Each row is a day and each square is an hour. A green square means there is plenty of sunlight, allowing the battery to recharge quickly. A red square indicates insufficient sunlight such as at night and on very cloudy days. As a result, the battery isn't charging, and the Raspberry Pi is gradually depleting it.

Hourly battery charge

A green square means the battery is well-charged and can power the Raspberry Pi for several days. A red square indicates the battery charge is low and requires solar charging soon.
