Solar panel monitoring and maintenance
For simpler monitoring, it's possible to install a remotely accessible network device, allowing real-time monitoring of your solar park's productivity and various network parameters.
If necessary, we conduct fault detection and troubleshooting.
Contact us if you need maintenance, a contract, or in case of an emergency:

Advantages of monitoring
Monitoring provides insight into when and what productivity is, allowing you to shape your energy consumption accordingly. Additionally, it's possible to see both productivity and overall consumption when using the phase measurement option.
As a rule, there is a habit of monitoring energy consumption to adjust consumption according to the current productivity of the panels.
-Real-time productivity
-Real-time consumption
-Battery capacity
-Time-based productivity (hour, day, year)
-Alarms
-Available on computers and smartphones
Inverter control and monitoring of stock prices
We install an additional device, Modbus R2, to your inverter.
-Operates over a Wi-Fi network
-Real-time information about the produced energy and parameters for storing it in batteries
-Storing energy in batteries during cheaper periods
-Can additionally control household consumers via 2 relays (The most common usage is to limit the operation of, for example, an air-water or ground-source heat pump during expensive hours using one relay)
If the heat pump supports SG Ready functionality, it is possible to use the second relay to also use domestic hot water and heating as an "battery", and to store excess cheap electricity as heat. Such interfaces are available, for example, on Nibe, Thermia, Daikin, Fujitsu, Atlantic, Mitshubishi, Panasonic*, and many other heat pump models. When the batteries are full and electricity is sufficiently cheap, we can use heat pumps with SG Ready interfaces to raise, for example, the hot water temperature by 5 degrees. Raising the temperature of a 200-liter boiler by 5 degrees stores 1.1 kWh of energy in the water.
In addition to heat pumps, it is possible to control many different electrical devices - air conditioners, electric boilers, electric boilers for accumulator tanks, pools, etc. Raising the temperature by 10 degrees on a 1000 m3 accumulator tank stores 11 kWh of energy. Raising the temperature by just 1 degree on a 36 m3 pool stores 40 kWh of energy.
Maintenance and supervision
-Monitoring with monitoring software
-Communication with the client and manufacturer in case of errors
-Software updates
-Auditing electrical connections
-Checking cable and installation requirements
-Assessing panel downtime
-Assessing system reliability
-Assessing the proper functioning of the installed system
(if desired, we also conclude a maintenance agreement, under which we maintain and deal with park maintenance and overall condition assessment)
