Monitoring

There are direct and indirect paybacks from energy monitoring.  Direct payback is received from changes in organizational behavior and business process and can yield immediate savings of up to 5%.  Indirect payback is comprised of two components; tariff and usage involving tariff schedule, billing and peak demand corrections, and load profiling to identify energy reduction measures.

Demand Side Monitoring – HelioPower provides commercial clients a one-year trial subscription to the demand side monitoring.  Monitoring total electrical consumption and key load centers provides important data that can be analyzed to give critical cost reduction information.  Guidelines from the DOE and similar sources recommend using “live” or “real-time” data for reporting and analysis. Automated alerting and real-time cost analysis are extended benefits that enable decisive, cost reduction actions.  

Reduced energy costs and reduced energy demands on the power grid are the foundational benefits.  Monitoring also provides the ability to maximize solar contribution efficiency, verify energy efficiency improvements, effectively reduce loads, calculate the ideal tariff schedule and verify billing accuracy.

Solar Monitoring -- Renewable energy is a great asset for any business.  Like any other asset you want to know how it’s working and how much energy it’s producing.  The monitoring system reports solar energy production and reports greenhouse gas emissions reductions with accurate, real-time data.  Data is tracked anytime anywhere on the Web.  A portal linked to the client’s website demonstrates environmental stewardship.
