Complete shutdown
If system operation, production or the data connection stops, SM Sentinel flags the condition that needs attention.
THE BIGGEST RISK IS THE ONE YOU CANNOT SEE YET
A solar system does not always tell you when it has stopped or is already producing less. SM Sentinel watches it.
A stopped string, faulty connector or abnormal inverter can reduce production while the rest of the system keeps running. SM Sentinel regularly checks the available operational data, preserves the history and sends a notification about deviations that require attention.¹

LOSS DOES NOT START WITH THE BILL
The cost begins when production starts to fall.
The system may appear operational while the deviation grows day after day in the background.
- 01Complete or partial shutdown
Production, a string, an inverter or the data connection may stop.
- 02Hidden production loss
The system continues running but no longer delivers its potential output.
- 03Lost energy
Energy not produced today cannot be recovered later.
- 04Financial impact
Missing energy must be purchased from the grid.
WHAT DOES SM SENTINEL MONITOR?
From complete shutdown to gradual performance decline.
Even a complete shutdown is not always obvious. A partial shutdown is harder to see: the system may keep producing and appear to be operating normally.
Available fault signals
It follows fault codes and operating states available from the inverter and sends a clear notification about confirmed issues.
Partial production loss
Where sufficiently detailed data is available, SM Sentinel also monitors defined partial operational deviations.¹
Persistent performance change
Preserved operational history provides a baseline for investigating slow and persistent changes.
¹ Available data varies by manufacturer and access level. During connection, we show exactly what SM Sentinel can see from your system.

This is an indicative seasonal estimate. It allocates 42% of annual production to summer, 8% to winter and 50% to spring–autumn. Actual production depends on weather, orientation, shading, the consumption profile and individual settlement terms.
SM SENTINEL IS THE MEMORY OF YOUR SYSTEM
The production curve is only the end of the story.
SM Sentinel stores not only how much the system produced, but also the available AC, DC, string, temperature, status, fault and communication data at the frequency defined by the selected plan.¹
“Manufacturer monitoring shows how much the system produced. SM Sentinel remembers how it operated.”
The relationship between these values can provide useful clues when investigating a deviation and its possible cause.¹

MONITORING IS NOT THE SAME AS SUPERVISION
The manufacturer portal shows available data. SM Sentinel checks it regularly.
It keeps watch at the frequency defined by your plan, even when you do not open the manufacturer application.
TYPICAL MANUFACTURER MONITORINGSM SENTINEL
Even a complete shutdown may only be noticed during a later check
Monitors when operation, production or the data connection stops
A manufacturer fault signal still has to be noticed and interpreted
Follows available fault signals and sends clear notifications about confirmed issues
A partial shutdown can remain hidden while the system still produces
Uses available telemetry to monitor defined partial operational deviations
Slow changes can blend into normal seasonal variation
Preserved history provides a baseline for investigating persistent changes
Solar-system owners should not be expected to interpret charts, fault codes and inverter data every day.
SUPPORTED INVERTERS AND MANUFACTURER PORTALS
REAL EXPERIENCE, NOT THEORY
Built from faults that were invisible from the outside.
SM Sentinel grew from years of installing, operating and troubleshooting solar systems in real conditions.
A burnt connector and one silent string
The rest of the system kept producing, so the missing output was not visible from the outside.
Read the storySM Sentinel was not invented at a desk.
It is based on long-term technical experience with solar systems, inverters and real-world faults.
Learn about our backgroundTHE VALUE OF PEACE OF MIND
SM Sentinel keeps watch so you do not have to.
You receive feedback even while everything is operating normally: event history with Őrszem, a monthly summary with Plusz and a detailed monthly report with Prémium.
You do not have to interpret manufacturer charts, fault codes and technical data on your own.

Who bears the cost of late detection?
A running inverter does not necessarily mean the system is producing as it should.

Four steps. You only need to read the notification.
SM Sentinel checks incoming operational data at the frequency defined by your plan. When a monitored value departs from a configured condition, it sends a clear notification about the detected state.
- 1We monitor
Available operational data is received and preserved.
- 2We notice
Operation outside the configured conditions is highlighted.
- 3We notify
You receive a clear notification about the detected state.
- 4You decide
Expert diagnosis or repair can be requested as a separate service.

Checked before payment
We first verify that the system can be connected. Payment is due only after a successful connection.
Operational history is preserved
Preserved data provides a long-term comparison baseline for investigating the system.
You decide the next step
SM Sentinel monitors and notifies. Expert diagnosis and repair can be requested as separate services.
You do not have to interpret it
Instead of charts and fault codes, you receive a clear notification about the detected condition.
YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE TO NOTICE IT YOURSELF
Let SM Sentinel watch your system every day.
Choose an SM Sentinel plan, have compatibility checked and keep the operation of your solar system visible over time.
Compatibility is checked before payment. A payment obligation arises only after a successful connection.
