ESA Proprietary Monitoring System

ESA Renewables (ESA) mission is to provide the best PV monitoring system available in the market. In an effort to provide the most professional service possible to customers, the ESA monitoring system is customizable to the client’s specific needs, enabling all project goals to be met. The proprietary monitoring system focuses on accuracy and reliability to optimize energy output and strengthen client assets.

An In-Depth Look at the ESA Monitoring Services

ESA developed its proprietary monitoring system to embody all the needs of the customer and engineers involved in each solar system. ESA’s monitoring system allows for centralized monitoring, reliable and secure data storage, adaptability to any size installation, and immediate access to alerts, updates, and current conditions at the site. Unlike other systems which only manage monitoring of the inverter, ESA has the ability to monitor each individual module on a solar array and can detect issues down to the string level. This detailed approach allows the solar farm to remain resilient to environmental factors. The comprehensive capabilities of the monitoring system produce maximum financial and energy returns and minimal expenses.

The monitoring system enables continuous viewing of pertinent data at a glance and the high level of customization permits each site to have a specifically tailored system. Daily graphs are displayed representing the essential parameters, including power, current, voltage and irradiation. Integral data is also at hand, such as energy reports which amplify the energy of each inverter and the total energy of the plant. The system can detect various problems which become alerts signaling the need for inspection, locating the issue down to the string line. The monitoring system software is highly maneuverable and incorporates an easy-to-use web application interface that can be accessed from anywhere in the world, enabling engineers to make crucial adjustments to maximize energy production. The web interface is extremely understandable and effective from ESA and the customer’s perspective. An advanced CPU and central server are installed on the site to read and store data, facilitate tasks, and manage the user connections to the monitoring system. ESA strives to simplify the experience of going solar, and the monitoring system is a vital component in the process.

ESA Proprietary Monitoring System Advantages

The main advantage of ESA’s proprietary monitoring software is complete and total functionality.

• Software Upgrades & Licenses  – ESA has the ability to offer a software upgrade kit to keep the system up-to-date with the customer’s needs. ESA holds the licenses and rights to the software and, therefore, can edit the program at any time as well as provide hands-on tutorials with the web interface for customers.
• Quality Assurance  – Due to ESA’s independent development of the system, all ESA engineers are qualified to perform installation of the software and other related equipment, ensuring quality and immediate action to any maintenance issues.
• Software Service Agreement  – Software support is offered for duration of two years including automatic system upgrades, on a needed basis, to fix any problems that may arise.
• Expert Support Team  – ESA is the absolute expert in the inner workings of the proprietary system. This enables the customer to feel completely at ease in letting ESA take on the full complexity of their project.

Independent Energy Services

Understanding and mitigating the risks associated with renewable energy projects is critical for developers, lenders and investors. We firmly believe that before a potential owner or investor buys any solar system, the owner’s facilities or site should be evaluated to determine if a solar system is feasible and if it makes economic sense. ESA Renewables can provide comprehensive independent energy assessments and due diligence services to the solar industry because of our proven track record of past projects and experience in the Renewables energy field. The key to future success lies in understanding plant performance, what drives it, and attention to detail during operations.

ESA Renewables also specializes in third-party site assessments, development pipeline & risk reviews, and large portfolio reviews for solar projects in various stages of the development pipeline for acquisitions and appraisal of assets.

Due Diligence services:

• Detailed Site Surveys
• Independent Assessment of Resource and Expected Energy Production
• Evaluation of Expansion Considerations
• Review of Plant Design
• Review of Grid Interconnection Plan and Design
• Review of Supplier and Contractor Qualifications

Asset Management

Accurate energy assessments are the key to realistic expectations for project performance and have significant impact on project finance through a rigorous analysis of the solar resource at a project site. ESA Renewables provides bankable long-term energy production statistics and probabilities for proposed solar plants.

Research & Development

As a forward thinking renewable energy company, ESA continues to evolve through its pioneering research and development efforts such as our own grid-connected “Pilot Photovoltaic Plant”.  The pilot plant is placed on an industrial warehouse in which ESA utilizes its newly developed monitoring systems to perform an extensive evaluation and exhaustive control of the energy production versus cost effectiveness.  Technologies being tested include monocrystalline, polycrystalline, amorphous silica, microamorphous silica and CIS modules.

Solar Innovation is the Future

As the world becomes more aware of the importance of conservation of energy and the environment, ESA continues to cultivate and develop new technologies.  ESA Renewables is proud to be a leading photovoltaic energy company continually raising the bar, constantly improving and focused on harnessing the sun’s energy to produce solar energy.  From innovative turnkey solar energy systems and ancillary proprietary systems, ESA’s is on a clear path to success.

From its inception, ESA was a leader in that it was the only company of its kind in the renewable energy sector, responding to the growing demand for installations, ESA became key point of reference in which other companies founded at a later date measured themselves.

ESA’s pioneering technologies for the solar markets continue to provide a strong growth path into the solar photovoltaic arena.
