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

The app is great, but the browser version is even better. The next big goal should be to app-ify the interface so all the killer features and functions (serial number replacement, data analysis display, etcetera) can run on a mobile device. If service people like myself don't have to bust out a laptop on a shadeless, wifiless roof in July, well, that would sure be swell. Overall, good work. (So much better than Sunpower and SMA it's almost embarrassing.)

It's colorful and cute, but doesn't show power by inverter or state of charge by battery. So if you have multiple, you're not sure about what's going on. It also only shows one site, so if you have multiple systems for multiple homes you have to pick your favorite and look at only that one via the mobile app.

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
