      I’ve been using the Vue 2 for a while and just had solar installed.

      I understand there’s a slightly different config / setup for systems with solar and I’m wondering if I can somehow update the existing config so I don’t lose all my existing data?  Or am I going to basically have to factory reset and choose the solar options during the initial setup?

      hello @ctriz your existing historical data is not removed when you do a solar set up.   Please follow the below steps to do a WiFi

      Make sure you are near the device you need to reset
      Open the Emporia Energy app on your smartphone or tablet
      Select Menu (☰) in top left corner
      Select Manage Devices
      Select the device you want to make changes to
      Scroll to the bottom of the page and select Reset WiFi / Solar Setup
      You will not lose any of your data or your device settings during this process
      Select the device you want to reset
      Select Go to directly to setup
      On the Safety Information page select Next
      On the Solar / Generation page, select I have Solar / Generation
      Turn your solar power OFF so you only have energy from your Utility
      Turn ON a load (several large appliances ideally) so the device can calibrate consumption
      Select Solar is off and appliance is on
      Follow the prompts in the app to locate your device via Bluetooth and connect it to your WiFi network
      The Gen 2 will configure your system for Solar Net Metering. Once complete, Save the Name of your Vue and the correct Timezone
      Select Ok! Show me my energy
      Turn your appliance(s) OFF and your solar power back ON
      Your Gen 2 will now show excess generation as green (negative) numbers and bars on the graphs and load will display as blue (positive) numbers and bars on the graphs
