## Review summary

SunStrong Connect is criticized for turning a once-free solar-monitoring tool into a paid service, with many reviewers angry about a $100/year subscription to view production and usage history. While the app still offers real-time monitoring and analysis features, the paywall and data access restrictions overshadow functionality. Users report unreliable updates, graphical issues (solid black areas or lines obscuring data), and UI bugs, plus poor support and dissatisfaction with SunStrong's ownership change from SunPower. A minority note that historical graphs sometimes return and the tool remains useful when it works.

### Pros

- Real-time monitoring of solar production and energy use.
- In-app data analysis visuals with hourly/daily/monthly/yearly breakdown.
- Historical production/usage data visualization when accessible.

### Cons

- Annual subscription required to monitor the system (perceived as greedy/expensive).
- Loss of historically free features; past data now behind paywall.
- Graphical/UI regressions after updates (black areas/lines obscuring data; Analyze tab sometimes blank).
- Ownership change from SunPower to SunStrong with perceived poor support and communication.
- Data export limitations and lack of panel-level data timelines.
