Solar power systems are investments that are worth protecting. That means more than just opting for the installation warranty or ensuring correct product selection and integration. It also means staying ahead of the curve by anticipating potential system issues before they become more costly, saving you time and money in the long run. This is precisely why PV monitoring is so important. Once a solar power system consisting of PV modules has been installed and validated, the PV monitoring system takes on the task of keeping you, the consumer, informed in real-time about the health and operational status of your solar power system.

 

For more information on precisely how this is all done and the methods you can use to obtain your monitoring data, view our page on PV monitoring solutions. The popular Enphase Envoy system uses state-of-the-art telemetry hardware and reporting features that deliver the critical monitoring data you need right to your smart phone, and some problems can even be addressed remotely, saving even more money. 

 

Additionally, if a residential or commercial PV system has a monitoring system installed as part of the overall power solution, the building is itself better protected against potentially catastrophic disasters (electrical fire, etc.). Alerts are built into the system to make the user aware of system faults all the way down to the module level, meaning every single solar panel is itself being directly monitored. Cool stuff!
