📖 NEW CLIENT SETUP GUIDE
Follow these steps to add a new client's Solar Assistant system to the fleet. You'll need access to their Solar Assistant web interface to get the connection details.
1 GET THE CLOUD PROXY URL
Open the client's Solar Assistant web interface and navigate to: Settings → Remote Access → Cloud Proxy
The part before .us.solar-assistant.io is the Site ID — in this example: sunfusionenergysystems.
This is used for remote SSH access and remote monitoring.
2 GET THE LOCAL IP ADDRESS
In the same Solar Assistant interface, find: Settings → Network or look for "Local network"
You'll see something like:
Local Networkhttp://192.168.0.165
⚡ Copy only the numbers — just the IP address:
Solar Assistant IP (paste this into monitor)192.168.0.165
This IP goes into the Solar Assistant IP Address field on the monitor splash screen, and into the IP Address field when adding the system to Fleet Manager.
3 SSH INTO SOLAR ASSISTANT
To configure MQTT WebSocket (required for the monitor), you need SSH access.
Solar Assistant shows the SSH command under: Settings → Remote Access → Configuration
Confirm port 9001 is listeningsudo ss -tlnp | grep 9001
✅ If you see LISTEN 0.0.0.0:9001 in the output — you're good!
5 ADD SYSTEM TO FLEET MANAGER
Click + ADD SYSTEM in the Fleet Manager and fill in:
System Name:Customer's name or address IP Address:192.168.0.165(from Step 2) Port:9001 Zip Code:Customer's zip (for weather + map) Group:Region or installer name (optional) Customer / Phone:For your records
After saving, the system gets a 6-digit access code automatically. Give this code to the customer so they can look up their system at customer.html.
6 TEST THE CONNECTION
Click the new system in Fleet Manager (or open the monitor directly). You should see:
✅ Status pill turns ● LIVE
✅ Power flow diagram shows real-time data
✅ Solar, battery, grid, and load values update
If the monitor says "Connecting…" for more than 15 seconds, the app will automatically try port 1883 as a fallback. Check the MQTT Setup Guide PDF for troubleshooting.
