MultiTech’s rCell 100 Series Routers Assist Service Providers in Monitoring Residential Solar Consumption

Solar power generation has emerged as a viable alternative energy source for many residential energy consumers. Energy companies need a way to monitor, measure, and control fully remote residential solar energy systems to provide customers with such things as system access and payback information.

The Challenge

Monitoring Residential Solar Energy Consumption

Utility companies need solar energy generation information to confirm the amount of energy sold back to them, ensuring that they receive a healthy ROI. Energy service providers also need to deliver data to homeowners that confirms that solar energy is worth the investment.

Due to the fact that most residential solar panels are remote, the utilities require a cost-effective way to access analytics pertaining to the amount of solar energy their homeowners are using. Internet controlled by the homeowner can be difficult to access. In many cases, other methods such as traditional analog telephone lines and embedded cellular modules, are either not fast enough or are impractical as an investment.
