Licensing¶
PowerDeck is licensed per site. You buy a licence once, receive an activation code, and enter it during installation.
Licence tiers¶
| Licence | Who it's for | Key limits |
|---|---|---|
| Lite | Budget-conscious homes | Up to 3 inverters, 10 smart devices |
| Classic | Single-inverter homes | 1 inverter, unlimited smart devices |
| Professional | Larger or multi-inverter homes | Up to 5 inverters, expansion options |
| Appliance | Installer pre-installed hardware | Bundled with the appliance |
| Installer Hub | Solar installation businesses | Fleet dashboard + wholesale activation tokens |
How activation works¶
- Purchase a licence on powerdeck.solutions (or receive a code from your installer).
- Run the installer and enter your activation code.
- PowerDeck verifies the licence with our licensing service and unlocks your tier. Verification happens automatically — roughly once a day.
Offline behaviour¶
Licence checks are designed not to get in your way. If your system can't reach the internet, PowerDeck keeps working — there's a built-in grace period before any feature restrictions apply. Your dashboard, automations, and local control are unaffected.
Installers¶
The Installer Hub lets you manage licences for all your client sites, purchase activation tokens at wholesale rates, and monitor your fleet from one dashboard. Contact us via the community to set up an installer account.
