How SolarEdge compares with Enphase on OwlWatt →

What you get with SolarEdge

Daily history, backfilled

Daily production history from SolarEdge's cloud starting at your install date, pulled on connect and kept current.

Expected production and performance ratio

Each day is compared with a weather-modelled expectation for your location and roof. Method at /methodology.

Guarantee shortfall math

The gap against your contract in kWh and dollars. SolarEdge's own cloud figure is the claim-of-record.

Hourly per-inverter power

One power curve per inverter, to see whether one is behind the others.

Optimizer status

Which optimizers are reporting and which have stopped, by serial number.

Shading and roof imagery

Canopy shading from USGS 3DEP LiDAR and the roof view used to estimate orientation, which you can override.

What SolarEdge data does not include

No per-panel watts and no live intraday power. SolarEdge's public API exposes neither on any tier, so OwlWatt cannot show them for SolarEdge. For optimizers it shows whether each is reporting, not what it produced. Those two views exist on Enphase systems only, and the OwlWatt Iris local collector is Enphase-only too. Each difference and its reason is in OwlWatt on Enphase vs SolarEdge.
OwlWatt takes no commission from installers or equipment vendors, including SolarEdge. The subscription is the only revenue, which is what makes the record credible in a dispute.

Frequently asked questions

Does OwlWatt support SolarEdge systems?

Yes. SolarEdge monitoring is generally available. You authorize OwlWatt from your SolarEdge account and it reads your data from the SolarEdge cloud. No hardware is needed.

Does OwlWatt show live or per-panel data for SolarEdge?

No. SolarEdge's public API exposes no per-panel (per-optimizer) power on any tier and no intraday site power to third parties. OwlWatt shows daily production, hourly per-inverter power and whether each optimizer is reporting. Live intraday and per-panel watts are Enphase-only.

Whose production figure is used for a guarantee claim?

SolarEdge's own cloud figure is the claim-of-record. OwlWatt compares it with an independent, weather-modelled expectation for your roof and computes the shortfall in kWh and dollars.

Can I use an OwlWatt Iris with SolarEdge?

Not today. The Iris local collector supports Enphase systems only.

I have Enphase, not SolarEdge. Can I use OwlWatt?

Yes. Enphase is supported, including live and per-panel data. Start a free 30-day trial.
