Fortress – Avalon Homeowner 9+

Now that our new system is up and running, I unreservably recommend the Fortress hardware (inverter/smart energy panel). However, I find this app to be lacking. I’d expected it would display energy usage and production data in most any way I’d like to slice it. By day, month, whatever. The latest app update - while most welcome - is limited to displaying data on any given day - but not by other periods (weeks/months/electric bill billing period). The goal should be to view the data over any date range desired.

We’ve had Fortress equipment for our hybrid solar with battery backup system for about two months now and although the actual system works well, this app is terrible. Displays data in a strange and what they must think of as a “nuanced” way but in reality it is hard to understand and lately, doesn’t show real time data at all. It’s been down for about three weeks now with no update from the company or explanation; really a pretty poor showing. I would recommend the equipment but not this this app, it’s terrible!

This app is poorly designed and written and barely works half the time.
