Your Solar Day,
Hour by Hour

Watch where every watt is going, keep every reading, and let Solar Atlas switch your inverter to the right mode the moment peak hours begin.

Three modes

One Inverter,
Three Ways to Run It

Solar Atlas applies these presets for you. Pick one yourself, or let the schedule choose between Peak and Off-Peak.

Default

Output
Solar (SUB)
Charger
Solar only

No grid charging. Solar powers the home first and the grid fills the gap. The battery only charges from solar.

Manual mode. Use it when you never want grid charging.

Peak Hour

Output
SBU
Charger
Solar and mains

The home runs on solar, then the battery, and only then the grid. Best while grid electricity is at its most expensive.

Applied automatically inside your peak window.

Off-Peak Hour

Output
Solar (SUB)
Charger
Solar and mains

Solar covers what it can and cheap off-peak grid covers the rest. The battery charges from both, building a reserve for the next peak.

Applied automatically outside your peak window.

What you get

See It, Keep It,
Schedule It

  • Live Energy Flow

    An animated diagram of solar, battery, grid and home. Active sources light up, so you can read the state of the house at a glance.

  • Four Stat Tiles

    Battery charge, voltage and current. Solar watts and status. Grid voltage, frequency and mains state. Home load in VA and percent.

  • History That Stays

    Every reading is sampled every 5 minutes and stored, and the history page charts it. Look back at any day, not just today.

  • Peak-Hour Scheduler

    Set your peak window once. The scheduler checks the clock every 30 seconds and applies Peak or Off-Peak at each boundary, with the dashboard closed.

  • Manual Override

    Apply a different mode any time. Your choice holds until the next boundary, then the schedule takes over again.

  • Installable App

    Add it to your phone's home screen. The app shell opens without a connection; live readings need one.

How it works

From Your Inverter Login
to an Automatic Day

  1. Connect Your Account

    Use the SmartESS or DessMonitor login you already have for the inverter. Solar Atlas reads its data through the vendor cloud.

  2. Watch the Flow

    Open the dashboard on any device. Readings refresh about every 30 seconds.

  3. Set Your Peak Window

    Enter the hours your tariff is most expensive. The default window is 17:00 to 23:00.

  4. Let It Switch

    Turn on the auto schedule. Solar Atlas applies the right mode at each boundary and shows which one is active.

Questions

Straight Answers
Before You Start

Which inverters does it work with?

Hybrid solar inverters that you manage in the SmartESS app or the DessMonitor cloud (Eybond platform). Inverters on other platforms are not supported yet.

Does it change my inverter's settings?

Only when you ask it to. It reads freely, and it changes the output and charger priority when you press Apply on a mode or when the auto schedule is on. Nothing else is written.

Where does my data live?

Readings are stored in a database inside the Solar Atlas deployment's own cloud account. The vendor login is kept as an encrypted secret there, and the dashboard sits behind its own username and password.

What happens if I lose internet?

The installed app still opens. Live readings and mode changes need a connection, because they go through the vendor cloud.

Can I set my own peak hours?

Yes. The window is editable in the dashboard and the scheduler uses the new hours from its next check.

Is Solar Atlas affiliated with SmartESS or DessMonitor?

No. It is an independent product from Infra8 and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by SmartESS, DessMonitor or Eybond.
