What this usually meansNormal

Exporting a lot at midday

What it means

Around midday your panels often make more power than your home uses. The extra goes to the grid, and your utility credits it under net metering.

What to do

Nothing to fix. If you can, run the dishwasher, laundry or EV charging in the daytime to use more of your own solar.

General guidance only. Never climb on your roof or open electrical equipment. Some views, such as home use, need consumption monitoring on your system.

Do solar panels need monitoring?

What monitoring helps you catch

Your panels run quietly for decades. Monitoring is how you know they are still doing their job.

No-Cost Solar terms (Washington, DC)

Qualifying Washington, DC homeowners can have solar installed with no upfront solar installation cost through a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). Uprise arranges the system design, financing, permitting, and installation. For homeowners whose agreement specifies a $0 per kWh rate, there is also no charge for the electricity generated by the system.

The system is owned by Uprise or an approved third party. The system owner operates, maintains, and insures the system during the agreement term and retains the applicable tax benefits and Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs).

Homeowners remain responsible for any remaining utility charges. Savings and production figures are estimates, and the final system design may change following engineering and permitting.

Additional work, such as roofing, electrical panel upgrades, or EV chargers, is not included and would require a separate agreement. If required additional work is identified before installation and the homeowner declines to pay for it, they may cancel the Solar Host Agreement at no cost.

If the home is sold, the buyer must assume the agreement. The applicable rate, agreement length, and full terms are set out in the homeowner’s signed agreements.

FAQ

Solar monitoring questions, answered

Straight answers before you commit to anything.

Do solar panels need monitoring?

Panels need little maintenance, but monitoring is how you know they are producing what they should. It helps you spot shade, a low panel or a connection issue early, and understand your energy use.

What app will I use?

With Uprise solar, you get access to the Enphase App. It shows your system status, production trends, panel-by-panel data and your support options.

Can I see each individual panel?

Yes. The array view in the Enphase App shows the performance of each panel, so you can see if one is lower than the rest.

Can I see how much energy my home uses?

Yes, when your system includes consumption monitoring. Then the app shows what your home uses alongside what your panels produce. Ask us about it in your free solar plan.

Does Uprise watch my system too?

Uprise keeps an eye on your production too, and the app sends alerts about potential issues. If something looks off, call us and we will review your data.

My app says offline. What should I do?

Often the gateway lost its internet connection, for example after a new router or Wi-Fi password. Your panels may still be producing. If it stays offline for more than a day or two, contact us.

Will monitoring help me save money?

It helps you catch production drops early and understand your electricity use, so you can make informed decisions. Your savings come from your solar, and monitoring helps you keep them.

I have solar already. Can you help me with the app?

Yes, if Uprise installed your system, call us for help with your app or your data. If another company installed it, tell us what equipment you have and we will let you know how we can help.

Can someone walk me through the Enphase App?

Yes. Call us or reach out online, and our team will help you understand your status, energy and panel views and make the most of your monitoring.

How quickly will someone call me back?

During office hours, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Eastern, we typically call back within 2 to 5 minutes. Requests that come in after hours are returned the next morning.
