Hey Product Hunt 👋
Our rooftop solar came with the SmartClient app. Every day I opened it for one number: how many units did the roof make today? It took 6 taps to find it.
So I built Helio. It opens straight on today's units, read from the inverter's own counter, with live power, history and savings in your own currency around it.

Who hunted Helio?
Helio was hunted by Rishi Shah. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
