Glance for PV
See your solar system at a glance. Glance for PV puts live PV generation and battery state of charge on your Home Screen and Lock Screen, so you always know what your panels are producing and how full your battery is - without opening an app.
Live PV power and battery SoC. Right on your Home Screen.
Unofficial companion app. Not affiliated with Ginlong, Solis, Sofar Solar, SolaX Power, Growatt, or GoodWe.
Two Ways to Connect
- SolisCloud (cloud): sign in with your SolisCloud API keys and read your system from anywhere
- Modbus TCP (local): talk to your inverter directly on your home network, no cloud account required
- Works with Solis, Sofar, SolaX, Growatt, and GoodWe inverters
Live Widgets, Front and Center
- Home Screen widgets in small, medium, and large sizes
- Lock Screen widgets (circular and rectangular) for instant battery and power readouts
- Apple Watch complications and widgets, right on your wrist
- Compatible with iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch
Everything You Need at a Glance
- Real-time PV power output in kW
- Battery state of charge with color-coded indicators
- Today and monthly PV generation
- kWh imported and exported
- Self-sufficiency %
- How long the battery will last (power outage or overnight)
- Last update timestamp, so you know the data is fresh
Live Auto-Refresh
A one-time in-app purchase unlocks live auto-refresh across every widget size. Without it, widgets still install and display your system, but data stays frozen - so you see exactly what you'll get before you decide.
Private and Direct
- Your credentials stay on-device
- Glance talks to SolisCloud directly from your iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple Watch - or speaks Modbus TCP straight to your inverter on your local network
- No middle server, no account signup, no tracking, no analytics, no ads
