Monitoring Costs

A solar energy monitor can cost a few hundred dollars or a few thousand depending on the type of monitor. More important, however, is the steep cost of having no solar monitoring.

Although solar energy monitors aren't necessary for a solar electric system to work, most homeowners agree they're essential to getting their money's worth out of their system.

More expensive solar monitoring solutions are more comprehensive. Solar monitoring solutions can be display-only solar monitors, which are the cheapest, to full monitoring services, which are the most expensive. Some full monitoring service solutions are included with your solar electric system.

Most homeowners discover the cost of having no solar monitor the hard way. Without a monitoring solution, you may not know if and when your system has a problem.

Although they might still be under warranty, many inverters fail before the expected 10 year lifespan. If your inverter stops working or if another problem occurs, you may not know until you get a large bill from your utility company that would reflect the loss of solar power.

Purchasing a solar monitoring solution is like insurance for your solar investment.
