SolarEdge Go

SolarEdge Go is a free mobile app for installers managing photovoltaic sites and fleets, including residential and commercial sites. It brings together work from SetApp, Mapper, and Monitoring, while full Mapper integration is described as future support. Installers can sync data with SolarEdge Cloud, import designs, view site information and alerts, manage users, and create or edit sites. Other tools include applying SolarEdge Designer plans, registering or replacing devices, managing site access, and configuring and registering devices on site. A map-based fleet view provides site details and supports responses to critical issues. Remote access supports inverter and system diagnostics and configuration, but is beta and requires administrator permissions. It works with supported SetApp-enabled leader inverters running CPU version 4.13 or higher, with sessions limited to 15 minutes. Full functionality requires internet access and a SolarEdge Cloud connection; without internet, use is limited to local commissioning through a direct inverter connection. The app requires Android 11 or later or iOS 14 or later. It is strictly for installers; homeowners are directed to mySolarEdge. Cloud-based commissioning and support-ticket management are described as coming soon.

SolarEdge Go brings site, fleet, and remote service tools to installers on Android and iOS. Its remote access depends on supported equipment, administrator permissions, and connectivity, while some capabilities are listed as coming soon.

Overview

SolarEdge Go is a mobile app for installers managing SolarEdge photovoltaic sites, fleets, and service work. It suits teams already using compatible SolarEdge equipment, especially those who need site and fleet tools on Android or iOS. Its free access is appealing, but remote work depends on compatible inverters, admin rights, and a reliable connection.

Key features

Site and fleet management

SolarEdge Go brings together work from SetApp, Mapper, and Monitoring. Installers can create and edit sites, apply SolarEdge Designer plans, register or replace devices, and manage site users and permissions. A map-based fleet view, site details, alerts, and critical-issue response help teams prioritize work across residential and commercial installations. Full Mapper integration is still forthcoming, so the combined workflow has a meaningful gap for teams relying on that tool.

Cloud and installation work

Cloud tools sync data, import designs, show site information and alerts, and support user registration and management. On site, installers can configure and register devices. Cloud-based commissioning is coming soon; until then, the app covers useful setup tasks without that planned workflow. Full functionality requires SolarEdge Cloud connectivity. Without internet, use is limited to local commissioning through a direct connection to the inverter.

Remote service

Remote inverter and system access supports diagnostics and configuration, which can help installers resolve some issues without traveling to a site. Access is beta and limited to account administrators using a supported SetApp-enabled leader inverter with CPU version 4.13 or higher. Each connection lasts at most 15 minutes, and remote actions require admin permissions. Support-ticket management is also coming soon, leaving that part of service work outside the current workflow.

Pricing

SolarEdge Go: free. The free plan requires SolarEdge account credentials. It gives installers mobile access to the app's site, fleet, installation, and remote-service tools without a subscription charge. This is the natural choice for SolarEdge installer teams that meet the equipment and account requirements; it is not a general-purpose field-service option for other equipment ecosystems.

Platforms

The app is available on Android and iOS. It requires Android 11 or higher or iOS 14 or higher, plus internet connectivity for full functionality. Offline use is restricted to local commissioning through a direct inverter connection.

Who it's for

SolarEdge Go is strictly for installers working on residential or commercial SolarEdge sites. It is a better fit for teams with compatible SetApp-enabled equipment, administrator access, and dependable connectivity than for crews expecting unrestricted remote access or a complete Mapper workflow. Homeowners should use mySolarEdge instead.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Free access: Installers can use the app without a subscription fee, provided they have SolarEdge account credentials.
• Site and fleet tools in one mobile app: Map-based oversight, site details, alerts, device registration, and permissions support both portfolio work and individual service tasks.
• Remote diagnostics and configuration: Compatible systems can be serviced remotely, reducing the need for a site visit in some cases.

Cons

• Narrow remote-access compatibility: Remote inverter access requires a supported SetApp-enabled leader inverter with CPU version 4.13 or higher.
• Short, permission-bound sessions: Beta remote access is limited to account administrators and 15 minutes per connection.
• Incomplete workflows: Full Mapper integration, cloud-based commissioning, and support-ticket management are coming soon.
• Limited offline use: Without internet, only local commissioning through a direct inverter connection is supported.

Alternatives

Solar Installation Software is a useful starting point for comparing tools across the category. Choose FieldExecutives if you need web access alongside Android and iOS, or a paid plan with a set number of users and add-on users. InstalTrack may suit teams that want project and stage caps, an Android app, and all features included in its free plan. For solar design, sales, and project management, consider OpenSolar, whose Pro plan is free of charge and whose listed platforms include web, iOS, Android, macOS, and API. SenseHawk is another paid option for Android, iOS, and web. LuminaSims offers a paid option on Android and web. MightyFields Solar is a paid per-user subscription with a 15-user minimum. SunrAI Project Management is worth considering for lifecycle and dispatch work, with a Starter plan described at $29 a month and free access during beta. Sitetracker is a paid option with user or usage limits set in the Order Form.

Verdict

SolarEdge Go is a strong fit for installers managing SolarEdge sites who want free mobile access to site, fleet, and service tools. Its main advantage is bringing those workflows together without a subscription fee; its main drawback is that remote access is tightly constrained by equipment, permissions, session length, and connectivity. Choose it if your installations meet those requirements, and look elsewhere if you need broader equipment support, full Mapper integration today, or dependable offline service work.
