Ever think about making the switch to solar energy? Already made the switch but wondering what kind of impact it really has on the environment and in what ways can you make the transition more manageable? We would like to answer some questions about solar technology and the long-term investment of switching to a renewable energy source — this means for you, your family, and the environment.
Solar energy collected from the sun that can be stored and used to run everything from houses to cars. When you install PV panels, you convert the sun’s thermal energy (DC input) into power (AC output) through an inverter that feeds into your home, building, utility grid or your storage system. Managing and monitoring how much power is being generated through your panels is the next step to setting up a high functioning solar PV plant. Hardware independent solar PV monitoring systems are a valuable component to your solar array. These solar production meters and data loggers can work with a variety of different inverters to give you real-time alerts, allowing your installer to monitor your plant remotely. Revenue grade meters provide the accurate power production information needed to automatically report to your incentive programs so you can earn on your investment.
Having this kind of insight into your solar energy can help make a big difference in your utility bill. By switching to solar energy and integrating batteries, smart plugs, and additional accessories you not only limit the amount of grid consumed power but you have the information needed to change the amount of power you consume in your home.
How Does Your Solar Energy Look on the Planet?
Wear your solar pledge with pride and feel good about doing your duty as a global citizen! This commitment to a renewable and abundant energy source can help reduce nuclear waste, CO2 emissions, and save on the number of oil barrels used.
You are saving green in more ways than one, why not show it off! The Solar-Log® Dashboard displays the daily, monthly, yearly, and total environmental contribution a PV plant is generating. This feature can be accessed through any web browser so you can show off your power production and financial earnings.
Our Solar-Log® Pledge
At Solar-Log®, we take pride in our positive contribution and commitment to promoting renewable energy. This means that our Solar-Log® innovative solutions are not only part of our company philosophy, but a way for us to take the stride into improving solar energy generation for the future.
In addition to the technology we develop to monitor efficient use of solar energy, we also keep current on breaking developments in the industry and attend seminars and training courses throughout the year. At our German headquarters, we host our very own 180 kW PV plant as well as a unique solar-thermal parabolic channel plant with an underground thermal storage unit. This combination ensures that our office building produces more energy than it consumes.
