SolarEdge Monitoring 4+

I’ve been using the SolarEdge monitoring app on my iPhone the past year and a half. Ease of use is pretty stand up easy. It’s similar to the desktop web client and provides you all the information you need. I especially like the day/week/month and year views which allowed me to see at a glance and compare my production, consumption (if you have that) and I believe they offer actual consumption also. This tool helps especially when a feature like monitoring over the internet is not working. It alerts you that your not connected and also able to see when alerts to problems are recognized by your system and notified to your installer. There only quirk for me was that we had the ZigBee wireless setup which had to be relocated so the signal was better. We could always have a wired LAN cable installed, but things have worked out. I’m not aware of the other competitor’s monitoring apps but of the few that I saw they should be comparable, but I think the SolarEdge one is a bit better personally.

It’s been over a week now that I have 20 HIT Panasonic 6.6kWh Solar Panels running with SolarEdge inverter. The SolarEdge inverter is doing a phenomenal job in converting DC to AC current. I am really enjoying its performance. This is the core unit (the heart of the solar system) that gives detailed electrical readings about every Solar panel electricity producing on a daily basis. The SolarEdge software gives daily, weekly, monthly and yearly reading information logged into the system. My system was installed by Semper Solaris company. The Semper Solaris Supervisor Eriz and his team done literally a mind blowing job in installation. The SolarEdge App on the smartphone give you daily production information any where you go as long as the cell phone data or internet is available which makes it very easy to check the SolarEdge system on the fly to get electricity production information.
I would highly recommend SolarEdge inverter system to anyone Photovoltaic needs.

The app is very easy to use and provides a lot of data as to how much the solar panels are producing. However, it seems to lack information crucial to show if the panels are still operational. It would be nice to see how many panels are functioning and maybe have an alert system for when one goes down. This would prevent panels going months without being noticed if they malfunction.

Edit/update: I originally gave 3 stars; but after this review, the company updated my permissions and these updates have given me so much more effective data to use in order to see how my investment is working. I’m not sure if there is an alarm for when a panel is not working properly, but I can now see every panel and it’s output over time. It even has the exact layout the panels are placed over the roof. I’m very impressed and have changed my review to reflect this.
