The live output
When you have your system remotely monitored there are far greater benefits than just being able to log-in and see your data. You are protecting your investment.
Once past the excitement phase of your new solar power system and back to normal life, many people will nearly forget that they have their own power plant sitting on their roof (or in the paddock or wherever you put it). Monitoring of the output power is essential to maintaining full solar gain all year round. We will take regular measurements of the power output and compare these against historical data to catch and rectify and issues early. The biggest enemy of Solar panels is shade.
