General
Thanks to the PIKO Solar App, the monitoring of your PV system is easily and very comfortably possible via your smartphone or tablet – naturally free of charge. In the graphical representation of the live data (“Live view”) you can check the important details from your PV system. For example, you can monitor the DC yield and see how much electric current you are feeding into the public grid. If you have a PIKO of the new generation combined with the PIKO BA Sensor, you will also be able to see how much energy is used in your building by your household devices and furthermore how this energy demand is covered by the different sources (e.g. public grid or PV system). With the PIKO BA System you can also check how much of the produced energy is stored in the battery or is taken from there to be used in the household. Besides this live data, which is updated via WLAN, you can also graphically display historic yields (day, week, month, year and aggregated data). This historic data derives from the PIKO Solar Portal when your PV system is registered there. If you don’t like to connect to the PIKO Solar Portal the historical data can be obtained by the direct connection from PIKO inverter and PIKO Solar App. The PIKO Solar App is available for the Android and the iOS operating system.
Program features
Settings
Due to the connection between PIKO inverter and PIKO Solar Portal the configuration of the PIKO Solar App can be done automatically. To use the automatic mode you have to fill in your email address and corresponding password in the menu setting “PIKO Solar Portal”. After that you get an overview of all PV systems which are assigned to your account and you can select the specific PV plant which should be visualized in the PIKO Solar App. Then all information regarding the PV plant and the PIKO inverter will be transferred into the app. These information contain all necessary data to visualize the live data in your home network.
If you don’t want to use the automatic mode of the PIKO Solar App or if your PIKO inverter is not registered in the PIKO Solar Portal you can set up the app manually.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew
2 ★App could be improved. To make it work, first navigate with your browser to the ip of your inverter (1). Generate a paasword (2). Go to the app and add your inverter's ip address (3), change the username to user (4) and add the password (5). Now you should get live data immediately. History does not work however. No graphs, nothing.
4 ★No live data, no matter if username is "user" or "pvserver". Otherwise this app would be perfect if you would mix it up with the other Kostal solar app to provide an interface for local and for web use. So, one app with all the data available would be great.
4 ★Live data isn't connecting, everything else is working for a Plenticore Plus inverter Also the translation for Period and Measure in the History section isn't correct for English (it's in German)
3 ★Solved: username must be "user" and not "pvserver". Old review: With my Plenticore Plus 10 inverter the live view in the app shows zero for all values. It worked fairly well with my old PIKO BA 10.
2 ★I have tried everything but cannot download live data or get connected to the inverter without wifi. Please advise on the issue. Thanks
4 ★Good application and easy to use.
5 ★Good app
5 ★Now it works perfectly!
1 ★Will not install on Asus Transformer
3 ★Nice
5 ★I love this app too much... Hererer
