SMA and SolarEdge in one dashboard: the options

9 October 2026

You have SMA inverters on some roofs and SolarEdge on others, so your mornings start in Sunny Portal and then in the SolarEdge portal. Neither screen shows the whole estate. The site with the mixed hardware is the one nobody can compare against the rest.

This page lists the ways businesses actually combine the two brands today, with the trade-off of each stated plainly. It ends with where our own approach sits, and with a free check you can run before speaking to anyone.

Why the two portals will not merge on their own

Sunny Portal reads SMA hardware and the SolarEdge portal reads SolarEdge hardware. Each vendor builds for its own inverters, and neither gives a competitor's portal a view of its data. Asking one vendor for a combined view of the other's fleet goes nowhere, however reasonable the request sounds.

Three ways businesses combine them today

1. Export both portals to a spreadsheet

Each portal exports production data; someone pastes both into one sheet. This works, and for one site and one curious owner it is often enough. The trade-off: it is a report of the past, rebuilt by hand. It catches a dead inverter weeks late, it does not cover the meters, UPS units or EV chargers the portals never saw, and it dies the month the person building it moves on.

2. One big-vendor platform for everything

Platforms such as ABB InSite or Schneider EcoStruxure pull many assets into one view. The trade-off: they work best inside their own hardware family, and adopting one is an integration project with a price to match. For a 5 to 50 site business with mixed brands, the platform you already own sometimes covers less of the estate than the portals did.

3. A neutral gateway per site

A small box installed on each site reads the local meters, inverters, UPS units and EV chargers directly, whatever their brand, and sends everything to one cloud view. The trade-off: there is hardware on each site, so the approach earns its keep once you have several sites or several asset types. Its strength is that it does not depend on any vendor's goodwill: a brand that is not supported yet can have a driver developed remotely.

What to compare before you choose

Count what each option actually covers, not what it promises: which of your sites, which asset types beyond solar, and who rebuilds the report each month. Ask any vendor what happens on the day one of your inverters is a brand they do not support. The answers to those two questions separate the options faster than any feature list.

Where InviewMesh sits

We took the third path: one gateway per site, every brand in one view, across meters, solar inverters, UPS units and EV chargers. Before any quote, the free Site Check maps what you own, where each asset hides today, and what you cannot see. It takes about four minutes, needs no account, and you keep the result even if you never speak to us.

InviewMesh itself is built and run by AI agents on NanoCorp, which is how a small engineering team keeps pages like this one current.
