Solar MET Stations
Our Solar MET Stations provide precise solar resource assessment and performance monitoring for utility-scale PV projects. These modular, SunSpec-certified systems integrate irradiance sensors, wind monitoring, and panel temperature tracking to optimize energy output. Designed for global deployment, they support compliance with IEC 61724-1 standards and offer cellular connectivity for remote installations.
SiteSage Technology
SiteSage enables comprehensive energy monitoring and control for residential and commercial buildings. This patented platform tracks electricity, water, and gas usage while offering thermostat controls and sensor integration. It delivers real-time data and historical reports to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and support sustainability initiatives across multi-unit properties.
PV Performance Tracking
Our PV performance tracking solutions combine weather data with production metrics to identify efficiency losses. By monitoring irradiance, panel temperatures, and soiling levels, we help operators maximize ROI through data-driven maintenance and optimization strategies tailored to specific site conditions.
Whole House Monitoring
Whole House Monitoring provides detailed insights into residential energy consumption patterns. This system tracks electricity, water, and HVAC performance while integrating air quality sensors to enhance comfort and efficiency. It offers homeowners actionable data to reduce utility bills and improve sustainability.
Air Quality Sensors
Our air quality sensors detect particulates, gases, and climate factors to ensure healthy indoor environments. These systems monitor carbon monoxide, humidity, and volatile organic compounds while providing real-time alerts and integration with building management platforms for proactive air quality management.
