Monitoring is mostly a question of what hardware & software the particular inverter or micro-inverter company (like, the actual manufacturers) offer as an ensemble for a system. A good install company will (and should) assist with monitoring (Sungrade does). Every house is a unique fingerprint, and your energy consumption history (including considerations about "future proofing") is its own animal. So that "suite" of options and choices is key. What's designed for your home in terms of target goals for energy *production* (to meet your needs) is critical. Whether or not folks choose us, we hope to educate homeowners so they know the options. Not all monitoring is the same, but for the sake of trivia, most people select their system based not on the minutia of monitoring (they're all fairly similar for the most part) but on the robust-ness of the overal system as a whole. Hope this helps, but we're happy to chat more anytime!
do you use subcontractors for the installation
Yes. The Solar Edge is app. I believe it comes with the Solar Edge inverter that Sun Grade installs. It works well, but sometimes data is a few hours delayed (at noon I see data through 10am, for example). I also like to check the PG&E web-page that shows hourly if I'm generating or consuming.
Yes, they use an App called solar edge. It provides the basic information on the panel production through the day, week, month.
