We watch your solar app and tell you when output slips.
With your permission we get read-only access to the inverter or monitoring app you already have. We compare clear-day output with what your array should make, and email or text you when it drops.
You add us as a read-only viewer in Enphase, SolarEdge, Tesla or a similar app.
Expected output from your system size, tilt, direction and past clear days.
The monitoring desk checks each sunny day against expected, panel by panel where the app allows.
Below 80% of expected for a week, or 60% for three clear days, you hear from us.
What you made, what you should have made, and anything to watch.
A Littleton home with 28 panels on optimizers, on output watch since spring. In late October the monitoring desk saw clear-day output sit near half of expected for three days running, with four panels reading zero. We texted the owner that afternoon with the dates and screenshots and pointed them to their installer, since a run of dead panels is an electrical question, not a cleaning one. Nobody from our crew climbed the roof.
Prices are indicative. We confirm your app allows read-only sharing before you pay, and there is no contract on home plans; cancel any time. Every price in one place.
Most of the common ones: Enphase, SolarEdge, Tesla and similar systems that let an owner share a read-only view or add a viewer. If your system has no app, or only a screen on the inverter itself, we will tell you before you pay anything.
No, and we never will. Read-only access means we can see production, not change it. We do not touch inverter settings, firmware or grid profiles; changes like that belong to your installer, who holds the warranty and the permits.
We follow a method from UTS, UNSW and Diagno Energy, published in Solar Energy and tested on 1,089 Australian systems: output below 60% of expected for three non-cloudy days is a major problem, and below 80% for seven days is a minor one.
Not always, and monitoring is how you find out. If clear-day output holds close to expected, a wash can wait. If it slides slowly through a dry summer while no single panel stands out, a film on the glass is the usual cause, and we will say so.
You get an email or text with the dates, the shortfall and screenshots. We say what it most likely is and who should look: our crew for soiling or nests, your installer or an electrician for inverter and wiring faults, a roofer for roof damage.
Send a photo of the roof or a screenshot of your app. We reply within one business day.
