Maintaining Profitability and Competitiveness in Commercial Solar
Abstract: Solar power is rapidly setting commercial practice standards in a maturing market motivated by maintaining
efficiency and cutting operational costs. Developers are selling into a more sophisticated,
mature customer base focused on economics.
Integrating a monitoring component into a solar system is becoming a requirement.
Real-time monitoring solutions offer business process integration that provides comparisons
of actual production, demand and financial performance.
Examples will be given of how developers can build a customized user interface,
which gives their business, as well as their end-users,
a chance to be much more in touch with their own energy profile.
