GreenPeak Announces Wireless Monitoring and Control for Solar Panels

By DE Editors

GreenPeak Technologies announced a wireless monitoring and control system solution for solar panel installations that will allow individual panel parameter tracking and control.

Currently, most residential solar panel systems only provide energy information on a monthly basis and do not allow individual panel monitoring.  The GreenPeak Smart Junction Box reference design utilizing GreenPeak wireless chips provides a solution to monitor solar systems in more detail and to control the chain from a central unit or remote device.

According to the company, the Smart Junction Box solution allows solar panel builders to comply with new upcoming legal requirements requiring that solar panels can be individually switched off in case of calamities. By adding wireless Smart Junction Boxes on every individual panel, up to the minute status information on electricity generation of each panel can be provided and allows the operator to switch off individual panels or panel substrings for optimized overall solar panel system performance.
