--- title: "FTM Sites" url: "https://ensights.productfruits.help/en/article/ftm-sites" language: "en" last_updated: "2026-08-25T16:27:00.365Z" --- # FTM Sites Front-of-the-meter sites that trade against a generation plan — the daily plan cycle, market prices, and the tabs behind each site. *Monitoring & Control → FTM Sites* **Availability:** FTM Sites appears only for tenants with the front-of-the-meter module enabled. If you do not see it in the menu, your organisation does not have it. ## What an FTM site is A front-of-the-meter site sells into a market rather than to a site load. That changes the daily rhythm: for every trading day someone must submit a **generation plan** before gate closure, the site must follow it, and the difference between plan and delivery has a financial consequence. This page is built around that cycle rather than around performance monitoring. ## The site list - **Site Name**. - **PV to Grid**, **PV to Storage**, **Storage to Grid**, **Grid to Storage** — the four energy flows for the period, which describe what the site actually did. - **Days with Prepared Plans** — how far ahead the site is covered. This is the column to watch: a site at zero has nothing submitted for tomorrow. - **Plan Received** and **Plan Set** — ticks or crosses for the two halves of the cycle: a plan arrived, and a plan was pushed to the site. - **Availability** — the site's availability for the period. - **Weather**, **SMP**, **SCADA** — traffic lights for the three feeds the cycle depends on: weather forecast, market prices and the site's own control link. A red light explains a missing plan faster than anything else on the page. Search and the period control work as elsewhere. ![The FTM Sites list with plan, availability and data-source columns](https://cdn-assets.productfruits.com/cc6bf72d-e01d-4a51-8f30-ce3d2afbf61d) ## Inside a site Clicking a site opens a workspace with ten tabs: **Dashboard**, **PV System**, **Storage**, **Policies**, **Insights**, **Maintenance**, **Documents**, **Cash Flow**, **Operations Control** and **Diagnostics**. ### Dashboard Three cards across the top: - **Generation Plan** — the planned *PV*, *PV To Export*, *Grid To Storage* and *Storage To Grid* for the day. - **SMP** — system marginal price from the market operator (NOGA in Israel), with *Peak* and *Off-Peak* prices and the day's price curve. This is the input that decides when it is worth exporting. - **Weather** — temperature and irradiance, the basis of the production forecast the plan is built on. Below, the plan itself in **Graph View** or **Table View**, with a selector between the editable **Generation Plan** and the read-only **Loading Plan**. When a day has nothing yet the page says so plainly — *No Generation Plan Found. Try to import a plan or copy a plan from another date* — and **Copy other plan to here** is the quickest fix for a typical day. The right rail carries the operational state: a countdown in days, hours and minutes to the next submission deadline, **Update Site** to push the plan, import and export buttons for plan files, **Days with prepared plans**, an **Audit** trail of changes, an **Open Alerts** donut split High / Medium / Low with repetitive alerts called out, and **Availability**. ### PV System The generation view: a summary line with energy, revenue, meter energy and normalised versus expected; a **System / Inverters / Meters** selector; metric chips including AC Power, Meter Power, PPC and POA Irradiance at 15-minute granularity; and a **Benchmark** with a radius slider that compares the site against others within a chosen distance. The **Energy Losses** waterfall appears once the day is complete — it is generated only after all daily data is received. ### Storage The same layout as a battery's analysis page — capacity, energy imported and exported with costs, profit, RTE and availability, plus the live-data rail — with a **SEND** action for sharing. ### Operations Control The controllable devices at the site, listed as **Name**, **Vendor**, **SN**, **Mode** and **Status**, with **+** to add one. *Mode* is what each device is currently doing under control. ### The remaining tabs **Policies**, **Insights**, **Maintenance** and **Documents** behave as they do elsewhere in the portal. **Cash Flow** holds the financial result of the site's trading, and **Diagnostics** the device-level checks. ## Common tasks **Daily plan check.** Sort the list by *Days with Prepared Plans* ascending and work through anything at zero before gate closure. Check the Weather, SMP and SCADA lights on the same row. **Build tomorrow's plan quickly.** Open the site → Dashboard → *Copy other plan to here* from a comparable day, adjust in Table View, then *Update Site*. **Explain a deviation.** Compare the plan with the PV System tab's actuals for the same day, and read the Energy Losses waterfall once the day is closed. **Check who changed what.** The Audit panel on the Dashboard rail. ## Common questions **The plan was not submitted.** Check the countdown (was it past gate closure), the SCADA light (could the site be reached) and the Audit panel (was a plan ever set). **SMP shows no prices.** The market feed is unavailable — the SMP traffic light on the list will be red. Plans can still be built, but not optimised against price. **Why is the Energy Losses waterfall empty?** It is produced only after the day completes and all data has arrived.
