What is SOLECTRUS?
SOLECTRUS is a self-hosted dashboard for monitoring solar energy systems. It tracks production, consumption, battery usage, and grid exchange while calculating costs and savings automatically. The software supports multiple inverters, solar forecasts from pvnode, Solcast, and Forecast.Solar, and integrates with SENEC batteries, Shelly meters, Home Assistant, ioBroker, evcc, and MQTT. It runs as Docker containers managed by the HELIOS companion app, which handles installation, configuration, updates, and backups through a browser interface. A Linux server with at least 1 GB RAM and 1 GB disk space is required (2 GB RAM and 5 GB recommended). Advanced features like Power-Splitter, dark mode, amortization calculations, and AI access via MCP are exclusive to sponsors (EUR 5/month).
