Renewable energy is the future of the power sector. Solar monitoring System allows us to see how much solar power your system generates
Xenius integrates seamlessly with Solar Inverters and assists in monitoring and managing various aspects ranging from efficient operations to Monitoring and Verification (M&V)
While solar plants may be a way to be environmentally conscious, a monitoring system is required to ensure adequate power generation and efficacy of your plant. The Internet of Things (IoT) provides a solution that is put into action by a smart solar monitoring system. A complete solar plant solution enables the efficient monitoring and managing of your plant, adding to a smarter energy infrastructure for the future.
How to monitor solar output
The best way to ensure the performance of your solar plant is to install a solar monitoring system. The system allows for remote solar monitoring. A solar plant is installed by making a large financial investment to the installation company. On paper, the solar company offers the consumer an appealing payback. However, in reality the situation does not always match what the solar installation company promises. The most important factor is power generation monitoring.
Configuration of a solar monitoring system
A solar panel output monitoring system is a combination of hardware and software that provides a complete solution for monitoring the performance of solar plants. The Solar Monitoring System includes the following components:
- Data Logger
- Sensors with RS 485 outputs
- Cloud based software: Xenius
Defining a smart solar monitoring syste
A smart solar monitoring system is an online system for monitoring the performance of solar plants. It is a combination of hardware and software that provides a complete solar plant solution. The data logger collects data from all sensors, including inverters, pyranometers and temperature sensors among others.
How data is sent from sensors to servers
Data from the Data Logger can be sent to the server via SIM card. These data loggers use Internet of Things (IoT) technology to send all data collected from all sensors to cloud servers. The data is routed to a Head End System (HES), where it is sorted and processed into meaningful information.
Importance of renewable sources of energy
Renewable energy is the future of the power sector. A solar monitoring system allows us to see how much solar power your system generates. Solar power is a renewable energy source, but it is constrained by nature. Factors such as cloudy weather and shaded areas limit the reach of the sun. The Government and private players must work together to promote the use of renewable energy over non-renewable energy sources such as coal and gasoline.
Solar monitoring system of Xenius
Xenius integrates seamlessly with solar inverters and assists in monitoring and managing various aspects ranging from efficient operations to Monitoring and Verification (M&V) to meet regulatory requirements. All the important data related to various power sources such as solar, grid, battery, DG and so on is visualised and managed in an intuitive manner. All of this provides deep insights and aids in optimising energy needs, making the overall energy infrastructure much more efficient and agile.
