Solar Live
Read full descriptionHide full description
Solar Live is a dedicated Live Status monitor for metered Enphase® solar systems. When on the same local network as your Enphase IQ® Gateway Metered™ or Envoy S Metered™ gateway, it shows the live status for solar power production, consumption and grid import/export. Solar Live starts up and shows the status in less than a second, and refreshes every second – all via the local network, without any delay. IMPORTANT Solar Live is an independent app and is not created by, commissioned by, affiliated with, or endorsed by Enphase. It is intended as a complement to Enphase's own app. LOCAL NETWORK USE ONLY Solar Live only works while on the same network as your Enphase gateway. Unless your Enphase gateway is directly accessible from the internet (not typical), this means it only works when your device is connected to your local (home) network with the Enphase gateway. REQUIREMENTS Solar Live requires a metered Enphase Gateway (Enphase IQ® Gateway Metered™ or Envoy S Metered™ gateway) that provides consumption and grid import/export data as well as solar power production data. Gateway firmware version 7 or higher is required. (Almost all gateways will be running version 7 or 8 by now.) For Solar Live to connect to the Enphase gateway, a local access token needs to be generated by the Enphase account associated with the gateway. The app guides you through that process. COMPATIBILITY Enphase systems that contain battery storage and/or generators are not supported. PRIVACY Solar Live runs completely locally on your device. No registration is needed. No data is collected, transmitted to, or shared with anyone.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Solar Live at every 4 days against iLabs's every 3 weeks. iLabs's advantage is iOS requirement (15.6 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
