SolarEdge Mapper holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2.

Written reviews complicate that: 30% of SolarEdge Mapper's written reviews are positive against 33% of SunPowerProConnect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SolarEdge Mapper ships an update every 5 weeks, SunPowerProConnect monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
