Residential Solar Plant Monitoring Kit
Adding professional monitoring to new or existing solar plants is easy and affordable with the Solar-Log® Residential Solar Plant Monitoring Kit from Solar Data Systems, Inc. This pre-assembled, plug & play solution is compatible with most major inverter brands, making it an ideal solution for plants with defunct monitoring systems or obsolete inverters.
We understand that you lose money when solar plants malfunction.
The financial impact can be due to lost production or the time it takes to combat that loss. Add the Solar-Log® Residential Solar Plant Monitoring Kit to solar sites before issues significantly impact the financial return.
- Do you have zero insight into the production at existing sites?
- Is your residential fleet spread across several monitoring platforms?
- Are you worried that retrofitting sites will be expensive?
- Do reoccurring costs create headaches with billing plant owners?

Solar panels experience a decline in output over time. Environmental factors and component failures can also contribute to lower output as solar plants age. First-generation solar plants were very often installed without a monitoring system in place. That means that plants now reaching end of inverter life may be greatly underperforming. A dead inverter could go completely undetected, causing a significant financial loss. Every day that goes by without detecting a plant failure means a higher LOSS OF MONEY.
On older plants that do have monitoring, few are synced in real-time with diagnostics tools. To protect from poor plant output, the best option is to retrofit older solar plants, including those with inadequate monitoring, with a professional monitoring solution. An easy-to-install (retrofit) hardware solution combined with the right software tools is the best option.
Wood Mackenzie estimates that approximately 4.2 GWDC of solar assets will run into premature failures in 2020, with this annual total jumping to 36 GWDC in 2025. Retrofitting exiting sites with solar plant monitoring is a win-win for plant owners and O&M providers. Professional monitoring will ensure that that issues are detected immediately, the plant owners and other stakeholders make more money, and the solar O&M provider earns more business.
