WiMeter is a connected smart electric power meter and critical systems monitor. It saves your money by identifying energy wasting devices and proactively monitoring the health of your equipment, minimizes the downtime, and gives you a full picture of energy consumption. Wi-Meter installs on any circuit breaker panel or a splitter box and constantly monitors the power consumption of your electrical equipment. It has 28 channels of power measurement and supports up to 4 wired temperature sensors. A breaker panel can have more than one Wi-Meter if needed. Wi-Meter sends you mobile and desktop alerts about equipment malfunction, thus preventing equipment failure and saving you money. You can set up your own alerts on any of the power consumers and temperature sensors. Some unique features that make Wi-Meter superior to other power monitors: - It goes beyond electrical power metering. With its ability to read other sensors, such as the temperature, it allows you to "health check" your equipment. - It has a sharing feature. You can share any of the channels in Wi-Meter with other people. - Several Wi-Meters can be combined into one system. It supports sub-metering. - There is no "Always On" group of unidentified devices. It knows exactly what's always on, because it reads multiple individual circuits. - It works immediately after installation. There is no guessing or learning required. - It works with all residential and commercial electrical panels, with 1, 2 or 3 phases, and with voltages between 100 and 600V.

Solar Cloud puts your entire solar portfolio in your pocket. Monitor generation, track revenue, and catch faults early — from any site, at any time. MONITOR IN REAL TIME See live power generation as it happens, with a real-time power curve and yield curve that update through the day. Check current output, inverter efficiency, and whether every plant is online at a glance. TRACK ENERGY AND REVENUE Daily, monthly, yearly, and lifetime energy totals sit side by side with today's revenue and total revenue, so performance and return are always in the same view. PLANT-LEVEL DETAIL Open any plant for its full picture: capacity, location, live weather and irradiance, inverter status, and battery state of charge. Drill into DC input, AC output, and DC/AC conversion — voltage, current, frequency, and per-phase readings — to see exactly how a system is performing. STAY AHEAD OF FAULTS Alarm events are graded by importance — Critical, Failure, Info — and tracked open through closed. Filter by plant, device serial, alert name, date range, or status to find the event you need in seconds. BUILD THE CHART YOU NEED Select the parameters you care about and plot them together on the metric chart, by hour, day, month, or year. Show or hide series as you compare. REPORT AND EXPORT Review peak representation history with full filtering, search, and pagination, then export the results when you need to share or archive them. SEE THE IMPACT Every plant reports its environmental impact — coal saved and trees equivalent — alongside the numbers. BUILT FOR THE PEOPLE WHO RUN THE PLANTS Secure sign-in with password recovery and OTP verification. Designed for plant owners, O&M teams, and EPC operators who need answers without opening a laptop. Solar Cloud requires an account provided by your system administrator.
