Ratings and reviews

This would be a 5 star app for me if I was able to change the inverter settings through the app. At times I would want to change from self supply to clean back up, or even just have it as grid tie for a while. But I'd have to be home to make the changes. If the app was able to communicate with the inverter in that way, this would be a pretty darn good app. *Edit* latest update states I should be able to change modes with my app..still can't do it.

Updated: few minutes after reviewing that I couldn't enter tarrif information I was able to get it working. Had to set it to Business first, then Residential. Entering price/kWh is terrible, one character at time from right to left. User interface is a struggle but the information is nice to have when setup. Wish I could change battery strategies remotely. App only displays status, doesn't change system settings.

The app has worked well, no crashes. The app provides good information on how the system is running currently and historically. My issue with is I wish it could be used to control some functions. The outage guard is a step in the right direction and shows that they can remotely change profiles. But my issue is they base that on weather forecasts only. Please give us the ability to change the profile using the app. If I know there is an outage coming I want to set the system to Priority Backp

What's new

You can now see when an Outage Guard event is in progress! When Outage Guard is preparing your home for a storm, a badge will appear to let you know on the home page.

We’ve also expanded Device Configurations to include minimum battery reserve, you’ll find this now with System Modes.
