In their own words
LuminaSims
LuminaSims combines solar project management, warehouse inventory, and field operations in one platform. It is presented for EPC firms, solar installation contractors, warehouse managers, and field supervisors. Teams can plan jobs, assign crews, and follow progress from site preparation through commissioning. Warehouse records track stock by location and connect issued materials and serial numbers to installations. The native installer app supports offline checklists, serial scans, and photo capture, then synchronizes when connectivity returns. Installation verification includes barcode scans, timestamped photos, and automatic GPS capture. A web portal provides dashboards with live operational figures and report exports. Administrators can manage several solar companies as separate tenants in one workspace, with role-based access, audit trails, and data isolation between contractor tenants. Modules cover company, consumer, project, user, warehouse, material, verification, geo-tagged photos, document generation, and analytics. LuminaSims lists a web portal and native mobile app, but does not identify the mobile operating system. Pricing and trial terms require a demo or sales contact.
SolarEdge Go
SolarEdge Go is a free mobile app for installers managing photovoltaic sites and fleets and providing remote services. It brings together work from SetApp, Mapper and Monitoring, although full Mapper integration is described as future support. Installers can sync with SolarEdge Cloud, import designs, view site details and alerts, manage users, and create or edit sites. Site tools also include applying SolarEdge Designer plans, registering or replacing devices, and managing access permissions. The app supports on-site device configuration and registration, plus map-based fleet views, site details and responses to critical issues. Remote access supports inverter and system diagnostics and configuration, but is beta, requires administrator permissions, and is limited to supported SetApp-enabled leader inverters with CPU version 4.13 or higher. Sessions last up to 15 minutes. Full functionality requires internet access and a SolarEdge Cloud connection; without internet, use is limited to local commissioning through a direct inverter connection. Android 11 or higher and iOS 14 or higher are required. The app is for installers, not homeowners, and requires SolarEdge account credentials.
