my-PV Setup is the official commissioning app for your my-PV devices, which put surplus solar power to use for hot water and heating. Whether ACβ€’THOR, AC ELWA 2 or another compatible product β€” this app guides you step by step through the entire initial configuration. From finding the device on your local network to connecting it to the my-PV Cloud, you handle everything conveniently from your smartphone, tablet or computer. FEATURES β€’ Automatic device discovery Every my-PV device on your network is found without any further input and presented at a glance. β€’ Manual setup If automatic discovery is not possible, you can connect directly via the device's IP address. β€’ Guided configuration A clear step-by-step assistant takes you through mode selection, network settings, cloud connection and transferring the configuration. β€’ All operating modes supported Hot water 3.5 kW, stratified charging, 3 + 3 kW, hot water + heat pump, hot water + space heating, space heating with one heating circuit, and hot water + PWM. β€’ Flexible network configuration Choose between Wi-Fi, Ethernet or the device's own access point. β€’ Add peripheral devices Connect compatible inverters and other peripherals to your my-PV device straight from the app. β€’ my-PV Cloud Enable the cloud connection if you wish, for remote monitoring, data logging and automatic firmware updates. β€’ Factory reset Restore a device to its delivery state with a single click whenever you need to. WHO IS THE APP FOR? my-PV Setup is aimed at installers, electricians and technically minded end customers commissioning a my-PV device for the first time or extending an existing installation. No prior knowledge of IP networks is required β€” the app explains every step in plain language. PRIVACY Communication with your device takes place directly on your local network. Data is only transmitted to my-PV servers if you actively enable the cloud connection. In that case only operating data such as energy production, temperature values and device status is processed. Apart from the serial number, no personal data is collected. The cloud connection can be disabled at any time in the device settings.
