SESK: Stuff Everyone Should Know · sesk.info/solar-monitoring-micro
What does NREL say is making automated remote monitoring more feasible on small residential systems?
Microinverter or power optimizer communications.
- Wider use of central inverters
- Cheaper grid electricity
- Microinverter or power optimizer communications ✔
Why: NREL says small systems often skip automated monitoring, but microinverter and power optimizer communications are making automated and remote monitoring more feasible.
Huh, didn't know that: NREL says basic monitoring can be as simple as checking the inverter's total generation once per year.
What did the light bulb say to the detective? Let's shed light on this mystery!
