# Account & settings

**Fox ESS owners** use Check My Solar’s **Account** (and **Notifications**) screens to manage linked Fox Cloud accounts, energy import and export rates, solar forecasts, notification schedules, timezone, and multiple inverters from one place. Open the **menu** (top right) → **Account** to get started.

---

## What you can do in Account

- **Fox Cloud accounts** - See linked accounts (OAuth or API key), add another link, or disconnect one. Re-authenticating when a session expires is done from the main [Link Fox Cloud](/docs/getting-started/linking-your-inverter/) screen when the app sends you there.
- **Email** - View the email address for your Check My Solar account (used for magic-link login and email reports).
- **Timezone** - Set your timezone so report times and dates are correct. Used for notifications and any time-based settings.
- **Energy rates** - Open the [Energy rates](/docs/reference/energy-rates/) configuration (import/export, optional peak/off-peak) for the selected device.
- **Solar forecast** - Open the [Forecast](/docs/using-the-app/forecast/) setup for the selected device.
- **Work mode** - View or configure work-mode-related options for the inverter (if available).
- **Notifications** - Shortcut to [Notifications](/docs/using-the-app/notifications/) for push and email reports and alerts.
- **Device management** - See and manage devices (inverters) and, where applicable, notification or API limits.
- **Advanced** - May include options such as meter 2, API usage, or other device-specific settings. If enabled for your account, **Modbus Bridge** lets you set up a local Docker bridge for faster live data on H1 G2 inverters - see [Modbus Bridge](/docs/using-the-app/modbus-bridge/).
- **Privacy & data** - Link to [privacy policy](https://checkmy.solar/privacy-policy.html) and data handling.
- **Delete account** - Option to request account deletion (usually in a separate section with confirmation).

## Switching devices (inverters)

If you have **multiple inverters** (or Fox Cloud accounts) linked:

- In the **menu**, the current device is shown at the top (e.g. device list or dropdown).
- Select another device to switch the dashboard and all device-specific settings (rates, forecast, notifications) to that inverter.
- Device-specific settings are stored per device; changing device loads that device’s settings.

---

## Energy rates

- **Energy Rates** in Account opens the rate configuration for the **current device**.
- You can set **import** (grid → house) and **export** (house → grid) rates, and optionally **peak/off-peak** periods and rates.
- These rates are used for [financial insights](/docs/reference/energy-rates/) on the dashboard (cost, credit, savings). Configure once per device; the app remembers your values.

---

## Forecast and notifications

- **Forecast** setup is per device: add or edit roof details and forecast provider settings for the selected inverter.
- **Notifications** (daily/weekly/monthly reports, tomorrow’s forecast, operation mode, battery alerts) are also per device. Open **Notifications** from the menu to set times and enable/disable each type.

---

## Timezone

- Setting your **timezone** in Account ensures:
  - Report delivery times (e.g. “8 PM”) are in your local time.
  - Dates and “today” vs “tomorrow” are correct for forecasts and reports.
