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.
