Monitoring of energy production
How does solar roof monitoring work?
At the heart of the monitoring system is an inverter (inverter) equipped with a WiFi module. It is he who collects all the data on energy production and transfers it to the mobile application. Imagine that your solar roof is a small power plant, and an inverter is its command center - it records every kilowatt produced, tracks the performance of individual sections of the roof and informs you of everything that happens.
The data from the inverter is transferred over the Internet to the cloud, so you can access it from anywhere in the world. All you need is a smartphone and a dedicated app. It's a bit like managing your bank account remotely — you always know how much energy you've earned and how efficiently you're using it.
What exactly can you monitor?
The eTile solar roof monitoring system provides you with a number of useful information:
Current energy production - you can see in real time how much energy your roof generates. This is especially useful on sunny days when you want to use surplus energy to start energy-intensive devices.
Historical data - you can check how much energy you have produced in the previous days, weeks or months. The system automatically creates clear graphs showing production trends.
Financial savings - the application converts the energy produced into real savings, taking into account current electricity prices. You can see exactly how much money is left in your pocket.
Environmental impact - the system also shows how much you have reduced CO2 emissions with your installation. This is a great way to see your real contribution to climate protection.
How to use the monitoring system?
The operation of the monitoring system is really simple. After installing the application (available for both iOS and Android), the process is as follows:
First login - our technician will help you configure the application when you start the installation. You will receive all the access data you need and undergo a short user training.
Daily preview - it is worth checking the basic parameters of production regularly. This will allow you to quickly catch any irregularities and teach you when your roof is working most efficiently.
Trend analysis - once a month it is worth reviewing detailed statistics. You will see how energy production has changed depending on the weather and season. This knowledge will help you better plan your energy consumption.
When can a monitoring system help you?
The monitoring system is particularly useful in several situations:
Planning for larger purchases — thinking about buying an electric car or heat pump? Monitoring data will help you assess whether your installation will provide enough energy.
Detection of problems - a decrease in energy production may indicate a dirty roof or a technical malfunction. The system will quickly inform you about this, allowing you to react quickly.
Optimize consumption - by seeing when you produce the most energy, you can better plan the operation of energy-intensive appliances, such as a washing machine or dishwasher.
Frequently asked questions about monitoring
What happens if the internet stops working? Take it easy - your roof will continue to produce energy. The data is cached in the inverter and will be synchronized when the internet connection is restored.
Will the system notify me of a fault? Yes, you can set notifications for unusual situations. The system will send you an alert on your phone when it detects a significant decrease in production or other irregularities.
How often should I check the data? We recommend a daily glance at the basic parameters and a monthly review of detailed statistics. The system itself will notify you of possible problems.
Monitoring of energy production is not just a control tool - it is your guide in the world of renewable energy. It allows you to fully exploit the potential of the eTile solar roof and enjoy real savings. And most importantly, it gives you the confidence that your investment is working exactly as it should.
Did you know that a solar roof monitoring system processes more than a million measurement data per day? That's more than your average smartwatch for an all-day workout!
Did you know that with a monitoring system you can detect up to a 5% drop in roof performance? It's like noticing that in your car one cylinder works less efficiently!
Did you know that the algorithms of the monitoring system can predict with 90% accuracy how much energy you will produce the next day? It's like having your own meteorologist!
