User Reviews

User reviews show the app is valued for planning solar charging with a day-ahead PV forecast and an easy-to-use interface, but is plagued by major accuracy issues and aggressive monetization. Repeated complaints cite wrong production estimates, incorrect dates/times, and location mismatches. Many users feel the free version is unusable and the paid plan is expensive, with feature gaps such as limited arrays, lack of model choice, and currency settings. Ads are frequently described as intrusive.

Pros

Great for planning solar charging.
Provides a day-ahead PV forecast to guide energy use.
Easy to use interface and generally reliable when functioning.
Gives a clear daily forecast that helps with load adjustments.

Cons

Inaccurate PV forecasts and data inconsistencies across days.
Too many ads / ad traps that disrupt usage.
Free version is largely unusable; premium pricing and pushy subscription model.
Limited features in free version (only current day, few arrays, lacks model selection, currency settings).
Date/time inaccuracies and occasional location/mapping issues.

Recent reviews

Complete and utter rubbish. In Australia it is showing a single blip at 1pm and zero at all other times. About to delete and find something with some degree of accuracy.
