1. Apply
Fill in the application form on this page — who you are, your company, and your GivEnergy experience. Access is application-only, not open signup.
Access · for installers
Free. But you apply, and you earn it.
Sentinel is free to approved installers — no tiers, no subscription, no card. Access is by application, and we prioritise installers who are consistently rated 5★. Two things to do: apply below, and sign in to join the pending queue.
How access works
Two steps to get in.
Apply on this page and sign in to join the pending queue — you need both. Then we review and approve, prioritising installers with a consistent 5★ track record.
2. Sign in to join the queue
Sign in once with your work email (secured by Cloudflare Access). That creates your account and puts you in the pending queue — do both: the form tells us about you, signing in is the account we approve.
3. Get approved & pair
We review each application and prioritise installers with a consistent 5★ track record. Once approved you're in — pair to a customer's system with a six-character code and read it live in your browser.
The bar
Given free, held to a standard.
Sentinel is given free to installers who are consistently rated 5★. It's a policy, not an automated feed — a person reviews your application, and access can be withdrawn if standards slip.
Common questions about access
Nothing. Sentinel is free to approved installers — no tiers, no subscription, no card. It's given free to installers who are consistently rated 5★.
Two steps, and you need both: (1) fill in the application form on this page, and (2) sign in once with your work email — that puts you in the pending queue. We review each application before enabling an account.
It's a policy and a design decision. Sentinel gives real remote access to customer systems, so we prioritise installers with a consistent 5★ track record and a reputation for careful work.
Yes. Access is a privilege, not a purchase — it can be withdrawn if standards slip. Because there's no fee, there's nothing to refund; approval simply reflects your standing as an installer.
You connect and read systems in your browser once you're approved. Your customers run the Sentinel desktop app (Mac and Windows today, beta) to show you a pairing code; iOS and Android are in review — apply for early access and we'll email you the moment they land.

Honesty matters · beta
Sentinel is in beta — we’re doing it live.
It won’t change anything behind the customer’s back. Sentinel is read-only by default. You can request a setting change, but it only ever applies after the customer taps “Allow” on their own device — and every write is logged. The customer stays in control.
Desktop today, mobile in review. The Mac & Windows apps are live for approved installers now (beta, ad-hoc signed — you’ll approve them on first launch). iOS & Android are in review; never a store badge until they’re really there.
Help requests + bug reports: hello@sentinelapp.solar. We read every message.
We built this for the engineers keeping GivEnergy systems alive — free to approved installers, access by application.
