Independently Verify Your mySolarEdge Production (and Your Installer's Guarantee)

By Olivier Beauchemin · Published June 2026

The situation: SolarEdge has been removing features from the mySolarEdge mobile app. The web portal at monitoring.solaredge.com still works and retains more history. But neither platform tells you whether your production is good enough — that requires a weather-adjusted comparison against your contract guarantee. And OwlWatt's native SolarEdge API integration is currently on our roadmap, not live. Here is what SolarEdge owners can do today.

What Still Works vs. What Has Been Removed

Works
Web portal (monitoring.solaredge.com)

Production graphs, monthly and annual totals, site overview. Access this first — it has more capability than the mobile app.

Works
Historical data export (web portal)

CSV download of production data. Do this now to preserve your records — export at least your full history back to installation.

Web only
Optimizer-level data

Removed from the mobile app. Still visible in the web portal Layout view, which shows per-optimizer power output.

Removed
Energy flow diagrams (mobile)

The self-consumption and energy flow visualization is no longer available in the mySolarEdge app for many users.

Removed
Detailed self-consumption breakdown (mobile)

The granular consumed/exported/imported breakdown in the mobile app has been removed or degraded for many account types.

The Core Limitation SolarEdge Does Not Fix

Even when the mySolarEdge app and web portal are working perfectly, they share the same fundamental limitation as every manufacturer monitoring platform: they show you what your system produced, but not whether that production is adequate.

A SolarEdge system that produced 11,000 kWh last year either overperformed or underperformed dramatically depending on your location, your system size, your contract guarantee, and that year's weather. SolarEdge monitoring does not make this comparison. It simply reports the raw output.

To know whether you have a guarantee breach, you need:

  1. Your actual production numbers (from SolarEdge)
  2. A weather-adjusted expected production baseline for your location and system
  3. The guaranteed production from your contract
  4. The gap calculation and its dollar value

Steps 2 through 4 require external analysis. SolarEdge does not provide them.

How to Export Your SolarEdge Data Right Now

Before doing any analysis, preserve your production history. SolarEdge has in some cases changed data retention policies and the export format. Do not wait until you need this data for a claim.

  1. Log in to monitoring.solaredge.com (not the mobile app).
  2. Select your site from the dashboard.
  3. Navigate to the Energy section and set the date range to your full installation period.
  4. Click the export/download icon to download a CSV of your production data.
  5. Store this file somewhere you control — not just in the SolarEdge portal.
  6. Repeat for the monthly view to capture monthly totals, which are the most useful for guarantee comparison.

What to Do About Independent Verification

With your production data exported, the next step is the weather-adjusted comparison. You need to know what your system should have produced — not what your installer estimated before installation, but what it should have produced given the actual weather conditions at your location during each period.

This calculation uses irradiance data (measured solar radiation at your location) combined with your system's specifications to compute an expected output. The gap between expected and actual is your performance indicator. If that gap is larger than your contract's tolerance band, you have a potential guarantee claim.

OwlWatt and SolarEdge: What We Support Today

Roadmap transparency

OwlWatt currently supports Enphase systems natively — with live API connectivity, automatic data pulling, and full weather-adjusted analysis. SolarEdge native API integration is on our product roadmap. We are not going to claim it works when it does not.

What SolarEdge owners can do today with OwlWatt:

We would rather be honest about this gap than claim capability we do not have. If Enphase-native support is what you need now, OwlWatt is a strong fit. For SolarEdge, manual import is the current path; native API is coming.

Meanwhile: Check for Sunrun / SolarEdge Finger-Pointing

Many SolarEdge owners also have Sunrun as their installer. This combination creates a specific dispute risk: if your system underperforms, Sunrun may attribute it to SolarEdge equipment, while SolarEdge may attribute it to installation quality. Neither party readily accepts responsibility. See our full guide: When your installer and inverter vendor blame each other.

Common Questions

My mySolarEdge app stopped showing optimizer data. Is something wrong with my system?

Not necessarily. SolarEdge has removed optimizer-level data from the mobile app for many account types. Access the web portal at monitoring.solaredge.com to see optimizer-level data in the Layout view. If the web portal also shows missing or blank data for specific optimizers, that may indicate a hardware issue — contact SolarEdge support.

Can I trust SolarEdge production numbers for a guarantee claim?

SolarEdge production data is accurate — the inverter measures actual AC output. However, the number alone does not establish whether your guarantee has been breached. You need to compare it to a weather-adjusted expected output and your contract's promised production. That comparison requires additional analysis beyond the SolarEdge portal.

What if my installer is no longer in business and I have SolarEdge equipment?

Your SolarEdge equipment warranties (standard inverter warranty is 12 years; 20–25 year extensions are available) survive your installer's bankruptcy. Contact SolarEdge directly to verify your warranty registration is in your name. See: When your solar installer goes bankrupt and Enphase vs SolarEdge warranty comparison.

When will OwlWatt support SolarEdge natively?

SolarEdge API integration is on our active roadmap. We do not have a confirmed ship date to share publicly. Sign up and indicate SolarEdge as your inverter brand, and we will notify you when native integration is available. In the meantime, manual CSV import is the available path.

SolarEdge Owner? Here Is What You Can Do Today

Export your SolarEdge production history and import it into OwlWatt for weather-adjusted analysis. When native SolarEdge API integration ships, your account will already be ready. Sign up now for Enphase native support, or for SolarEdge manual import.
