PV2Web™ Whole-Building Energy Monitoring
A solar roof is a great asset for any house, but what good is it if you don’t know how much energy the system is producing? With Fat Spaniel monitoring, you get an accurate and real-time view of your savings and production, wherever you need it.
Maximize your savings by scheduling your heaviest use of electricity when energy is cheapest. Export energy to the grid during peak demand times. With optional energy use monitoring, you can identify energy-wasters and measure the impact of conservation strategies.
Share the Environmental Benefits with Your Friends
Help your friends and family understand the environmental benefits of solar energy. Clear and dynamic graphics show how much potential pollution you are preventing by generating solar electricity. You can access this data anywhere using Internet or mobile phone technology.
“Alert” programming stores maintenance and troubleshooting information, so your installation technician can monitor your system remotely, saving on travel and service charges. You can feel secure knowing that your installer will receive automated alerts if there are any performance issues.
Benefits
- Reduce your electricity bill through tighter management of energy production and usage.
- Increase your awareness of electricity use and encourage more energy efficient behavior.
