Greentech Lead America: Locus Energy, a developer of
web-based asset management software for renewable energy systems, has been
selected as an approved Performance Data Provider by the Connecticut Clean
Energy Finance and Investment Authority (CEFIA) for its Residential Solar
Investment Program.
Locus Energy has worked with CEFIA to create a special
monitoring solution that meets the requirements of the Program.
“We are delighted to be working with CEFIA on this
effort. Having grown up in the Hartford area of Connecticut, I’m very happy to
see the state continuing to offer innovative programs which help increase the
adoption of solar energy systems,” said Michael Herzig, founder and CEO of
Locus
Energy.Â
CEFIA’s Program is designed to provide homeowners with
access to personal portals so they can see how much electricity their system
has produced and the corresponding environmental benefits. To qualify for a
rebate under CEFIA’s Program all participants must purchase and install a
monitoring system from an approved Performance Data Provider.
The Locus platform enables CEFIA to offer a bundle of
hardware and web-based software that will track the performance of residential
solar photovoltaic systems and make the data available to participating
installers and homeowners. The performance data will be collected by Locus
Energy’s residential power meter, the LGate 101, and uploaded every 5 minutes
to the SolarOS monitoring website.
Participating installers will have access to the website
which provides tools to track aggregated power generation as well as identify
and address systems that are underperforming.
Recently, Locus Energy was recognized as the Best Green
Company by the New Jersey Technology Council at their recent Venture
Conference.
