SOLAR MONITORING
Envizi’s Solar Monitoring module—part of our Energy Management solution—tracks,
visualizes and analyzes the energy production, cost savings and return on investment
generated by solar Photovoltaic (PV) assets across your portfolio.
WHY MONITOR SOLAR PV ASSETS
Solar generation assets are becoming an increasingly common feature in the built environment, and tracking their
performance is essential for the validation and calculation of business cases, to verify production guarantees, to support
claims for rebates, and to share information with stakeholders.
However, tracking the performance of grid connected solar PV systems is complicated by a number of factors:
Because you are connected to the grid, power continues to flow even if your solar PV system is failing so you are less likely to identify faults
You can’t see the asset working as it has no moving parts
Viewing solar energy production across your portfolio can be complicated by the different communicationprotocols used by different inverter brands
Comparing production, consumption, export and financial data is difficult as the data is held in disparate systems

ENVIZI’S SOLAR MONITORING
MODULE CAN HELP YOU:
ENHANCE VISIBILITY
Review grid electricity consumptionalongside solar generation, consumptionand export at a site level and across your portfolio.
BENCHMARK PERFORMANCE
Measure and verify solar performanceagainst average historical generation andvendor performance guarantees.
TRACK FINANCIAL RETURN
Analyze financial performance – comparefinancial returns against a business case andtrack savings from avoided grid electricityand the value of solar revenues over time.
MAINTAIN ASSET PERFORMANCE
Manage and monitor data related to solarinstallation connectivity, system failures andinstances of underperformance.
COMPARE INSTALLATIONS ACROSS
YOUR PORTFOLIO
Calculate the relative performance ofinstallations to highlight leading and laggingassets across the solar portfolio. Interrogateperformance variations between installationsby grading relative performance of assets byinverter manufacturer.
