How Much Money Am I Actually Saving With My Solar Panels?
- What are my solar savings?
Solar energy monitoring systems usually operate through their own proprietary software provided by the inverter manufacturer, and that is a very effective way of knowing how much energy you are producing – but that’s usually where the information ends. Companies and homeowners then need to wait 30 to 60 days for their utility company to send them a statement of how much is either owed or credited.
Now you have your statement and are scratching your head wondering – is this correct?
How much money is my solar saving me?
- Did you receive your full Return on Investment?
- What if you had issues with your setup?
It is now far too late to make any changes to maximize your solar energy – also known as your money.
The EYEDRO-HOME system monitors your solar generation or your consumption. With a second EYEDRO-HOME system, you can monitor solar generation, grid consumption, and net consumption. This NET METERING is the key to understanding your electrical ecosystem and how to maximize your return. Homeowners and Business owners alike can access this information in several ways, including through mobile phones, tablets, and computers.
- What happens when your internet goes down for a couple of days due to a storm?
