Monitoring Your System

Tesla Mobile App to Monitor Your Solar Panels System

The Tesla app provides you with a seamless experience to monitor your solar system’s performance and historical production over a given time period. Download the Tesla app to start monitoring your solar panel energy production.

Some solar panel systems have full home energy monitoring for home usage and grid consumption — learn more about energy data, impact cards and power flows in the Tesla app. If you already own Powerwall, the Tesla app experience for solar panels with Powerwall gives you access to additional features, control modes and insightful data.

Getting Started with the Tesla App

Once your utility grants you permission to operate (PTO) your system, we will send you an email confirming that you can activate your system and begin using the Tesla app. In order to sign in, you will need the following:

Email Address: Use the same email address in which you received our activation confirmation email.

Solar System Connectivity

For systems installed with a Tesla Solar Inverter, the inverter is connected to the internet via Wi-Fi or Ethernet, allowing the system to communicate solar production.

For systems installed with a third-party solar inverter, a Gateway 1 or 2 is provided at installation to connect to the internet and provide solar production monitoring. Gateway 1 or 2 connects to your home network via an Ethernet cable and communicates with your solar inverter wirelessly. Additional instructions for installing your Solar Gateway can be reviewed in the Owner’s Manual for your system.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do I do if I lose solar monitoring?

For systems installed with a Tesla Solar Inverter, check that the inverter is powered on and connected to your home router or internet modem. If the Tesla Solar Inverter loses its internet connection, follow the troubleshooting steps to change network settings.

For systems installed with a third-party solar inverter, check that the solar Gateway provided with your Tesla solar system is powered on and connected to your home router or internet modem.
