Know the moment anything goes wrong with your solar

We check your inverter every 5 minutes: fault codes, batteries, grid power, every solar string and the Wi-Fi link. You only hear from us when something needs attention, by SMS or email, and we can come and fix it.

SMS from Solar WatchGrid power is off at Your house since 18:42. Battery 64%, about 9 h at the current use.

Power off at home? Once it's been off 15 minutes you get one SMS and email with your battery level and roughly how long it will last.

What we check, every 5 minutes

The whole system, not just the panels. And you only hear from us when something needs attention.

Inverter faults

Fault codes the moment the inverter raises them: earth leakage, overload, overheating and more.

Email and SMS

Batteries

Low battery during an outage, a battery running hot, one that stops talking to the inverter, and one that slowly holds less charge.

SMS and email

Power cuts

One SMS and email once the power has been off 15 minutes, with your battery level and how long it should last. Short dips are ignored.

SMS and email

Inverter offline

Your inverter stops reporting: the Wi-Fi router, the dongle or the inverter itself.

Email and SMS

Solar strings

A dead or weak string: a blown fuse, a tripped DC breaker or a burnt connector, flagged within 15 minutes.

Email and SMS

Service due

A reminder when your yearly service is due, so small problems are found before they cost you.

It pays for itself. A blown string fuse on a typical 5 kW system can waste around 10 kWh of solar a day, usually without any fault code on the inverter. That's about 300 kWh a month, worth more than a whole year of Solar Watch. We spot it within 15 minutes.

The free 3 months are once per inverter. Maintenance services, firmware upgrades and callouts are quoted separately and booked from your dashboard.

For solar installers

Watch every client's system in one place. Add the Sunsynk, Deye or LuxPower login you already use for your clients' plants and every inverter, battery and string is checked every 5 minutes. Faults come to you, not to your clients, so you decide what to tell them, and you're at the door before they notice.

Questions

Which inverters work?
Sunsynk, Deye and LuxPower inverters with their Wi-Fi or LAN dongle online.
Do you need my password?
No. You share your system with us from the inverter's app, and you can remove it whenever you like.
Will you send me lots of messages?
No. You only hear from us when something needs attention: no newsletters, no daily or weekly reports, and never the same problem twice in a day. A power cut gets one message once it has lasted 15 minutes, and a "power is back" SMS is off unless you switch it on.
I already have the inverter's app. Why pay?
The app shows numbers when you open it and know what to look for. A blown string fuse usually raises no fault code, so everything looks normal while part of your solar is lost. We check every string against its own normal every 5 minutes, tell you the moment something's wrong, and can come and fix it.
What happens when the power goes off?
If your Wi-Fi router is on the backup supply, you get one SMS and email once the power has been off 15 minutes, with your battery level and roughly how long it will last. If the router goes off with the grid, we lose contact too; we can move it onto the backup for you.
Can you fix what you find?
Yes. Book a callout, a service or a firmware upgrade from your dashboard, or reply to the alert email.
