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

What Still Works vs. What Has Been Removed

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 doesn't make this comparison. It 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 doesn't 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. Don't 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: Where Things Stand

OwlWatt supports SolarEdge and Enphase systems. For SolarEdge you authorize OwlWatt from your SolarEdge account, and it backfills your daily history and compares it with a weather-adjusted expectation. Per-panel watts and live intraday power are not available for SolarEdge because SolarEdge's API does not provide them. There is no manual CSV import.

What SolarEdge owners can do today:

• Export and preserve your data (above): Do this now regardless of when SolarEdge support ships, historical retention isn't guaranteed.
• Connect your SolarEdge account: Sign up, choose SolarEdge and authorize OwlWatt. See what SolarEdge owners get.

Exporting your own copy is still worth doing: a record you hold does not depend on any vendor's cloud.

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.
