Features

Everything about your system, in one place

Built by Leading Edge Solar for our customers, and constantly improved.

Live power flow

Solar, battery, grid and load at a glance, updated automatically, with an estimate of how long your battery will last.

History

Daily, monthly and yearly charts of solar production, usage, battery and grid, so you can see what you're saving.

Smart device control

Switch Tuya / Smart Life, Sonoff (eWeLink) and Shelly plugs and switches from the dashboard, and see how much power each uses.

Automation rules

“Turn the pool pump on when solar is 2 kW more than the load”, or “switch the borehole off below 40% battery”. Rules can run on chosen days and times.

Smart heating

Heats your geysers on spare solar power, coldest first, without overloading the inverter or draining the battery.

Alerts on WhatsApp & email

Know straight away when the grid goes down, the battery runs low or a device goes offline.

Several systems

Keep a home, a farm and an office in one account and switch between them in one click.

Share with your family

Give family members or your installer their own login, with only the access they need.

Inverter protection

Rules won't switch on a device if it would push the inverter over its rated power.

Automation

Let free solar power do the work

Instead of buying grid power at night, Solar Monitor runs your heavy loads when the sun is shining. Rules are written in plain language and show live whether they are on, waiting or off.

  • Conditions on battery level, solar, load, grid, time and weather
  • Only the rule that switched a device on can switch it off
  • Every switch is logged, so you always know why something changed

No. Solar Monitor works with any supported inverter that is connected to its manufacturer's cloud. Our installation customers get help setting it up.

Is there an app to install?

No download needed. Solar Monitor runs in your phone or computer's browser. On a phone you can add it to your home screen for one-tap access.

Which smart plugs can I use?

Tuya / Smart Life, Sonoff (eWeLink) and Shelly devices. Plugs that measure power also show their usage in the live power flow.
