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.

WHAT ENVIZI’S SOLAR

MONITORING MODULE DELIVERS

Envizi’s Solar Monitoring Module brings all of yoursolar and grid electricity data into one system andutilizes analytics and data visualization tools to helpyou view your system configuration and interpretcomparative production, consumption and financialperformance of each of your solar generation assets.

Envizi’s Solar Monitoring Module includes thefollowing capabilities:

VISUALIZATION TOOLS FOR SOLAR

GENERATION, CONSUMPTION AND EXPORT

METRICS

Access dashboards with embedded analytics toeasily view solar generation, solar savings andrevenue at a site level and across your portfolio.Compare electricity consumption versus solar exportacross your portfolio.

ANALYTICS TO CALCULATE SAVINGS AND

REVENUE FROM SOLAR ASSETS

Use the Solar Financial Summary report to track solarinstallations over time, showing the cumulative valueinstallations deliver in addition to payback periodsand comparisons against proposed business cases .

ALERT SET UP AND MONITORING

CAPABILITY

Manage all system-generated alerts from asingle alert centre. Use intuitive dashboards andperformance visualizations to configure alertthresholds to highlight variances from expectedperformance profiles and identify where action isrequired to address underperforming sites.

RANKING TOOLS TO COMPARE ASSET

PERFORMANCE

Rank all assets by capacity and energy yield.Compare the performance of assets based onsavings from avoided grid electricity and/or revenuefrom electricity exported to the grid.
