The US energy sector is transitioning to a digital energy economy. This was our key takeaway message from SPI 2019.
We were at the event supporting – naak Inc – who showcased our distributed energy management solution.
If you are a US-based solar business, solar technology financier or have an interest in the clean energy space, please get in touch with naak’s CEO – Adam Boucher – to explore how we can help you differentiate your product and service offering.
carbonTRACK’s point of difference:
- Cellular comms
- Fleet-wide remote management (over-the-air updates with REDUCED TRUCK ROLLS)
- Solar optimisation
- Remote prioritised switching and load shifting capability
- Data disaggregation from 3rd party hardware using a dedicated API
carbonTRACK's patented intelligent energy management platform, lets energy users and energy providers remotely monitor, control and automate distributed energy assets.
It is a technology agnostic central gateway, enabling Virtual Power Plants and demand response initiatives.
Watch the video here to see how it all fits together.
Forward-looking solar industry leaders are exploring alternative models to market a range of managed energy services. These are some of the ways carbonTRACK's technology can help:
- Ensure 'always-on' connectivity across a multi-vendor fleet
- carbonTRACK can integrate with any SunSpec compatible solar inverter
- Cellular communication with end devices delivers greater security than Wi-Fi and helps ensure ‘always-on’ connections
- Create your own suite of energy optimisation services
- Maximise solar self- consumption using carbonTRACK’s 'Green Circuit' capability
- carbonTRACK lets energy users monitor, control and automate energy– via its App
- Leverage the system’s digital load shifting capability, remote prioritised switching and Time of Use management to deliver optimal value for your customers
- Provide ongoing (often remote) maintenance services
- Visualise and manage your installed base via the carbonTRACK Fleet Management interface
- Diagnose and resolve issues remotely and avoid expensive truck rolls
The shift to the distributed energy model will not be possible unless we empower energy users.
This means balancing their use of solar, grid and stored power and controlling equipment and appliances in line with their lifestyle.
The video explains how carbonTRACK automates this process.
Empowered energy users may be the foundation of the emerging distributed energy model, but the positive impact extends all the way up the energy value chain.
This is an overview of how key energy market participants can benefit from leveraging the carbonTRACK platform:
- Battery and storage providers can integrate seamlessly with the carbonTRACK platform and provide advanced – VPP ready – control of their storage solutions
- Home and business owners can monitor their energy use and leverage the system’s advanced control capability to act on these insights – including remote switching and scheduling loads to make the most of the sun’s free energy or best ToU grid energy rates
- Federal & State Governments, counties and municipalities can improve the efficiency of public sector buildings, set higher clean energy standards for new developments, and support renewable energy policy innovation
- Energy providers can predict grid loads and remotely manage distributed energy resources, demand response programs and virtual power plants
- Solar businesses can provide monitored and optimised solutions with a range of ongoing maintenance services and explore alternative business models as energy aggregators
- Energy efficiency consultants have behind the meter visibility into clients’ energy environments and can formulate targeted improvement initiatives and demonstrate their positive impact
