read as a guide to where pressure is building in the system. If battery depletion is high, move to the Battery tab. If recharge time is long, move to Charging. If panel count jumps or solar shortfall appears, move to Solar and Solar Controller. If the headline values look good but the warnings are heavy, do not stop at the Overview tab.
What to do next
Once you understand the page layout, your usual reading order should be simple: confirm the correct version, compare the scenario cards, read the Overview tab, and then move into the detailed tabs that matter most for that scenario.
If you are still deciding between options, compare versions and scenarios. If you are already close to a real purchase or installation decision, give extra attention to the Warnings tab and the Installation Guidance tab. They often contain the parts that stop a result from being treated too confidently.
