Professional monitoring for your photovoltaic system.
Important:
The KOSTAL Solar App now obtains data from the new KOSTAL Solar portal. Data and information from the PIKO Solar Portal are no longer displayed in the app.
To enable you to use the KOSTAL Solar App with your existing solar portal account, KOSTAL will send you a welcome e-mail in the the next few days, asking you to re-enter your password. If you do not want to wait for the welcome e-mail, you can use the "Reset password" function on the KOSTAL Solar Portal website for your existing account.
KOSTAL Solar App
The free KOSTAL Solar App offers professional monitoring of your photovoltaic system. You can conveniently and easily retrieve all functions from your smartphone or tablet at any time.
To set up and use the app, you need access to the KOSTAL solar portal and an inverter installed there. For the login of the app the same access data as for the solar portal are needed.
General information
With the KOSTAL Solar App, you can now conveniently monitor your solar systems while you are on the move or from your couch, and display relevant system data. You have the opportunity to access the consumption and generation data over different periods such as day, week, month and year, as well as access to the historical data of your plant. With this app, you are always up to date.
Download the free KOSTAL Solar App now and take advantage of the new and enhanced features.
Start page
On the start page, the current home consumption is shown graphically as well as percentage. You can immediately see from the diagram how your own home consumption is covered by PV, a battery or the public grid. A new feature shows you a 3-day forecast for generation and home consumption.
With a simple swipe action with your finger to "right" or "left" on the individual tiles, you can view more areas. By clicking on the drop-down arrows, you can display extended dates or periods.
Last data
Under the "Last Data" the last live values of the last transfer to your installation are displayed to the KOSTAL Solar Portal. The new diagram shows the home consumption [W], the feed in [W], the generation [W], as well as values relating to a battery.
If you do not have a own battery yet, you can use the KOSTAL Solar App to activate a virtual battery and see the resulting savings. Try it for yourself and see what the Virtual Battery calculates.
History
Under "History" you can graphically display the historical data of your plant. Here you can switch between the daily, monthly, annual and total values of domestic consumption and production. You can switch these views of house consumption and generation again with a "swipe action".
The highlight of the KOSTAL Solar App is the virtual battery, in which you can select a desired capacity and calculate an individual forecast.
In the lower area you will see an overview of your respective values (home consumption / production). The data from the last available periods are compared in weekly, monthly or annual sections. Thus, you can immediately see if your income has increased or decreased compared to previous years.

Poor language implementation
As a prospective customer, I downloaded this app to see if it’s any better or worse than the apps of some other solar power inverter manufacturers. The first objective of a UX is to interact with the user in a language the user understands. My default iOS language setting is English, with Swedish and German being secondary. No matter what I do, this app switches its language setting to Spanish whenever it is launched. This is nonsense! My region setting is Portugal and I have no setting anywhere for Spanish. I am therefore reluctant to buy any solar equipment from this company.
What a joke
They upgrade their app 5 days ago with “ changes for a faster and more reliable experience “. It is only slower and worse. Even the web interface is very very slow. The data is not coming te present it self’s at all. Seems too me no improvement at all, only unhappy customers as we have now no insight in our data at all.
How long to have the app available?!
Hello Kostal, it is painful to have so long unavailability of an app that I use in a daily basis. When will this be finished?
Mr MDS
This has got to be one of the worst apps I’ve had to use . Unfortunately I did not know this before buying my solar system from KOSTAL had I known I would not have bought this system.
And now for I don’t know how long it’s not working. How long does it take to do maintenance on an app?????
Error, no data
Very enjoying. Again like last time. They come with an upgrade and the app is not working many more . Only “Error, no data” and I do not get it working. Deleted it, downloaded it again, put my username and password but each time same error. Looks like they did a rush job and did not test it out thoroughly.
