Visit SOLECTRUS

SOLECTRUS is an open-source, self-hosted dashboard for photovoltaic installations that brings production, consumption, costs and savings together in one place. It runs as a Docker container on your own hardware — local server, cloud VPS, NAS or Raspberry Pi — keeping data under your control, and is built on Ruby on Rails and InfluxDB with source code published on GitHub.

Features include a live power balance, multiple generators (up to five), self-defined consumers (up to 20) with a Power-Splitter, forecasts via pvnode, Solcast or Forecast.Solar up to seven days ahead, self-sufficiency and self-consumption rates, economics and cost calculations, payback analysis, heat pump efficiency, long-term storage with daily aggregation, trends, top-10 rankings, tile views and a dark mode. Some features are marked as exclusive to sponsors. Integrations cover SENEC, Shelly, MQTT, Home Assistant, ioBroker and evcc, and the interface can optionally connect to Claude, ChatGPT or a local AI tool for read-only questions about your measurements. It runs in the browser on desktop, tablet and smartphone.
