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?
- danpalmer 2mo agoI've never seen someone with only solar, basically everyone is still connected to the grid, so you don't stop getting electricity, you just start getting a bill. 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.

- conorcleary 2mo agoSome systems only report production once a month but don't need to work for the dwelling to have electricity from the grid.
