Personal Tracker

The Personal Tracker provides customers with up to one year's comparison of their current year's usage to the previous year. It offers a range of data scenarios, displaying usage information across as few as three bills or as many as two full years of bills. The module includes an evaluative statement that assesses the customer's performance, a bar chart for visualization, seasonal helpers, and insights into why their energy use may have increased, decreased, or remained the same. This module may be used as a replacement for the Self-Comparison module located on the back of the Progress Report
