Solar Power System Monitoring

• Utilizing solar energy to power your residence
  can lead to decreased energy costs as well as is
  a tidy resource of energy for the setting. It is
  critical that owners of solar energy systems set
  up a trusted solar surveillance system to make
  certain peak performance and also to compute
  electrical energy cost savings and environmental
  advantages, in addition to continuously check the
  system for mistakes or troubles that, if captured
  early, could be dealt with and stop system
  failure or degradation.

Choice 1 - Inverter Panel

• These are the simplest energy monitoring tools
  which usually consist of an electronic readout on
  a simple front panel positioned outside near the
  photovoltaic array. These are designed to provide
  standard details such as system power generation
  (in watts), total daily energy manufacturing (in
  kilowatt hours), photovoltaic or PV input voltage
  and also photovoltaic input existing (volts and
  amps).

Choice 2 - Remote Panel

• Some producers of inverter panels provide remote
  panel surveillance, which enables much more
  thorough monitoring as well as permits you to
  keep an eye on system progression from any type
  of area inside. They could be either hardwired or
  cordless. Generally, these permit you to record
  power production for a month or even more offer
  a total power manufacturing quote compute your
  overall money conserved using solar power
  calculate CARBON DIOXIDE manufacturing offsets
  and also record power fluctuations or other
  system mistakes along with the fundamental
  functions of the easy inverter panel explained
  over.

Option 3 - Web Surveillance

• One truly advantageous upgrade to your system is
  the alternative to check capacity from an outer
  network device or with integrated communication
  capacity through either a lan or cordless
  connection. Generally there is an annual fee
  connected with these systems and also only
  particular inverters featured this option.
• In addition to the features offered by the
  standard and also remote panels, an internet
  surveillance system likewise enables you to check
  your system from throughout the world and also to
  gain access to enhancement data estimation as
  well as plotting tools.

Option 4 - Internet Monitoring of
Private Solar Panels

• When you are utilizing one inverter to check your
  entire selection, you are not able to determine
  the capability as well as efficiency of private
  solar panels. However, with micro-inverters this
  kind of pinpoint precision comes to be possible.
  In a micro-inverter system, each solar panel will
  have its very own mini-inverter which will
  certainly invert the DC from each panel and
  calculate date prior to sending the information
  over AC high-voltage line. This gets rid of
  additional information cable televisions as well
  as improves the system.

Option 6 BlueLog X-Series

• The eGauge Energy Monitor is a flexible, secure,
  web-based electric energy meter that measures up
  to 12 circuits on up to 3-phases (120V-480V,
  50-60Hz). You can use the eGauge to measure and
  record building electrical consumption, solar,
  wind and other electricity generation, and
  consumption of individual circuits, such as
  equipment, pumps, motors, EV charging and
  heaters. The data can be viewed on any web device
  through the in-built web-server. The display
  updates every second, giving direct feedback on
  any load or generation changes. It records the
  most recent 30 years of data in the built-in
  solid-state memory.

Option 5 eGauge EG3000-016

• The Bluelog data loggers record all data from PV
  systems centrally and ensure compliance with the
  national and international requirements of grid
  operators along with country-specific feed-in
  regulations according to the system size. The new
  generation results from the continued development
  of the WEBlog series and offers useful new
  functionality and a flexibly extensible system to
  meet the requirements of the future energy
  landscape. The X-Series sets new standards in
  areas including safety, installation,
  maintenance, usability and networking of web
  portal, and data logger.

Option 6 BCJ Controls

• BCJ Controls - commercial solar network
  protection unit - switchboard manufacturing
  including protection relay anti-islanding and
  zero export devices.
• BCJ Controls is a solar technology company set up
  by ex-utility industrial sparkies. Between them
  they have a large amount of experience in
  electrical grid protection, as well as dealing
  with utilities on a day-to-day basis.
