Renewables Introduces
SolrenView PV System Data Monitoring
LAWRENCE, Mass., October 14, 2008 - Solectria Renewables
introduces SolrenView web-based data monitoring service
for photovoltaic (PV) systems. These state-of-the-art
product packages provide streamlined, inverter-direct
and/or revenue-grade monitoring, and reports may be
accessed online at www.solrenview.com.
"SolrenView gives us exactly the right offering
for our customers and is very easy to specify and
install," said Mike Lastella of SouthPoint LLC,
a renewable energy design and installation group.
"We installed a system with six PV inverters,
and one SolrenView system monitored all the inverters
with a revenue-grade feed to the state funding agency."
Inverter-direct monitoring can be included with all
Solectria PV inverter models from 1.8 kW to 95 kW
and may also be added after installation. The service
can monitor up to 16 inverters on one Internet gateway,
minimizing complexity and hardware cost. The revenue-grade
monitoring option is certified to report to state
funding agencies such as CA-CEC, MA-MTC, CT-CCEF and
NJ-CEP, as may be required by the agencies for reporting
renewable energy credits. Both packages also include
email alerts with detailed descriptions of sudden
system problems as well as a recommended course of
action.
"These products are simple to understand and
specify," said Scott Bowden, Business Development
Manager at Solectria. "Advanced features such
as alerts and the revenue-grade option allow customers
to get exactly what they need for a great value in
basic monitoring."
The SolrenView offering compliments Solectria's full
suite of built-in Fat Spaniel data monitoring options
as well as other Solectria-compatible data monitoring
systems such as those from Energy Recommerce and Draker
Labs.
"We continue to support and work openly with
companies creating data monitoring products, as we
believe this will provide the best results for our
customers," said Michael Zuercher-Martinson,
Principal Engineer at Solectria. "SolrenView
allows us to detect potential problems at a much earlier
stage than possible in the past and can help prevent
downtime altogether."
