Solar energy systems rarely experience sudden failures. Instead, performance gradually declines as maintenance tasks, production data, and asset information become scattered across disconnected systems. The ELWIS-built Solar Management Application connects them — every installation, task and kilowatt in one operational view.
The problem
Installation teams, maintenance technicians and system owners all need accurate, current information about system status, tasks and energy production. Yet many solar operations still rely on disconnected tools and manual processes — and as the number of installations grows, teams spend more time collecting information than improving performance.
01
Managing multiple solar sites?
02
Missing a complete operational view?
03
Maintenance becoming difficult?
04
Struggling to maximize efficiency?
Most importantly, the application needed to be flexible enough to support different solar environments — and adapt as requirements evolved.
Centralized operations
Centralize installation and maintenance activities.
Real-time visibility
Energy production and consumption, live.
Simple task management
Task management, simplified for operational teams.
Automated maintenance
Automated scheduling and follow-up activities.
Efficiency analysis
Analyze efficiency, find improvement opportunities.
Detailed reports
Detailed reporting for better decision-making.
Key features
The capabilities that replaced scattered task lists, separate monitoring tools and manual scheduling.
TASKS
A centralized environment for every solar-related activity: create and assign installation tasks, track maintenance, monitor repair requests and follow progress across teams. Each task is connected to the relevant solar system — what needs to be done, who is responsible, and what stage it is in. A structured workflow instead of disconnected task lists and manual coordination.
MONITORING
Full visibility into solar energy production and consumption: monitor generation data, review current system performance, compare production trends, spot unusual changes and track the overall health of every installation. Real-time information means faster decisions — and earlier responses to potential performance issues.
MAINTENANCE
Preventive maintenance is essential for maximizing efficiency. Schedule regular maintenance activities, track upcoming service requirements, manage equipment checks, record completed actions and keep full historical records. A proactive approach that reduces downtime and keeps systems operating efficiently.
PERFORMANCE
Understand how effectively your solar systems operate: evaluate production efficiency, performance trends and the differences between expected and actual output. These insights reveal optimization opportunities — and help maximize the value of solar investments.
ANALYTICS
Structured reports covering energy production, system efficiency, maintenance activities, task completion and overall operational performance — supporting better planning, management decisions and long-term optimization strategies.
The solution
Every build starts the same way: map how the team actually works, then model it in ELWIS — custom development blended with a powerful no-code layer.
Page Builder
Compose screens and workflows visually — with role-based views for installation and maintenance teams.
Configurable Type System
Artifact types, link types and attributes model installations, tasks, maintenance activities, energy records and teams.
Client-owned governance
The client creates and edits artifacts, artifact types and attributes directly — without relying on developers.
Before / After
One platform instead of scattered tools — visibility, structure and less manual coordination.
