Commercial Monitoring Systems

Maximum Return on Investment - Locked in Energy Cost - Minimum Life-Cycle Cost

That's what customers demand from commercial Photovoltaic (PV) Systems. And whatever the challenge, Energy Recommerce has efficient, cost-effective solutions providing flexible monitoring information technology.

Already a small solar energy system can help lower your energy bill. During daytime and hot summer months when the energy is most expensive, the solar energy system, if correctly sized, can offset the energy demand from the grid. This saves money and the environment. A roof-mounted system can turn unused roof space into a valuable energy producing asset. This has also the benefit of shading the building from the sun, thus reducing the need for air-conditioning.

Know What Your System Produces

Energy Recommerce monitoring system helps you see how much energy your system produces and thereby how much money you have saved. This data can be compared to the expected output and alarms triggered when anomalies occur. By also monitoring the demand, you get a profile for the facility's use that makes it easier to track down unnecessary enery usage and help you do something about it. A PV-system is very robust and needs very little maintenance. But, if a problem occurs in the system, alarming immediately notifies you so that measures can be taken promptly.

RECtrack™ Monitoring kits

RECtrack™ 2 and 3 are monitoring kits especially designed for Commercial applications. Their cost effective design and installation makes them affordable also in smaller systems. The RECtrack™ kits all comes complete with the monitoring service and hosting fees pre-paid for 5 years. The ENERGY RECOMMERCE system gets its energy information through the RECtrack™ Internet Gateway that communicates with the power generation equipment and uploads data to the ENERGY RECOMMERCE Information Server. Additionally, revenue grade electric meters and other equipment may also need to be installed to give you a complete view of your energy production and usage. No computer software installation is necessary.

RECtrack™ DC - String Monitoring

RECtrack™ DC (patent pending) with the RECtrack™ Smart Combiner adds detailed information of your PV-systems performance on a string level while it at the same time is saving money by facilitating installation and comissioning of the system. Monitoring on string level means that you in real-time get data from the individual parts of the PV-array that is tied into the RECtrack™ Smart Combiner. For example it helps in detecting ground-faults, solar panel drop-outs and other maintenance issues, that otherwise might go undetected. Tightly integrated with the rest of the RECtrack™ System it provides data in the same easy-to-use fashion over the web.
