### 3/5 — Missing comparison

*2026-08-30*

I was hoping to see on the same power generation graph a comparison between current year/month/day and same time last year to see how my system is performing and energy production same time every year. This feature was there on the previous SEMS app, and no longer in SEMS+

### 2/5 — Stabile Funktion, leider sehr unübersichtlich

*2026-08-23*

Schade, dass so viel Platz für eine nutzlose Animation verschwendet wird. Was zählt sind doch die Zahlen. Auf dem Tablet kann man nicht mal die 4 wichtigsten Angaben (früher in der „einfachen“ Animation schön kompakt dargestellt Erzeugung, Verbrauch, SOC und Bezug) sehen ohne zu scrollen. Hier gibts noch deutlich Luft nach oben!

### 4/5 — Meistens sehr zuverlässig

*2026-08-20*

Aus meiner Sicht wurde das ganze recht übersichtlich gestaltet. Was etwas zur Verwirrung beiträgt sind z.B. PV Leistung in gesamt Übersicht nicht gleich der PV Leistung im Bereich Wechselrichter. Ein weiteres Widget für den Sperrbildschirm mit frei konfigurierbaren Werten wäre super wie z.B. Aktueller PV Ertrag und Tagesertrag. Oder Aktuell PV und aktuell Speicher Zustand. So das man es bei IOS am IPhone als kleines Widget mit zwei Zeilen oder breites mit 4 Werten einfügen kann. Ein schnellerer Zugriff auf die Batterie wäre schön, das man nicht erst auf den Wechselrichter und von diesem auf die angeschlossene Batterie wählen muss. Das allgemeine Design ist sehr gelungen. Schön wäre es beim Tages Graphen, wenn man die PV Leistung nicht nur als Gesamtgraph sondern auch die jeweiligen Mppt Strings sehen könnte ohne in den Bereich Wechselrichter wechseln zu müssen. Vielen Dank

### 3/5 — Lack of data post update

*2026-08-05*

Was very happy with the app prior to the latest software update of my inverter. It would seem the only data now visible is the grid export total for the day. It now lacks the AC generated and energy consumption data. So I have no visual of power in from grid or what the load that is used by the load and back to the batteries

**Developer response:** We are very sorry to bring you a bad experience. Please ask if you do not have an electric meter. Not having an electric meter will cause abnormal calculation of these data, so it is not displayed. If you have any questions, please contact jifei.he@goodwe.com.

### 2/5 — Zu langsam bei der Aktuallisierung

*2026-07-27*

Die App ist grafisch deutlich zeitgemäßer., jedoch zeigt sie 5 Minuten zeitverzögert die Werte des Wechselrichters an. Dies ist irritierend, wenn man prüfen möchte ob die unterschiedlichen Wetterbedingungen vom Smartmeter richtig verarbeitet werden. Ich könnte alternativ per lokalem Zugriff dies prüfen, dieser ist jedoch aufwändiger.

**Developer response:** Es tut uns sehr leid, dass Ihnen dadurch Unannehmlichkeiten entstanden sind. Könnten Sie uns bitte eine Beschreibung des Problems, Screenshots sowie die Seriennummer der Anlage bzw. des Geräts an jifei.he@goodwe.com senden, damit wir das Problem untersuchen können? Wir werden uns so schnell wie möglich bei Ihnen melden. Vielen Dank.

### 4/5 — Update firmware

*2026-07-16*

It was all running so well until I did the last update  a month ago. The TOU does not work as set and the simulation shows random flow of power from grid even if I am off grid. I finally got this fixed after my brother told me to upgrade the firmware in my system which can be easily done via the SolarGo app only. This is now working back as normal.

**Developer response:** Hello, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. Could you please send a description of the issue, screenshots, and the serial number (SN) of the power plant or device to jifei.he@goodwe.com so that we can investigate? We will get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you.

### 3/5 — Drops connection to WiFi

*2026-07-14*

The system will drop its wifi connection but never reconnects automatically. You have to open the SEMS app, reconnect the wifi (which it remembers) and then the app will communicate to the system.  Happens all the time and it’s frustrating to the point of looking at different inverter

**Developer response:** Hello, we are very sorry for the inconvenience caused to you. We are still continuing to optimize. We have forwarded it to relevant colleagues. If you have any questions, please contact jifei.he@goodwe.com.

### 4/5 — Device in not recognised

*2026-07-03*

This app has recognised the devise after around 10 days of setup on its own. Not sure why it was not recognised as soon as the installation completed.

**Developer response:** Hello, we are very sorry for the inconvenience. Could you please send the problem description, screenshots and power station/equipment SN to jifei.he@goodwe.com so that we can troubleshoot? We will get back to you as soon as possible. Thanks.

### 4/5 — Getting Better

*2026-06-29*

The migration away from SolarGo app into the SEMS+ app is making progress. I bought an ESA inverter with 24kWh of Goodwe batteries and a Goodwe EV charger and the ecosystem is working well. I’d like to see more flexibility in setting tariffs (my electricity supplier has daily peak/offpeak periods but not at weekends). Also an ability to schedule tariffs by UTC would be great to take the hassle out of daylight saving change over. Or have a setting that retains absolute time during the change. Same goes for the EV charger scheduling. Some of the English in the manuals is hard to follow especially when unfamiliar with the concepts a setting relates to. Keep up the good work - the app is maturing.

**Developer response:** Hello, this is usually abnormal animation playback caused by the mobile phone system settings. Please find the "animation" or "weaken dynamic effects" related options in the mobile phone system settings and make sure the animation is turned on to return to normal. If you have any questions, please email jifei.he@goodwe.com

### 3/5 — Design good but poor management

*2026-06-26*

App is very interactive but very tough to use e.g to compare last year units with current year, many steps have to follow

**Developer response:** We deeply apologize for the inconvenience. We are still working on optimizations. If you have any questions, please contact jifei.he@goodwe.com

### 2/5 — Lost functionality

*2026-06-12*

Old version SEMS+ gives me perfect control of my EV charger.  This new version almost always gives an error message.  I’m forced to stick with old version until something is fixed.

**Developer response:** Hello, we are very sorry for the inconvenience. Could you please send the problem description, screenshots and power station/equipment SN to jifei.he@goodwe.com so that we can troubleshoot? We will get back to you as soon as possible. Thanks.

### 2/5 — Constantly Offline

*2026-06-07*

Since we’ve had our battery this App has spent more time not working with no readings as it’s offline. Almost every second day. Not very helpful for the technology it could provide. It’s not our Internet as we have satellite and that’s 100%. Something needs work.

**Developer response:** Hello, we are very sorry for the inconvenience. Could you please send the problem description, screenshots and power station/equipment SN to jifei.he@goodwe.com so that we can troubleshoot? We will get back to you as soon as possible. Thanks.

### 4/5 — Battery

*2026-06-04*

Found it easy to navigate. But would be good if you are running two battery stacks in parallel. They could so SOC individually an as a whole system.

**Developer response:** We support adding multiple batteries. If you have any questions, please contact jifei.he@goodwe.com.

### 4/5 — Need a widget

*2026-05-22*

Easy to use. However, really needs a widget to show battery % at a quick glance on lock and/or Home Screen. Can’t be that hard.

**Developer response:** We are very happy to inform you that the latest version 2.5.2 of the App now supports screen widgets. Thank you for your use. Please contact jifei.he@goodwe.com if you have any questions.

### 4/5 — Great app, but needs text size adjustment options

*2026-05-22*

I am really enjoying using the SEMS+ app. It works great, but the text size is a bit too small for me. Every time I open the app, I have to look for my reading glasses just to read the data. It would be incredibly helpful if you could add a text size adjustment feature in the settings. Thank you for the great app!

**Developer response:** Hello, we are very sorry for the inconvenience caused to you. We are still optimizing. Regarding the issue of font size, I have recorded it and forwarded it to relevant colleagues. If you have any questions, please contact jifei.he@goodwe.com.

### 2/5 — Viel schlechter als die alte

*2026-05-21*

Die App bietet eine viel schlechtere Übersicht als die alte App. Warum will man nicht die alten Ansichten zusätzlich ermöglichen. Gibt doch gar keinen Grund, darauf zu verzichten. Insbesondere die Grafen sind nicht gut.

**Developer response:** Wir bedauern die Unannehmlichkeiten sehr. Wir optimieren immer noch. Wenn Sie Fragen haben, wenden Sie sich bitte an jifei.he@goodwe.com

### 3/5 — Mal wieder fehlt die Übersichtsseite

*2026-05-20*

Schade. Optisch ansprechend und modern mit einem frischen Auftritt. Aber der für uns wesentliche Gesamtüberblick mit der Startseite fehlt wieder. Wie damals bei dem Start des Vorgängers. Ich hoffe das wird nachgeliefert.

**Developer response:** Hallo, die neue Version der Homepage-Übersicht wird in den nächsten zwei Tagen online sein. Sie können es zu diesem Zeitpunkt überprüfen. Wenn Sie Fragen haben, wenden Sie sich bitte an jifei.he@goodwe.com.

### 2/5 — Communication errrors

*2026-05-16*

More often than not there is no live data and both my inverter and EV charger show as offline as does my system generally.  The SolarGo app shows both inverter and charger as operating normally and both devices show up on my router.  It seems to be the app that is not communicating with my devices despite reinstalling it and ensuring the most recent updated version.

### 3/5 — Recent update

*2026-05-11*

Goodwe added a SOC limit for TOU mode then removed it. 

It need more control over inverter/battery with other company’s showing more information like time to full charge or set SOC and time to discharge or set discharge limit. 

Settings would be hard to find for some but I’m use to it now. 

Overall needs a bit of tweaking

### 1/5 — Zero features for Pakistan

*2026-08-18*

There are literally zero features for the Pakistani market. We are feeling left out. All the features are for either Australia or EU region. I am highly disappointed in Goodwe. :(

### 1/5 — power factor always 0

*2026-07-11*

"Power factor is showing 0 after the latest iOS app update. Active power and current are working fine. Please fix this bug."

**Developer response:** Hello, we are very sorry for the inconvenience. Could you please send the problem description, screenshots and power station/equipment SN to jifei.he@goodwe.com so that we can troubleshoot? We will get back to you as soon as possible. Thanks.

### 1/5 — Export not working

*2026-05-25*

Worked great until the latest version, now it refuses to export any power in TOU mode. Export power limit says -1w off and you can’t change it. Very disappointing.

**Developer response:** Hi, we're sorry to hear about this issue with TOU mode settings. Could you please send screenshots and your plant/device SN to jifei.he@goodwe.com so we can investigate? We will get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you.

### 1/5 — Not working at all

*2026-05-21*

Was working until 20may26- now won’t load any data. Please fix this.

### 1/5 — No grid data

*2026-05-20*

I can’t access Grid Data. The feedback was useless. Old app was much better.

### 1/5 — Worst app

*2026-05-10*

Recently onboarded on it, my device is always showing offline, always showing current power 0KWh. A difference of lifetime units of 2000 units from the old app. 
If you can’t fix this, stop updating this app.

### 1/5 — TOU lacking features

*2026-05-10*

Main issues:

- Not able to discharge back to the grid to a certain SOC - i.e. discharge to 60% SOC so there’s enough left over to run the house till the next morning
- Not able to set how many KW to discharge to the grid - currently it has a discharge power limit but that includes the load of the house. It would be better to have a grid discharge KW limit

### 1/5 — Terrible nothing works

*2026-04-30*

What a terrible app, no way to stop or start charger, no way to change charging modes. Have to use a separate app and log in as an administrator to do anything. This app is pointless and the old app is being discontinued

### 1/5 — Classic App war besser

*2026-04-24*

Ein Update sollte Verbesserung mit sich bringen und keine Verschlechterung. Man blickt nichts mehr durch, z.B. kann man einzelne Tage zum letzten Jahr nicht mehr vergleichen oder man kann nicht mehr sehen wieviel tatsächlich Strom eingespeist wurde oder wieviel von der Batterie verbraucht wurde. Man kann nicht erkennen wieviel Strom man zugekauft hat. Eine Verbesserung gibt es, man kann jetzt eingespeiste Strom und verbrauchte Strom Preise einzeln eingeben.

### 1/5 — Metrics broken

*2026-04-21*

Great UI but the metrics are a complete mess. Shows my plant generates MWh of power per day so the charts comparing grid vs plant supply are useless.

### 5/5 — Super App!

*2026-08-20*

Übersichtlich und modern gestaltet.

### 5/5 — Simple but fine

*2026-06-28*

Great app, gets updated often sometimes too often, each time things improve.

**Developer response:** Hello, thank you very much for your recognition of us. We will continue to work hard. Regarding the issue of frequent updates, we have new features online every month. We are sorry for the inconvenience. If you have any questions, please contact jifei.he@goodwe.com and we will reply to you as soon as possible.

### 5/5 — Update review

*2026-06-04*

I’m happy with the app layout and features. Such an achievement. Just one thing I was hoping for regarding latest “homepage” update was including removing the “generation and revenue calculation” widget so it’s just the house view. It would give customers choice of serenity and balance. Please consider.

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for your recognition of us, we will continue to work hard. If you have any questions, please contact jifei.he@goodwe.com and we will reply to you as soon as possible.

### 5/5 — We are now in control !!

*2026-05-22*

The sems+ app is great, we now have everything we need to optimize our power usage. It would be good to have more information specifically  on grid usage and calculated associated costs and to trend this information, as our goal like many households is to reduce power bills. Also the option for some alerts would be good ie battery full, empty, high grid usage.

**Developer response:** Hello, thank you very much for your recognition of us, we will continue to work hard. Your suggestions have been recorded and forwarded to our relevant colleagues. If you have any questions, please contact jifei.he@goodwe.com and we will reply to you as soon as possible.

### 5/5 — Relieved to find this app

*2026-05-17*

I had been complaining about the bad app from goodwe found this app yesterday, it allows me to
Easily and Conveniently switch between different modes of inverter, understand my production and consumption patterns throughout the day. I also like the house UI.

### 5/5 — Amazing App

*2026-05-06*

The SEMs+ app is sleek, efficient and responsive. The battery just works based on what settings you set. 

I seen other apps from “leading” battery manufacturers and yes there is more data however it makes running your battery convoluted. Keep up the good work GoodWe!

**Developer response:** Thank you for your kind words! We're glad you find SEMS+ sleek and easy to use. Our goal is to make the user experience simple and efficient. We'll keep improving — stay tuned for more updates!

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-04-17*

难得一见

### 5/5 — Super 👍🏼

*2026-02-25*

Funktion einwandfrei und es gibt zusätzlich mehr Übersichten und mehr Einstellungsmöglichkeiten.

### 5/5 — UI Customization Enhancement

*2026-02-05*

Provide an option to change the screen background color and consolidate all other UI functionalities into a single application.

### 5/5 — Endlich Moderner

*2026-01-21*

Das neue Design geht in die richtige Richtung. Das aussehen der APP ist nun wieder auf höhe der Zeit. Auch schon das man nun direkt aus der APP via Bluetooth auf seinen Wechselrichter zurückgreifen kann. Die SolarGo App benötigt man damit nicht mehr.
Ich persönlich fand jedoch die alte Schamtische Grafik des Stromfluss besser und übersichtlicher. Das abgebildete Haus mit dem Strommast ist nicht überall auf der Welt so.
Vielleicht kann Goodwe in Zukunft eine Auswahl der Grafik anbieten.
