Some key points made include: - 95% of solar PV and 99% of solar thermal systems currently go unmonitored. - Monitoring systems provide benefits like detecting underperformance or failures, ensuring proper installation and operation, and providing a return on investment through increased efficiency. - SunReports' solution can monitor both PV and solar hot water in one unit with a simple installation and allows installers and customers to monitor performance remotely via online portals.
