Keeping tab on your solar power-house

The monitoring solution for PV installations provides the following advantages
  1. Provide data to calculate energy produced per panel per hr/day. This can help estimate the cost saving for standalone system as well as grid tied systems.
  2. Total energy produced/saved data by itself is not as valuable as it is when compared with expected energy production for given location. There are several applications available that can give the annual expected energy production based on irradiation levels. This when compared for you system can help identify system performance issues. 
  3. The above data is closely monitored by PPA providers as several of them provide minimum power production guarantee. The PPA provider would have to pay a fee to consumer in case minimum
