Leaderboard & share links
The Leaderboard lets you compare aggregated solar stats with other Check My Solar users. Share links at share.checkmy.solar give you a public page anyone can open without signing in.
Both features are opt-in. Nothing is published until you join from the leaderboard page.
Opening the leaderboard
Section titled “Opening the leaderboard”- Sign in to checkmy.solar with a linked Fox ESS inverter.
- Open Leaderboard from the sidebar (trophy icon) or the Today tab promo card.
You can browse rankings without joining. On your first visit, a join prompt appears over a blurred preview. Choose Join now to set up a profile, or Browse without joining to dismiss it.
What you can see
Section titled “What you can see”The leaderboard shows public rankings from opted-in users. You can:
- Switch between month and year views and move between periods
- Filter by country or view all countries
- Sort by metrics grouped into Production, Grid & load, and Battery
- See a community summary with member count and collective generation, import, and export totals
When you have joined, your personal card appears at the top with your username, generation total, global rank, and country rank.
Sortable metrics
Section titled “Sortable metrics”| Group | Metrics |
|---|---|
| Production | Total generated (kWh), generation per kWp |
| Grid & load | House load, imported, exported, net grid |
| Battery | Charged, discharged, state of health, round-trip efficiency, cycles |
Rankings are based on solar generated kWh for the selected period.
Joining the leaderboard
Section titled “Joining the leaderboard”Open Leaderboard Settings from the leaderboard page (Settings button or join prompt) and complete your profile:
- Username — 3–24 characters; letters, numbers, spaces,
_, or-. Usernames are unique (case-insensitive). - Country — used for country rankings and filtering.
- Panel size (kWp) — used for generation-per-kWp rankings. Check My Solar suggests a value from your system data; you can adjust it.
- Inverter — stats are tied to the inverter selected on your dashboard when you join. To switch sites, leave the leaderboard and rejoin with the other inverter selected.
Tap Join leaderboard to publish your profile. You can edit your username, country, or panel size later from the same settings screen.
Stats refresh timing
Section titled “Stats refresh timing”Leaderboard totals are aggregated from Fox Cloud data and refreshed automatically every few hours. After joining, your stats may take until the next refresh to appear. The app shows a message if your profile is set up but metrics are not yet available.
Share links
Section titled “Share links”Once you have joined, you get a personal link on share.checkmy.solar — an opaque URL that does not contain your username.
Getting your link
Section titled “Getting your link”- Open the Share your stats card on the leaderboard page, or
- Open Leaderboard Settings and copy the link from your profile.
You can copy the link or open it to preview how it looks to visitors.
What visitors see
Section titled “What visitors see”Anyone with the link can view your public profile without a Check My Solar account. The share page shows:
- Username and country
- Global and country rank for the selected period
- Month or year totals for production, grid & load, and battery (same aggregated stats as your leaderboard profile)
- Period navigation — visitors can switch between month and year views
Example: share.checkmy.solar/v0vc5af8bbbj
Share links work well in group chats, social posts, or anywhere you want to show how your system is performing over a month or year.
What is shared — and what is not
Section titled “What is shared — and what is not”When you join, only aggregated month and year totals are public. No raw interval data, live power readings, or identifying account details are shown.
Shared when you join
Section titled “Shared when you join”| Category | Data |
|---|---|
| Profile | Username, country |
| Production | Generated (kWh), gen / kWp |
| Grid & load | House load, imported, exported, net grid |
| Battery | Charged, discharged, battery SOH, round-trip, cycles |
| Rankings | Global and country rank for the selected period |
Never shared
Section titled “Never shared”- Email, real name, or other account details
- Home address or location
- Inverter serial number or site name
- Live realtime power readings
Your share link uses a random slug — not your username — so the URL itself does not reveal who you are.
For broader privacy information, see Privacy & data.
Leaving the leaderboard
Section titled “Leaving the leaderboard”Open Leaderboard Settings and tap Leave leaderboard. Opting out:
- Removes your public profile from rankings
- Makes your share link stop working (visitors see a not-found page)
- Does not delete your Check My Solar account or inverter data
You can rejoin at any time from the leaderboard page. Your previous share slug may be reused if you rejoin with the same account.
