SolarEdge Go

Overview

SolarEdge Go is a free mobile app for installers handling SolarEdge photovoltaic sites, fleets, and service work. It suits field teams already using compatible SolarEdge equipment and cloud-connected workflows. Its main draw is a shared workspace for installation and ongoing site management; remote access has firm device, permission, and session limits.

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 make it easier to move from fleet oversight to a particular job. Full Mapper integration is still a future capability, so the tools are not yet entirely consolidated.

Cloud and installation workflows

Cloud features include syncing data, importing designs, viewing site information and alerts, and managing or registering users. On site, installers can configure and register devices. These functions cover useful stages of field work, but cloud-based commissioning is still coming soon, and full functionality depends on SolarEdge Cloud connectivity.

Remote service

The app supports remote inverter and system diagnostics and configuration, which can help installers handle eligible service work without going to a site. Remote access is beta and restricted to account administrators using a SetApp-enabled leader inverter with CPU version 4.13 or higher. Each connection lasts no more than 15 minutes, and remote actions require admin permissions. Without internet, the app is limited to local commissioning over a direct inverter connection.

SolarEdge says it follows ISO 27001 information security practices and has adopted ISO 27017 cloud security guidance. Users can send suggestions or issue reports to SolarEdge Support through the app; the app listing also gives [email protected] for support.

Pricing

SolarEdge Go: free. The free plan requires SolarEdge account credentials, making it a practical starting point for installers already working in the SolarEdge ecosystem. No paid tier or seat allowance is specified in the plan.

Platforms

The app is available on Android and iOS. The user guide requires Android 11 or higher or iOS 14 or higher, along with internet connectivity for full functionality.

Who it's for

SolarEdge Go is strictly for installers working with residential or commercial sites. It is a sensible fit for SolarEdge field teams that need site and fleet tools alongside device registration and supported remote service. Homeowners should use mySolarEdge instead; this app is not intended for household monitoring.

Pros and cons

• Pros: The free app combines site, fleet, and installation tools, including site edits, device registration, alerts, and user permissions.
• Pros: Remote diagnostics and configuration can support service work without a site visit when the inverter, account, and connection qualify.
• Cons: Remote service is limited to eligible SetApp-enabled leader inverters, account administrators, and 15-minute sessions.
• Cons: Full Mapper integration and cloud-based commissioning are not yet available, while offline use is restricted to local commissioning through a direct inverter connection.

Verdict

Choose SolarEdge Go if you are an installer managing SolarEdge sites and want free mobile access to site, fleet, installation, and supported remote-service tools in one app. Its focused toolkit is the reason to pick it; look elsewhere if you need complete Mapper integration, cloud commissioning now, unrestricted offline work, or remote access beyond its compatible hardware and short admin sessions.
