Solar Performance Monitoring Service

A solar system rarely stops dead. Far more often it quietly slips: one string trips, an optimiser fails, soiling builds, or an inverter throttles back. The panels still turn sunlight into power, just less of it, and without monitoring the shortfall only shows months later as a higher electricity bill.

By then you have lost generation you cannot get back. The earlier a shortfall is caught, the less it costs you. Monitoring closes that gap by comparing what the system produces against what it should, and flagging the difference early.

Most modern inverters and meters report generation data to a portal or app. A provider sets up monitoring against sensible expected figures, watches for drops, missing strings or error codes, and alerts you when something looks wrong. On larger systems this can go down to individual panels where optimisers or microinverters are fitted.

Good monitoring is about useful alerts, not a wall of numbers. A provider tunes it so you hear about real drops, not every passing cloud, and can compare one site against another where you run several. Alerts can go to you, the provider, or both.

Monitoring is most useful when someone acts on it. A provider can review the alerts, tell you whether it is a clean, a reset or a genuine fault, and arrange the right visit. That turns a stream of data into a short list of things actually worth doing.

To set it up, tell us what inverter and metering you already have and we pass your enquiry to a provider. They confirm whether your kit reports the data needed and quote for ongoing monitoring.
