The SunWatch Meter
SunBug's SunWatch Meter is a window onto the energy use of your home or business. From any internet-connected computer, you can view your photovoltaic system's production as well as your overall consumption. Learn, save, and experience peace of mind for your solar investment.
Learn
Knowledge of your power consumption in real time makes it easier to reduce use. The norm for consumer savings with any direct-feedback monitoring tool like the SunWatch Meter ranges from 5-15%. Homewowners who have installed their own photovoltiac solar system and can easily access their electricity profile reduce consumption by as much as 20%.
Save
Reduced consumption means increased savings. While a daily energy reduction of 10% might not seem like much, over the course of a year that savings can be hundreds of dollars.
Peace of Mind
For customers who have installed solar with SunBug, the SunWatch Meter behaves like a security system. Should your array stop producing power the meter can automatically notify both you and us that there is a problem. Additionally, the SunWatch Meter acts as dividend statement for your solar system. It shows you the return on investment from your solar system on a daily, monthly, and annual basis.
How it Works
A meter mounted with your solar system measures your renewable energy production. With a solar electric system, it records solar production and overall consumption. The meter supplies a stream of data to a secure online database through your internet connection.
From any internet-connected computer, your can log into your personalized SunWatch page to see your energy profile in real time as well as through weekly, monthly or annual views.
