Solar Monitor

All of your stats. Without the subscription.

A plug-and-play monitor for your SunPower PVS. Track real-time solar production, grid usage, and complete history right in your browser — no cloud, no monthly fees.

Why does this exist?

Between SunPower's bankruptcy and ongoing app instability, homeowners now face surprise monthly fees just to see their own historical solar data. This plug-and-play monitor bypasses the official app entirely by reading energy numbers directly from the SunPower PVS on your wall.

Live production, usage history, and easy data export remain available 24/7 over your home network. That means total peace of mind and local, independent tracking, free from cloud outages or recurring subscription paywalls.

Clean, Instant Visibility

Live generation and grid stats, right in your browser.

Open solar-monitor.local on any phone, tablet, or desktop connected to your home Wi-Fi. Watch live solar generation update every 20 seconds, track power imported or exported to the grid in real time, and view historical daily totals without installing an app or logging into an external portal.

Painless Installation

No electrician required.

No high-voltage electrical work, wire stripping, or electrician visits required. Simply plug the included Ethernet cable into the gateway port inside your PVS and power it with the included USB cable. Connect to its setup Wi-Fi once, and the monitor operates silently in the background 24/7.

Solar Monitor installed inside a wall-mounted SunPower PVS6, connected to the LAN1 gateway port by Ethernet and powered over USB.
