SunRanker is what I wished existed that day. Connect a system once (Enphase OAuth, or a SolarEdge site ID plus API key) and it reads production daily, shows it in plain language, and emails you when something actually changes. Three alerts only. The connection broke, the monitoring went quiet, or output has been well below your own typical for days. Plus a short monthly review. No daily drip.
It's free, and my own system is on the homepage with its bad months showing. The gray months are my monitoring going quiet.
Would love feedback on the alert thresholds (drop detection is five days under half of a 28 day baseline) and which brand to support next. Tesla makes this hard for third parties.
Stack, for the curious. Laravel, Livewire, MySQL, and one scheduled job doing the nightly checks.

Solar if anything is something that doesn't "silently break", you literally stop getting electricity. Everyone I know with solar has it front and center how much their batteries currently have charged, if the batteries are suddenly 0% and never increases, how wouldn't people notice?
This seems to be for something like you have a bunch of solar panels on a property/land where you don't visit at all, and you use it for solar panels and you only sell the electricity. But the website seems to be marketed towards individuals, not to companies.
Maybe I just misunderstand who this is for?

If you look at your solar stats or battery stats every day, then yeah you'll notice sooner. But most people don't. Most of the apps for these things suck anyway.
I think this makes perfect sense for people with solar who aren't obsessed with it.
