## What is SolarDashboard?

Use your solar power smarter with SolarDashboard.

Keep track of your photovoltaic system, electricity consumption and solar surplus at all times. SolarDashboard shows your current energy flows in real time – on iPhone, iPad, Mac and as a convenient widget.

Real-time solar monitoring

See at a glance how much power your PV system is currently producing, how much electricity you are using and how much energy is being exported to or imported from the grid.

Supported systems:
SolarEdge, SMA, Kostal, Huawei, Fronius, Growatt, GoodWe and Enphase.

Charge your electric car with solar surplus

Connect your wallbox and charge your electric car automatically with excess solar energy. SolarDashboard dynamically adjusts the charging power to the available solar energy.

You can define:

* from which solar power level charging should start
* which minimum charge level should be reached
* how your solar surplus should be used most efficiently

This helps you lower electricity costs, increase self-consumption and use more green power from your own PV system.

Supported wallboxes:
Easee, Fronius Wattpilot, go-e Charger, Zaptec, NRGkick Connect, SMA EV Charger 22, Wallbox Pulsar Plus and Alfen Eve.

SolarDashboard also supports direct vehicle integration for selected electric cars from Audi, SEAT and Škoda.

Control smart devices with solar power

Use your surplus solar energy for HomeKit or Matter devices. Automatically control air conditioners, infrared heaters, water heaters, pool heaters or smart plugs with green power.

Also ideal for using an iPad as a central home automation device.

Your benefits

More independence:
Use more self-generated electricity and become less dependent on the grid.

Lower electricity costs:
Increase your self-consumption and reduce your electricity bill.

More sustainability:
Use your own green electricity instead of power from fossil sources.

SolarDashboard is available for free. Some features, such as automatic solar surplus charging, require a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

### 4/5 — Grundsätzlich gut aber

*2026-03-20, version 2.0.2*

Die App finde ich grundsätzlich prima gemacht. Die Einrichtung geht relativ schnell und einfach, sofern man alle Daten zur Hand hat und weiß, dass mit dem Token bei der Wallbox der API-Key gemeint ist. Soweit so gut. Leider funktioniert das Solarüberschußladen, wofür ich die App eigentlich haben will, nur mit der Bezahlversion und 4,99 € pro Monat sind m.E. einfach zu viel. Dafür bekomme ich ca. 17 kWh aus dem Netz. Wenn ich die Wallbox einfach manuell steuere, kann ich bei schwankender PV-Leistung auch ruhig ein paar kWh aus dem Netz oder dem Akku ziehen, falls ich selbst nicht schnell genug nachregle. Trotzdem eine prima Idee und gut gemacht.

### 3/5 — Funktioniert wenn die App funktioniert

*2026-03-10, version 2.0.2*

Ich habe im Moment nur die freie Version, da ich 4,99EUR monatlich schon für ziemlich hoch halte. Die ersten 3 Tage hat die App auch super funktioniert, das Laden gestartet und beendet. Leider ist die Aktualisierung selbst immer etwas träge. Seit gestern ging dann aber nichts mehr.. ich musste die App erst Deinstallieren und neu einrichten. Am Mac lief Sie nur am ersten Tag und die Wallbox wird nur kurz angezeigt und dann nurmehr ein Fehler. Die Funktion der App ist eigentlich genau das was ich suche, wenn Sie denn zuverlässig wäre. SCHADE

### 2/5 — Softwarepflege??

*2025-09-27, version 2.0.0*

Seit dem letzten Update kein einloggen mehr möglich und auf Anfragen gibt es keine Rückmeldung! Nachdem ich das Passwort geändert habe kann ich mich einloggen. Aber meinen CUPRA Born findet er nicht. Komisch vor der Tür kann ich das Auto sehen. 🤪

### 5/5 — Tolle einfache App

*2025-07-28, version 1.9.29*

Im Grubde ist die Energiewende gar nicht so schwer zu erreichen. Das zeigt diese App sehr gut, dass klein und  einfach der Schlüssel zum Erfolg sind. Weiter so!

### 5/5 — Super Unterstützung

*2025-07-28, version 1.9.29*

Hat mir sehr weitergeholfen, mega gute App

### 5/5 — Funktioniert super

*2025-07-28, version 1.9.29*

Top App, läuft tadellos!

### 5/5 — Einfach, immer aktuell und zuverlässig

*2025-07-27, version 1.9.29*

Ich nutze die App schon lange und kann sie nur empfehlen. Einfach in der Nutzung, immer aktuell. Zu 100% zu empfehlen

### 3/5 — Nicht mit Kostal

*2025-06-28, version 1.9.28*

Anders als mit der Kostal-App und über einen Browser kann ich mich mit dieser App nicht einloggen – keine Fehlermeldung, nicht bedienbarer dunkelgrauer Bildschirm. Der Entwickler ist interessiert, hat schon Debug-Daten, aber es funktioniert nicht.

### 1/5 — Nach dem letzten Update nicht mehr zu gebrauchen

*2025-03-29, version 1.9.23*

Leider funktionieren die Widgets ich mehr nach dem letzten Update

### 4/5 — Would love to see Emporia EVSE Support

*2025-01-16*

This app would work great for me with support for Emporia EV Charger.

**Developer response:** Hi Trevor,
thank you for your feedback and the great rating!
Emporia EV Charger support is a great idea — we’ve added it to our feature wishlist. If more users request it, we’ll definitely prioritize it.
Feel free to email us at info@tapwork.de if you’d like to share more details about your setup.

Best regards,
The SolarDashboard Team
