PVFolio: Solar Handover
Not claimedPVFolio is the handover app for photovoltaic systems
By Michael Grossegger · ProductivityWhy we expect it: A well-focused handover tool that clearly solves a real, time-consuming pain point for PV installers.
About
PVFolio is the handover app for photovoltaic systems. For electrical contractors and PV installers who, after installation, have to compile everything for the grid operator and the customer – nameplates, serial numbers, photos, settings and signatures.
THE PROBLEM Serial numbers sit in the manufacturer app, photos in the camera roll, settings on a note – and in the end everything has to be retyped and assembled into a PDF. PVFolio records the whole system in one pass, right on site.
HOW IT WORKS 1. Create a system: choose a template (new PV system, battery retrofit, inverter replacement, extension), enter customer and site. 2. Record: meter & metering point, PV arrays, inverters and batteries – as many as needed, with manufacturer, type, serial number, power, firmware, country setting, reactive power method, P(U), FRT and LFSM-O. Module and inverter power are totalled automatically – for extensions also split into new and existing. 3. Scan, then confirm: read serial numbers and the metering point with the camera or get suggestions from the nameplate photo. You always see the value and confirm it yourself. 4. Take photos: numbered photo spots with date and time – meter cabinet, all modules, nameplate, mounting location, settings, overview plan. Flashlight for dark basements. 5. Create the outputs.
THREE OUTPUTS • Evidence PDF for the grid operator – one PDF per system, named after customer and site, with photos, nameplates, serial numbers and settings. • Portal entry sheet – all details in the order of the installation document; copy each value with one tap and paste it into the portal. • Handover PDF for your customer – system overview, devices, instructions, signatures; data sheets and declarations of conformity are appended. Plus a ZIP package with all PDFs, original photos, documents, CSV and JSON.
ADAPTS TO YOUR WORK Add your own fields and photo spots to any system – e.g. wallbox, heat pump or surge protection. With Pro, create your own templates for typical jobs and share them as a file.
OFFLINE AND PRIVATE • We collect no data. No account, no login. • All data stays on your iPhone – also without reception on the roof or in the basement. • No ads, no tracking. • Backup as a ZIP file; the data is also part of your normal iPhone backup. • PVFolio does not connect to inverters, meters or portals and does not send anything.
FREE AND PRO 1 system is free – with all features and all PDFs to try everything. PVFolio Pro (monthly or yearly; 14 days free on the yearly plan for eligible new subscribers) unlocks: • unlimited systems • create, import and share your own templates • your company logo on all PDFs • batch export of several systems with an overview CSV Your systems always stay readable and exportable – even if you cancel.

PVFolio is a documentation tool. It prepares documents but replaces neither the submission in the grid operator's portal nor a professional inspection, and it does not assess the installation. The built-in templates are a capture aid, not an official form of any grid operator.
