About

See your home solar and battery at a glance — right on your Garmin watch. SolarWatch shows your battery state of charge, solar generation, house load, and grid + battery power (with direction) on a colour glance and dashboard, plus a 12-hour history chart of any metric. Data refreshes automatically in the background, with a clear "data age" so you always know how fresh a reading is. NO BACKEND, NO ACCOUNT WITH US SolarWatch talks to your inverter brand's own cloud directly through the Garmin Connect Mobile app on your phone. There is no SolarWatch server. You enter your brand credentials once in the app settings; they are stored on your watch and are only ever sent to your inverter brand's API — never to the developer, never logged, never shown on screen. SUPPORTED INVERTERS • FoxESS — FULL SUPPORT, including force charge / force discharge to a target battery % right from the wrist (opt-in; off by default). Every command is confirmed before sending, verified against the inverter, and self-reverts. Live-verified on real hardware. • AlphaESS — read-only (BETA): live monitoring only. • Sungrow (iSolarCloud) — read-only (BETA): live monitoring only. • Sigenergy (mySigen) — read-only (BETA): live monitoring only. The three beta brands are community-derived and not yet confirmed against a live account of each brand — please report anything that looks off. WHAT YOU'LL SEE • Battery state of charge, colour-coded by level • Solar generation • House load (derived from the energy balance — no extra call) • Grid power: importing / exporting, with direction • Battery power: charging / discharging, with direction • 12-hour history charts (SoC, solar, grid, battery, load) • FoxESS: a force charge/discharge control page with a live "boost" badge WHAT YOU NEED • A supported Garmin watch and the Garmin Connect Mobile app. • Your inverter brand's API credentials GOOD TO KNOW Because data hops through your phone, expect a few seconds of latency and gaps when your phone is away — the dashboard always shows how old the data is. Runs on 60+ Garmin watches. Free, no ads. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or supported by FoxESS, AlphaESS, Sungrow, Sigenergy, or Garmin.
