When using the battery feature of the energy dashboard the valuable information of 'consumed solar' isn't tracked anymore.
example:

modal at 8-9am when battery wasn't charged yet shows (yellow) the consumed solar. later on - when battery is charged - there is no information on how much solar was used for charging.
granted - i'm a bit of abusing this feature by tracking the 6A charger of my BEV (car) with it, which takes all of the solar and not just the surplus. but the same would be true for AC-coupled 'solar batteries' that might be partly charged with cheap power from the grid with a dynamic tariff.
I guess it's assumed that charging the battery from solar isn't actually 'consuming' just yet, but will be when it's charge is fed back to the home - but i beg to differ.. the battery is still consuming kWhs from solar, and it's not said that it will deliver all of it back to 'home' (self discharge, efficency losses, .. or just driving around if P2G/H ever becomes a real thing). maybe it's just a matter of wording. 'charged from solar'?
looking at the end of my charging session (4-5pm) i can see the dilemma this might bring about.
briefly thinking about it i feel the downward stack is the wrong way round: upwards it's (from zero) the consumed solar, then the consumption from grid. so downward i would expect it to be the battery charge first (ideally with a part 'charged from solar') and then the export to grid.
