Company Highlights

AlsoEnergy was founded in 2007 by Robert Schaefer and Holden Caine, both with a background in hardware and software integration, who felt there was a need to build real-time software solutions that integrate renewable energy system performance data with financial management.

In 2009, AlsoEnergy introduced PowerTrack™, a cloud-based software platform for monitoring renewable energy system performance. The software is quickly hailed as the most flexible and affordable solar power monitoring software.

October 2013:  AlsoEnergy acquires DECK Monitoring, becoming the largest independent PV monitoring provider in North America. AlsoEnergy now offers 2 industry-leading software products, helping us find the perfect fit for all your portfolio management needs.

AlsoEnergy monitors over 10,000 solar power project sites across the U.S., the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Australia.

AlsoEnergy’s software is now accessible in five languages and also through iPhone, iPad, and Droid applications.

Satisfy your utility requirements and get all the benefits of our comprehensive software for solar monitoring and portfolio management.

No major solar power investment should go without the benefits of a PV monitoring system from AlsoEnergy. Our solar-specific analytics provide critical performance insights for your array, but that is just the beginning of the benefits of AlsoEnergy software. There is also a comprehensive toolkit for workflow and portfolio management, so you get a true enterprise-level solution for your full portfolio of PV systems. Use our software to integrate your O&M efforts with your business objectives. Streamline operations for contractors and project stakeholders, saving time and money over the life of each project.

Now AlsoEnergy offers an expanded range of options so you can get our solar monitoring suite along with all the SCADA control features required for your project. We can integrate our PV monitoring with a wide variety of third party and utility control configurations; we also offer an integrated PV monitoring and SCADA package using our own site controller. The AlsoEnergy site controller accommodates a wide range of commands, giving you thorough insight and control over your electrical distribution network. We will customize a system to meet your needs for hosting and security, data frequency, and command response.

AlsoEnergy is committed to provide solar-specific solutions to meet the needs of utility-scale PV asset managers. Our monitoring and control solutions integrate with third party software you may already use, including OSI PI.  Communications between sites and utility SCADA systems, regulatory agencies, and other bodies often needs to be secured; we have deployed solutions that secure these critical links over standard copper Ethernet, cellular, and radio links. We are also actively pursuing NERC CIP compliance.

AlsoEnergy Site Controller

AlsoEnergy offers a fully integrated SCADA-plus-monitoring solution with our own site controller. This option gives you the convenience of a single source provider, along with the advantages of dedicated service and support from AlsoEnergy.

The AlsoEnergy Site Controller enables a large range of control variables including Power Curtailment, Ramp Rate, and Power Factor. You can access all SCADA controls in your AlsoEnergy software interface, either from an on-site workstation, or remotely.

We offer an optional On-Site Historian to accommodate needs for local data storage or for high frequency data.

Integration with Third Party SCADA

AlsoEnergy monitoring can be integrated with a third party SCADA system at many existing sites, or we can integrate with third party SCADA as your project is planned and installed.

It is part of our mission to offer SCADA system-independent monitoring solutions. We will work with you to enable requested data sharing between platforms.

Integration with Utility Visibility/Control

Some customer projects require metering, inverter on/off controls, or full SCADA controls for the local utility. AlsoEnergy monitoring can be integrated with utility infrastructure at many existing sites, or we can integrate with utility metering and controls as your project is planned and installed.

We have integrated AlsoEnergy monitoring with utility infrastructure for a variety of project needs. Utilities with whom we have worked include CAISO, SCE, and greater Toronto area LDCs.
