Solar PV and Grid Energy Monitoring

Energy Monitoring Features

SYSTEM FEATURES:

  • Real-time monitoring of PV system from within or outside building premises
  • User-friendly analytical software for viewing data
  • Printable screen plots and data reports
  • System graphically alerts problems with energy production or hardware operation
  • Easy to install hardware with Plug and Play connections from sensors to Data Logger
  • Operates from battery bank automatically with 12, 24, or 48 VDC systems
  • Monitors the status of battery charge capacity
  • System operation requires no special training
  • Interactive tutorial demo software teaches user to set up reports and graphs in real-time
  • System programmable at Data Logger location or via computer site
  • Remote display viewing with a remote monitor
  • Visual alerts for notifications of performance anomalies or equipment malfunctions
  • Isolated high DC voltage inputs
  • Field selectable sensor input options for grid power usage and net metering
  • Software and hardware features upgradable
  • Software works with up to 2 inverters on residential models and multiple inverters for commercial
  • Residential models track the energy use in buildings that do not exceed a maximum current of 200 amps (rms)
  • Accurate energy use metering for building loads close to power factor of 1

Accurately track energy data and usage

  • Energy production - daily, weekly and monthly
  • Building’s AC energy consumption
  • State of charge of battery backup system
  • Daily reduction of greenhouse gases
  • DC and AC current, voltage and power
  • DC Amps from multiple solar arrays
  • DC Watts from multiple solar arrays
  • DC voltage from solar array
  • AC power from multiple inverters
  • AC Amps from multiple inverters
  • KWatts used from electrical grid
  • Temperature of array
  • Ambient outside temperature
  • Irradiance received at solar array
  • AC voltage from inverter output
  • Measures amperage and voltage to ± 1%; accuracy and power to ± 3%
  • Accurate for all loads with a close-to-unity power factor
  •  

    Some data collection may require additional sensors depending on channels used and system installed.

    Data Logger Inputs

    Available Data Inputs

  • 11 channel input capacity to Data Logger*
  • Multiple DC current inputs
