Panel-level monitoring provides detailed performance data for each individual solar panel in your solar system. The string-level system shows the output of each string. Lastly, the system-level monitoring provides comprehensive oversight of the entire solar array's performance. Let's check out all the types:
This chapter provides the rationale behind photovoltaic (PV) system monitoring, its purpose, the necessity of proper measuring, and the frequency required to produce meaningful results. The need for system monitoring comprises three groups: user feedback, performance verification, and system evaluation.
Solar monitoring systems provide a real-time snapshot of solar energy production data from your home solar system. A good monitoring system can tell you when one or more panels (aka “modules”) isn't producing as much energy as others, or whether there's some sort of electrical fault causing you to miss out on precious kilowatt-hours (kWh).
Solar monitoring systems often include sensors that measure electrical parameters such as voltage, current, and power output from solar panels. These sensors allow for real-time tracking of energy production, helping to identify issues like underperformance or faults at the panel or system level.
Photovoltaic panels capture UV radiation, which an inverter converts from direct current (DC) power to alternating current (AC) energy. This inverter also acts as a monitoring device,
