Performance Monitoring

Monitoring is the difference between knowing your solar system is working and hoping it is. Farm solar installations represent significant capital investment — £15,000 to £300,000+ — and without proper monitoring, faults can go undetected for months, silently costing you thousands in lost generation.

Our monitoring systems provide real-time visibility into every aspect of your solar installation. Panel-level monitoring tracks individual panel performance, instantly flagging underperforming units caused by shading, bird fouling, cell degradation, or connection failures. Inverter monitoring tracks conversion efficiency and identifies component issues before they cause system shutdowns. For battery-equipped systems, battery health monitoring ensures optimal charge cycles and alerts you to capacity degradation.

The dashboard accessible via smartphone, tablet, or desktop shows your live generation, current consumption, grid export/import, battery state, and cumulative savings. Weekly and monthly reports break down your energy performance, comparing actual generation against weather-adjusted predictions. If your system is underperforming, you'll know immediately — not when your next electricity bill arrives.

For multi-building farm installations, monitoring becomes essential. A fault on one string of panels in a distant barn might go unnoticed for months without monitoring. Our system aggregates data from all buildings into a single view, making it easy to see at a glance whether every part of your installation is performing as expected.

All monitoring data feeds into our maintenance team's dashboard. When your system flags an issue, we can often diagnose the problem remotely and arrive with the right parts for a first-visit fix — minimising downtime and maximising your energy generation throughout the year.
