Is your solar actually any good?
Your app shows you your own numbers. It can’t tell you whether they’re good. Share your plant with us read-only and we’ll show you where you sit against other South African systems — free.
We are not asking for your login

What you get back
Your benchmark
Where your site sits against every other system on the platform — solar self-consumption, grid reliance, battery round-trip. Yours is named. Everyone else’s is anonymous, including yours to them.
A straight answer
If your system is underperforming for its size and location, the comparison shows it. Independent engineers, no panels to sell you.
A better picture for everyone
Every plant added makes the South African dataset sharper — which is what makes the next person’s benchmark worth reading.
The obvious questions
Do you need my password?
On Sunsynk, Victron and SolarEdge, no — and that’s the whole point of doing it this way. You add our account from inside your own portal, the same way you’d add your spouse or your installer. Your password never leaves you.
LuxPower is the exception, because LuxCloud has no visitor role to add anyone to. There the only route is a login, we say so plainly on its tab, and it’s a fine thing to decline.
Can you change my settings? Charge my battery? Turn something off?
No. Visitor on Sunsynk, Monitoring-only on VRM and a view role on SolarEdge are read-only roles — the portal rejects a write from us, so this isn’t something you have to take our word for.
What exactly do you look at?
Production, consumption, grid import and export, and battery state over time. Not your address, not your bank, not your name in anyone else’s report.
Who else sees my data?
In the benchmark, other people see your numbers under a pseudonym, with no site name and no link back to you. You see your own site named, and everyone else’s anonymised. Details are in our Privacy Policy.
How do I get rid of you?
Remove the visitor from the same screen you added it on. It takes about five seconds and needs nothing from us. Ask us to delete what we’ve stored and we’ll do that too.
What’s the catch? Who’s paying for this?
No catch. EnergyMapper is built by independent engineers — Invint and Holistic Energy — to do our own analysis work properly. A benchmark is worthless with ten sites in it and genuinely useful with a thousand, so we’d rather give the report away and have the data. We don’t sell panels, inverters or your contact details.
