How Do I Know If My Solar System Is Working?

The easiest way to check your solar system is to open your solar monitoring app.

Every grid-tied solar system installed by Maine Solar Solutions includes free solar monitoring software that lets you track your system’s performance in real time. Using the app on your phone, tablet, or computer, you can see how much electricity your system is producing, review historical production, and, if your system includes battery storage, monitor your battery’s performance as well.

Instead of wondering whether your system is producing electricity, you can quickly check the app to see how it’s performing from anywhere. You can also review historical production to better understand how your solar system performs throughout the year.
