SolarEdge Go

Overview

SolarEdge Go is a free mobile app for installers handling SolarEdge photovoltaic sites and fleets. It suits crews already working with compatible SolarEdge equipment, especially those who need to move between installation and service tasks. Its advantage is a shared mobile workspace; its reach is narrowed by cloud dependence and remote-access restrictions.

Key features

Site and fleet management

The app brings together tasks from SetApp, Mapper, and Monitoring. Installers can create and edit sites, apply SolarEdge Designer plans, register or replace devices, and manage site users and permissions. A map-based fleet view, site details, alerts, and critical-issue response help teams prioritize service across multiple sites. Full Mapper integration remains a future capability, so the combined workflow is not yet complete.

Installation and remote service

On site, installers can configure and register devices. Cloud-based commissioning and support-ticket management are coming soon, which leaves those workflows outside the app's current capabilities. Remote inverter and system access supports diagnostics and configuration, potentially reducing the need for a site visit. But it is beta, restricted to account administrators, and works only with supported SetApp-enabled leader inverters running CPU version 4.13 or higher. Sessions last up to 15 minutes, and remote actions require admin permissions.

Cloud access and connectivity

SolarEdge Cloud tools sync data, import designs, show site information and alerts, and support user registration and management. Full functionality requires internet access; without it, use is limited to local commissioning through a direct inverter connection. This makes the app a weaker fit for crews who need a broad offline workflow.

Pricing

SolarEdge Go: free. SolarEdge account credentials are required. There are no paid tiers to trade features against, making the app a straightforward option for installers who can use its SolarEdge-specific workflows. Its limitations are compatibility, connectivity, and scope rather than a paid upgrade threshold.

Platforms

SolarEdge Go is available for Android and iOS. The guide requires Android 11 or higher or iOS 14 or higher, and says internet connectivity is required for full functionality.

Who it's for

This is an installer tool for residential and commercial sites, not a homeowner monitoring app; homeowners are directed to mySolarEdge. It is most useful for SolarEdge installers who manage several sites and can work within the supported inverter and account requirements. SolarEdge says it follows ISO 27001 information security practices and has adopted ISO 27017 cloud security guidance.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Site, fleet, installation, and service tasks share one mobile app, with map-based fleet oversight and site-level alerts.
• Pros: The free plan supports cloud tools and on-site device configuration without a paid tier.
• Cons: Full Mapper integration, cloud-based commissioning, and support-ticket management are still future capabilities.
• Cons: Remote access depends on compatible SetApp-enabled leader inverters, admin permissions, internet access, and 15-minute sessions.

Verdict

SolarEdge Go is a sensible free choice for installers who need mobile site and fleet management around compatible SolarEdge equipment. Its strongest reason to choose it is the combination of field configuration, cloud tools, and remote diagnostics in one app. Look elsewhere if you need complete Mapper integration, cloud commissioning, reliable offline breadth, or remote access beyond its narrow device, permission, and session limits.
