# Fleet Management Monitor and manage all your installed solar systems from one comprehensive dashboard. Track performance, identify issues, and keep customers informed across your entire portfolio. ## What is Fleet Management? Fleet Management is Powerlily's system monitoring platform that lets you: - **Monitor All Systems** - View performance of every installation - **Real-time Data** - Live production metrics from inverter APIs - **Automated Alerts** - Get notified of underperforming systems - **Geographic Mapping** - See all installations on a map - **Maintenance Tracking** - Schedule and log maintenance events - **Performance Analytics** - Compare systems and identify trends ## Supported Inverters Powerlily integrates directly with: ### Enphase - Microinverter systems - Panel-level monitoring - Real-time production data - System health alerts - Enphase API integration - **[[Enphase Integration Setup|→ Set up Enphase integration]]** ### SolarEdge - String inverters with optimizers - Module-level monitoring - Production analytics - System diagnostics - SolarEdge API integration - **[[SolarEdge Integration Setup|→ Set up SolarEdge integration]]** ## Dashboard Overview The Fleet Management dashboard shows: ### System Count - Total active systems - Systems online vs. offline - New installations this month - Growth trends ### Current Output - Total power generation across all systems - Current kW output - Percentage change vs. average - Peak production times ### System Health - Number of systems with issues - Communication errors - Performance warnings - Systems needing maintenance ### Geographic View - Interactive map of all installations - Color-coded by performance - Click for system details - Filter by location or status ## System Monitoring ### Real-time Data For each system, monitor: - **Current Output** - Live power generation - **Daily Production** - Today's kWh generated - **Monthly Production** - Month-to-date totals - **Lifetime Production** - Total since installation - **System Status** - Online, offline, or issues ### Performance Metrics Track important KPIs: - **Production vs. Expected** - Compare actual to predicted - **Efficiency** - kWh/kW performance - **Uptime** - System availability percentage - **Trends** - Historical performance charts ### System Details View comprehensive system info: - **Customer Information** - Owner name and contact - **Installation Date** - When system went live - **System Size** - kW DC capacity - **Equipment** - Panels, inverters, etc. - **Location** - Address and coordinates - **Photos** - Installation images ## Automated Alerts Stay informed with intelligent notifications: ### Production Alerts - **Low Production** - System producing below expected - **No Production** - System not generating - **Underperforming** - Consistent low output ### Communication Alerts - **Offline System** - Lost connection to inverter - **API Errors** - Integration issues - **Data Gaps** - Missing production data ### Maintenance Alerts - **Scheduled Maintenance Due** - Upcoming service - **Overdue Maintenance** - Missed service window ### Custom Alerts - Set thresholds for each system - Email and in-app notifications - Team assignments for follow-up ## Geographic Mapping Interactive map features: ### View Options - **Satellite View** - Aerial imagery - **Map View** - Street map - **Hybrid View** - Combined ### Filtering - **By Performance** - Show only underperforming - **By Status** - Online, offline, issues - **By Location** - Geographic regions - **By Customer** - Specific clients ### System Markers - **Color Coded** - Green (good), yellow (warning), red (issue) - **Click for Details** - Quick system info popup - **Navigate to System** - Go to detailed view ## Maintenance Management Track all service activities: ### Maintenance Events - **Scheduled Maintenance** - Planned service visits - **Reactive Maintenance** - Issue responses - **Preventive Maintenance** - Regular check-ups - **Warranty Work** - Equipment replacements ### Event Details - **Date & Time** - When service occurred - **Type** - Scheduled, reactive, preventive - **Description** - What was done - **Photos** - Before/after images - **Parts Used** - Equipment replaced - **Technician** - Who performed work - **Cost** - Labor and parts expenses ### Scheduling - **Calendar View** - See all scheduled maintenance - **Automated Reminders** - Don't miss appointments - **Recurring Events** - Annual check-ups - **Filter & Search** - Find specific events ## Performance Analytics Understand your fleet: ### System Comparisons - Compare systems side-by-side - Identify best and worst performers - Analyze by location, size, or equipment - Export data for reporting ### Trend Analysis - Fleet-wide production trends - Seasonal variations - Equipment performance patterns - Degradation rates ### Financial Metrics - Total revenue from systems - Maintenance costs - ROI by system - Warranty claims ## Proactive Monitoring Use Fleet Management to: ### Prevent Issues - Identify problems before customers notice - Address communication errors quickly - Track system degradation - Plan preventive maintenance ### Improve Customer Service - Contact customers about issues proactively - Share positive production updates - Schedule maintenance conveniently - Build trust and loyalty ### Optimize Operations - Identify equipment problems - Route service calls efficiently - Track technician performance - Manage warranty claims ### Business Intelligence - Understand portfolio performance - Make data-driven equipment choices - Forecast maintenance needs - Track business growth ## Integration with Client Portal Fleet Management and Client Portal work together: - **System Data Sync** - Production data flows to client portal - **Shared Alerts** - Clients see same notifications - **Unified Communication** - Message clients about issues - **Document Sharing** - Maintenance reports to portal ## Getting Started ### Initial Setup 1. **Connect inverter accounts** - [[Enphase Integration Setup|Set up Enphase]] or [[SolarEdge Integration Setup|set up SolarEdge]] 2. Add systems to Powerlily 3. Link systems to customer accounts 4. Configure alert preferences 5. Set maintenance schedules ### Daily Operations 1. Review dashboard each morning 2. Address any alerts 3. Contact customers about issues 4. Log maintenance activities 5. Monitor overall performance ### Best Practices - Check dashboard daily - Respond to alerts within 24 hours - Schedule preventive maintenance - Keep system information updated - Document all service activities --- **Next:** Learn about creating [[Quotes/Selecting Imagery|quotes and proposals]] to win more solar deals.
