Worldwide demand for renewable energy is growing exponentially due to concerns about climate change, energy supply security and rising costs of fossil fuels. As solar electric, solar thermal, wind and other renewable energy systems become viable energy alternatives, there is a critical need to ensure that these systems can be remotely monitored, managed and controlled – over the Internet.
