About this app

The SolarEdge monitoring application enables PV installers and system owners to perform remote monitoring on the go using their mobile Android device, thus maximizing solar energy harvesting.
The application enables users to view the most updated data and be up to speed with their site’s performance.

Application Features:

Dashboard:
The application provides at-a-glance view of the system performance.
Present and past measurements are available:
• Current system power
• Energy – today, last month, lifetime.
• Graph display of daily power, weekly and yearly energy production

Weather:
Current and forecast weather are presented and assist in assessing the system’s performance.

Site Image:
The app allows the display of the site’s image, which gives another visual dimension of the system.

Site List:
A comprehensive list of all the user’s PV sites, which gives high level data on each site (including its image) for easy orientation.

User Preferences:
Configure system units or switch the app interface to one of several supported languages.

Ratings and reviews

Works decently. Depends alot on the setup at the installers end. Im slightly disappointed that its not "realtime". The very best it can be is an update at 5 minute intervals, and only when hardwired ethernet through your router. The wireless options (cellular or it's own transmitter/receiver connected to your router) are longer update intervals. For production tracking, the 5 minutes is fine, but not for checking what your generation is at any specific moment.

EDIT: Reporting stops almost everyday around 12:30pm. It then fills in the rest of the day sometime overnight. Please fix this bug. It would be nice to have an "update now" button rather than viewing 30-60 minute old data. Not sure why only production is shown and not total consumption as well...this would be helpful in adjusting usage. (Even though screenshots show it, it's not on this version - or the browser version)

For what it does, the app is fine. It just doesn't do enough. I won't repeat (except to nod to) the problems about update frequency and notifications... these haven't been an issue for us yet... but they are still features that should be incorporated in the app. We have another solar installation that displays both the energy produced and the energy used. Seeing one side is nice, but does not give the complete picture. It's too new (7 months) for us to see hardware problems... I'll chime in on that when/if it happens
