Microgeneration: Solar

Interest in renewable energy or microgeneration has never been as high and it is hardly surprising with government incentives and increasing energy bills. Consumers are now proactively searching for information and options in this sector and the Solo PV is designed to offer solar PV installers and manufacturers a simple solution to help differentiate their solar PV proposition.

In the last 6-months alone the number of registered installers on the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) database has doubled! As competition in the market increases the Solo PV will help any installer or solar panel manufacturer stand out. 

The Solo PV

Using the standard GEO display layout (designed to simulate a car dashboard) the Solo PV comes with a colour, backlit screen. These similarities make the display very intuitive and easy for users to understand. It provides live generation information to the user giving a clear picture of how well their PV array is performing. This information can be shown as money earned via feed in tariffs (FITs), kilowatts generated or the amount of CO2 saved. The display also shows generation over the course of the day, yesterday and the last 7-days.

Utilising an LED reader that attaches directly onto the outside of the generation meter, the Solo PV is simple to install. The LED reader then plugs into a transmitter, which is pre-paired to communicate wirelessly with the display which can be located wherever required within the home. As the Solo PV works independently of the invertor, it will work with the majority of OFGEM approved generation meters providing flexibility of choice for installers.

Designed specifically for the PV market the Solo PV indicates when the array is producing enough energy to power high load appliances (such as dishwashers and tumble dryers). Ensuring power generated via panels is used efficiently.

MyEnergy for the Solo PV

Included with all Solo PV displays is access to GEO’s MyEnergy web portal. Using an SD card several years of data can be stored and transferred the graphical web portal allowing comparison of historic data and trends.
