Solar Outlook: Solar Monitor

Know how much solar energy to expect over the coming days. Bring readings from compatible solar chargers, batteries, inverters and sensors together in one clear dashboard. Built for campervans, motorhomes, caravans and boats. Your system in one place • Follow solar power, battery voltage, charging state, daily harvest and inverter readings from compatible equipment. • See how power moves through your setup and compare recorded solar harvest with the forecast. • View battery charge and current when reported by a compatible BMS or shunt. • Explore saved readings and history, with gaps and the age of readings shown. • Keep key readings on your Android home screen with the Solar Outlook widget. Victron solar chargers and inverters • Read supported SmartSolar and BlueSolar MPPT chargers, using built-in Bluetooth or a compatible VE.Direct Bluetooth dongle as required. • See live solar power, battery voltage, charging state and daily yield, and retrieve supported charger history. • View supported Phoenix VE.Direct inverter readings, including apparent load in VA, through built-in Bluetooth or a compatible dongle. • SmartSolar and Phoenix readers have been checked on physical equipment. Compatibility still depends on the exact model, firmware and connection. Additional Victron Instant Readout readers cover selected SmartShunt/BMV monitors, Smart Battery Sense, Orion Smart/XS DC-DC chargers, Smart Lithium batteries, Blue Smart chargers, Smart BatteryProtect, Lynx Smart BMS, Multi RS and VE.Bus equipment through a VE.Bus Smart dongle. These routes include Beta and Alpha readers. Broadcasts need a supported device with Instant Readout enabled and its key from VictronConnect; they provide live readings, not stored history. Experimental device readers • Batteries/BMS: selected JBD/Xiaoxiang, Fogstar Drift with JBD, LiTime, Redodo, Power Queen, JK, Daly and Renogy models. • Solar controllers: selected Renogy models with a compatible Bluetooth module. • Sensors: RuuviTag, compatible Shelly BLU/unencrypted BTHome sensors and selected Mopeka tank sensors. These readers are labelled Alpha. Not every model is supported or hardware-verified. Check https://solaroutlook.co.uk/devices/ for model and connection details. Solar forecasts for your setup • See expected daily energy in kWh and power through the day in watts. • Set panel wattage, tilt and direction; compare weather-based generation with a clear-day reference. • Check sunrise, sunset, terrain daylight and seasonal solar potential. • Use GPS, place search or a shared map pin to explore a prospective stop. No equipment is needed for forecasts. In development: optional automation We are developing rules for compatible equipment: switch an inverter off for low battery voltage or overload, start a load when the charger reaches float or reported battery charge exceeds a chosen level, and use surplus solar for tasks such as water heating. These are development goals, not features in the current store release. They require compatible control and switching hardware; availability will depend on the tested setup. Free and Plus Today and tomorrow's forecasts, equipment readings, saved history and the solar calendar are free. Plus unlocks forecasts further ahead, up to 14 days where weather data is available. Monthly or yearly subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled. Google Play shows your price and currency before purchase; manage or cancel there. Fresh weather needs internet. Bluetooth readings require range and suitable permissions; background updates depend on Android scheduling. Forecasts are estimates and local shade can change output. Solar Outlook does not replace equipment safety controls or VictronConnect for configuration and firmware updates. Independent of, and not endorsed by, Victron Energy.
