Apple version is also available free https://apps.apple.com/au/app/fronius-solar-web-pro/id431601…
This is a pro version of Fronius app

PROMOTION - until further notice free of charge

With the Fronius Solar.web PRO app you get a professional, comprehensive overview on the data of your PV system(s) with Fronius inverter(s).

Features of the PRO version:
- Watch the current values and the complete archive data of your PV systems
- Keep the overview by visualization of several systems at a glance
- Compare your systems with each other
- Show pictures of your PV systems to your friends
- Locate your systems on the map
- Get extended information about the PV systems
- Intuitive, easy-to-use interface

To use the app for viewing your own PV system data, your system has to be registered at the online portal Fronius Solar.web (within the setup wizard of the app or on www.solarweb.com). After installing the app on your device, you can constantly keep an eye on the current energy yield, CO2 savings, earnings and the archive data of your PV system.

    They sell the inverter for thousands of dollars and still charge five bucks for the app? Sounds ridiculous.

    • lgacb08 on 21/08/2019 - 21:59

      there is a free app that's always free. But that's nothing compared to the system, to get full use then you probably need an additional $300 for the smart meter

        The free app doesn't show consumption but pointless if there is no smart meter

      Valuing SMALL contributions is Part + Parcel of Solar PV

      It's a Low Density-Energy Source, totally dependent on Weather

      Maybe companies who try to push such a dim, IMO, business model
      tend to adopt "Small is Valuable" or Can't afford to miss any $

      News Flash: Greta Thornberg's arrived in N America for the big meeting

      Meanwhile, work continues (in Canada, Indonesia, & elsewhere) on:

      • High Energy-Density, Safe, Small (up to 400 MWe), Liquid-Fuel Molten Salt Reactors (MSR), that work tirelessly 24x7, like our computers

      (Don't confuse MSR's with our current Costly + Wasteful Nuclear plant!

      Get a Clue of the MSRs coming ~2030, eg, here:

      • YouTube "Pedersen TEDxCopenhagen"

      OK, so, MSR ver 1, fueled with Uranium comes first; MSR ver 2, fueled with Thorium comes next… Still each MSR version's heaps better than Coal & Gas:

      3,000,000 mt toxic Coal = 200 mt Uranium = 1 mt Thorium (in v.2 MSR)

      To see AU's Coal dinosaurs (Vic, Qld, NSW): app "ElectricityMap"

      To get a clue how much more Energy-Dense even today's Nuclear is,
      look at Ontario's Power EXPORTS here:

      • Live.GridWatch.CA (ie, at page-bottom)

      Green Nuclear Energy = a More Effective way to Fix Climate than AU's

    1. 2.8 rating on play store, 2.1 rating on app store.
    2. Has not been updated in over 2 years.
    3. From the comments it sounds broken and very basic.

    No wonder they are giving it for free.

      I wouldn't say broken, but apart from the widget it's no better than using solarweb.com

        Yep, the Widget is the best feature of this app.

        • XeKToReX on 21/08/2019 - 23:00

          Didn't know about this.. better try it out!

        • viirgon on 22/08/2019 - 11:08

          Widget not very useful in terms of the information it is displaying. Waste of screen space.

      • noisymime on 22/08/2019 - 09:35

        The widget is broken too. it just fails to update after a day or so for me.

      • aarkay on 22/08/2019 - 11:20

        Widget has always been there in free version as well, don’t need ti go pro for the widget

    • viirgon on 22/08/2019 - 11:07

      While functional, interface is so outdated; should at least have a similar look and feel as the web version. Quite shameful really for such an established product.

    I got the premium version when I had my solar done and I want very impressed.

    I end up using PVOutput for all monitoring, 10 times better than fronius logging

    • Grunef on 21/08/2019 - 21:17

      Solar.web is really useful for troubleshooting though. Checking grid voltages, and string current etc.

      • xelfer on 21/08/2019 - 21:27

        and you can just add the premium version to your cart and get it free for what seems forever

          haha that is insane, i just clicked the premium and checked out and it didn't charge anything. I just assumed it was going to cost some crazy amount.

    • lgacb08 on 21/08/2019 - 22:01

      pvoutput is not accurate, each day output seems to be out by about 0.1-0.2kwh. I compared data between solar.web, my distributor website and pvoutput, the first two always match up

      • resisting the urge on 21/08/2019 - 23:23

        I'd be surprised if pvoutput.org was any 'wronger' than the other mobs.

        Maybe check the raw data- paste a day's data into a spread sheet to compare where pvoutput varies it. It probably applies a factor for standard losses, rather than assume all power recorded by the inverter/consumption meter gets recorded by the utilities meter.

      • reubenb87 on 22/08/2019 - 07:43

        PVoutput does the totals itself based on recordings so it doesn't capture changes that happen within the 5mins (assumes it was that reading for the whole 5 mins). Over 1 year wouldn't expect to be out by too much.

      • thorpef1 on 22/08/2019 - 14:13

        pvoutput only records what the inverter pushes to it so garbage in, garbage out
        And for the level of reporting etc that it does, i wouldnt be too worried about 0.1kwh a day

    • jeeg on 22/08/2019 - 09:46

      Hi mate, could you please share your output parameters to export to pvo? I have done the same but find that my pvo data differs greatly from solar web. Must be something I did wrong to the pvo parameters.

    "- Show pictures of your PV systems to your friends"

    Cannot tell you how long ive been waiting for an app that allows me to show my friends pics of PV Systems.. 5 stars!!

  • crazynic on 21/08/2019 - 22:33

    Is there a chart for consumption? Can only see production.

    • resisting the urge on 21/08/2019 - 23:18
      +1

      To do that you need the Fronius meter, once instlaled in your meter box you just plug it into the Fronius inverter's RS485 terminal. The inverter will then feed your consumption data to solar web and/or pvoutput.org

      • crazynic on 21/08/2019 - 23:23

        Yes i got the smart meter. On the solarweb page i can switch between production and consumption but not on the pro app.

  • nurbsenvi on 21/08/2019 - 23:48

    Well, need to buy smart metre first

    • aarkay on 22/08/2019 - 11:23

      Smart meter is installed free by energy provider. Consumption meter is something you need to pay for. Costs about $300.

    An improvement over the standard app. Glad I downloaded it. Doesn't warrant all the negative comments.

  • Tnismo on 22/08/2019 - 07:57

    Thanks for posting this.going to give this a try to see how it is.
    I’ve got the fronius inverter but decided to go with solar analytics over fronius and glad I did that.it monitors both production plus consumption plus system performance. Also it got expected production calculated daily based on weather and location data.

    • RocketPhantom on 22/08/2019 - 08:09

      Solar Analytics is very nice for residential customers,

    • viirgon on 22/08/2019 - 11:34

      Didnt know about Solar Analytics - should have done my homework before getting the Fronius smart meter!

      • Krazyy on 22/08/2019 - 23:40

        Yeah I’ve got solar analytics and love it.

    • bamzero on 26/08/2019 - 03:46

      Solar Analytics is a nice product.

      For the rest of us we can get expected production manually using Solcast

  • Fergy1987 on 22/08/2019 - 08:07

    Just got a fronius installed, so this is good timing :P

    EDIT: Just installed it……….what is the point? its not much different to the free version, seems to have a different layout with the same info lol? Am I missing something

    • lgacb08 on 22/08/2019 - 08:21

      To have better use of this app you need a smart meter installed too

    • Krazyy on 22/08/2019 - 23:41

      I actually prefer the free version layout.

  • Herbse on 22/08/2019 - 08:24

    The app is more to use as a quick glance at what your solar and smart meter is doing. The solarweb site is a lot more detailed.

    Even if you haven't got solar yet but think you will eventually. Grab this and keep it. There's a good chance you'll go with a fronius inverter.

  • dogzilla on 22/08/2019 - 09:56

    I use the free version all the time, its great and very useful (a bit clunky but otherwise fine).

    I think the only better thing about the pro version is it gives you a history of production and consumption

    Apart from that the free version does everything i need. Agree - it should have been free for Pro with a Solar System but hey

    ….so iphone covers should be free too right given they're for iphones that cost $1.5k?

    • meatgasm on 22/08/2019 - 10:47

      I'd be pissed of if I paid $1.5k for an iPhone but then had to pay $5 to check the battery in the settings …
