[RE-wrenches] low cost DAS systems

[Jeff Irish]

Chris,

 

Locus Energy has a low cost, revenue grade system that will work with
all inverters.  We have several dozen deployed and they're working well.
Customer needs to have a high speed internet connection.

I've tried the TED and found it to be more of a toy than a serious
contractor product, although it may meet some user's needs.  The Locus
system is more accurate and robust, with much greater data storage.

Chris,

 

I've had one of my guys research this same question a while ago and the
conclusion was the as far as low-cost DAS systems, Fat Spaniel was the
big winner, as in under $1,000 which includes a year's worth of
monitoring.

 

Cheers,

Good Day Wrenches,

            I'm looking for suggestions for a low cost DAS system for
home/small commercial use. It just seems to be such a useful basic tool
to verify performance other than just the Kwh meter. I'd like to add
this to all of our clients quotes and projects. Looking for the basics
like module temperature and irradiance and it would be nice if it would
tie into the existing inverters DAS like an Enphase, Fronius or SMA to
name a few since they already have inverter and PV in/output
information. Or is Fat Spaniel and Helitronics my only options
otherwise? Thanks for the help ahead of time.

 

Christopher
