Generac PWRview Customer Insights

1. My only wish list is for it to be able to change the inverter settings such as 'self supply' and 'priority backup' that you have to go to the inverter to change.

2. I had an tablet on the wall of the kitchen with the app always running, but it will not stay up longers than a few hours.This would be a 5 star app for me if I was able to change the inverter settings through the app.

3. It would save a lot of time to be able to use the app that monitors those things to change them also.This app has a bug and a "feature", that are both annoying.

4. The battery chart is confusing due to being a double axis.Updated: few minutes after reviewing that I couldn't enter tarrif information I was able to get it working.

5. App only displays status, doesn't change system settings.

6. The app does show the change, so I dont think the programing of this would be an issue.

7. The outage guard is a step in the right direction and shows that they can remotely change profiles.

8. Second issue that I see other complain about as well, is the inability to change the mode from the app.

9. Wish I could change battery strategies remotely.

10. At times I would want to change from self supply to clean back up, or even just have it as grid tie for a while.

11. If the app was able to communicate with the inverter in that way, this would be a pretty darn good app.The web dashboard is reasonable, but the mobile app has a long way to go.
