The Account (and Notifications) screens let you manage your profile, linked inverters, and preferences. Open the menu (top right) → Account to get started.

What you can do in Account

Section titled “What you can do in Account”

  • Email — View or change the email address for your Check My Solar account (used for magic-link login and email reports).

  • Solar forecast — Open the Forecast setup (Forecast.Solar or Solcast) for the selected device.
  • Work mode — View or configure work-mode-related options for the inverter (if available).
  • Notifications — Shortcut to Notifications for push and email reports and alerts.
  • Device management — See and manage devices (inverters) and, where applicable, notification or API limits.
  • Advanced — May include options such as meter 2, API usage, or other device-specific settings.
  • Privacy & data — Link to privacy policy and data handling.

Switching devices (inverters)

Section titled “Switching devices (inverters)”

If you have multiple inverters (or Fox Cloud accounts) linked:

  • In the menu, the current device is shown at the top (e.g. device list or dropdown).
  • Select another device to switch the dashboard and all device-specific settings (rates, forecast, notifications) to that inverter.
  • Device-specific settings are stored per device; changing device loads that device’s settings.

Energy rates

Section titled “Energy rates”
  • Energy Rates in Account opens the rate configuration for the current device.
  • You can set import (grid → house) and export (house → grid) rates, and optionally peak/off-peak periods and rates.
  • These rates are used for financial insights on the dashboard (cost, credit, savings). Configure once per device; the app remembers your values.

Forecast and notifications

Section titled “Forecast and notifications”
  • Forecast setup is per device: add or edit Forecast.Solar roofs or Solcast API key for the selected inverter.
  • Notifications (daily/weekly/monthly reports, tomorrow’s forecast, operation mode, battery alerts) are also per device. Open Notifications from the menu to set times and enable/disable each type.

Timezone

Section titled “Timezone”
  • Setting your timezone in Account ensures:
    • Report delivery times (e.g. “8 PM”) are in your local time.
    • Dates and “today” vs “tomorrow” are correct for forecasts and reports.
