A solar monitoring customer portal is a branded web application that gives homeowners and commercial clients real-time visibility into energy production, system health, and service history. Generic manufacturer dashboards from Enphase or SolarEdge push their brand, not yours. A custom portal keeps your company front-and-center from the first installation update through year 25 of the system's life.
FAQ
Can you integrate with both Enphase and SolarEdge APIs simultaneously?
Yes. We build a normalization layer that ingests data from Enphase Enlighten, SolarEdge Monitoring, and other inverter APIs into a single unified schema. Your customers see one consistent dashboard regardless of what's sitting on their roof. The architecture also supports adding new inverter brands later without rebuilding the frontend from scratch.
Do customers need to create new accounts separate from Enphase or SolarEdge?
Your portal handles its own authentication through Supabase Auth—email/password, magic links, or SSO. Inverter API connections happen server-side using installer-level credentials, so customers never have to log into Enphase or SolarEdge directly. One login, one brand experience, no confusion.
How does a custom portal compare to white-label solutions like Sunvoy or Bodhi?
White-label vendors give you branding control, but you're still on their infrastructure, paying per-seat fees, and waiting on their feature roadmap. A custom portal means you own the codebase, control the data, and can ship features—service plan upsells, referral programs, whatever makes sense for your business—without getting in line behind someone else's backlog.
What happens if Enphase or SolarEdge changes their API?
We build inverter integrations behind an abstraction layer. When an API version changes, we update the adapter without touching your dashboard code. Your 30-day post-launch support covers initial API stability, and we offer ongoing maintenance retainers for long-term monitoring.
Can the portal support commercial and residential customers on one platform?
Absolutely. Role-based access means residential homeowners get a simplified production view while commercial customers get multi-site fleet dashboards, aggregated reporting, and user management for facility managers. Same codebase, different experiences driven by account type.
How long does it take to build a solar monitoring portal from scratch?
A production-ready portal with one inverter integration, branded dashboard, project tracker, and document hub typically ships in 10-12 weeks. Multiple inverter APIs or native mobile apps add another 2-4 weeks to that. Every project gets scoped with a fixed delivery date—no open-ended timelines.
