PVbutler

Shocking, this app is terrible and simply does not work. Furthermore it makes your phone crash. To make my phone work properly, I had to delete the app from my phone. How this app made passed quality control and made it onto the App Store is beyond me.

Their servers have been down for over a month

This app need update, this not have any notification

The app works great, I can see all the info on my solar system and when the batteries are getting low, that way I can go out and kick on the generator. The only problem is I don’t get any notifications or see an option for notifications. I would like a notification feature that lets you know when your batteries are at 25% that way I can go kick on the generator before the power goes completely out. Please look into notifications then this can be a 5 star Solar app!

I’ve had no problems besides today it keeps saying that the servers down

The app provides basic info on how the solar system is working. Measurements such as solar production, battery charging and discharging and load consumption have been working fine, and can be exported to excel for analysis. But the app has lots of bugs that need to be ironed out, such as in the “generation overview”, where it is not very detailed as to what some of the numbers mean or how are they calculated. I would also point out that on the “pv charge and discharge diagram”, it would be appreciated if the numbers were bigger. Also, installation could be made easier and with less bugs since it took about 3 or 4 attempts to get it working correctly. Lastly, I would like to see a graph of battery voltage, not just SOC %. Overall, it has been working fine, but these bug fixes would make life much easier for users and installers to use the app.

I can monitor how my PV system is working day and night with this app. It provides a lot of data, useful to make any adjustments to your system. It keeps logs of the data for a year to make comparisons on how your system is performing. To the ones setting it up for the first time: use an Android phone or tablet to configure it, then it will work on iOS and webpage.

How are they selling inverters and telling you to use this app that doesn’t work at all. Can’t even get through the set up on iOS. What a waste of time, energy and money. Need to get your developers on this ASAP!!
