How does Solar Monitoring work?

Customers of solar power can determine the time of day when their panels are performing at their best thanks to solar monitoring. Knowing when your system performs at its best can also help you use that energy as efficiently as possible. Solar monitor devices may also detect solar radiation and other weather information.

What is a solar monitoring system?

Solar monitoring systems provide a real-time snapshot of solar energy production data from your home solar system. A good monitoring system can tell you when one or more panels (aka “modules”) isn’t producing as much energy as others, or whether there’s some sort of electrical fault causing you to miss out on precious kilowatt-hours (kWh).

How do I monitor my solar panel usage?

To monitor your solar panel usage, you need a solar monitoring system. These systems provide detailed analysis of energy consumption and production, real-time monitoring, and system issue alerts.

What are solar monitoring apps?

Solar monitoring apps are technologically advanced systems that assist consumers in monitoring the energy generation of solar panels and the condition of inverters. These apps can be easily downloaded on phones, tablets, or computers, allowing users to access information about their solar system’s power production from anywhere in the world.

What is a solar inverter monitoring system?

Solar inverter monitoring systems are the more common of the two. They typically offer easy-to-read results on a website or mobile app. Inverter-based monitoring systems typically track energy production, basic home energy use, and system performance data.
