Stage 3 of 4 · Monitor
See every live site’s output against what it should be producing
Flow brings in generation data every day, compares each site with its design simulation and the weather, and flags the ones that need a look. Meters, maintenance visits, PPA contracts and REGOs sit on the same record.

Why live sites go quiet without anyone noticing
Once a site is generating, the data that proves it is working is spread across inverter portals, meter exports and service notes. The site that is underperforming is found later than it should be.

A short demo of the Monitor stage, from daily data to the monthly summary.
Every live site measured against its own design
Tell a dull month from a fault
Flow plots actual generation against the design simulation and a weather forecast, for one site or the whole portfolio, by hour, day, month or year. Each site is marked On target or Investigate.
- Actual vs simulated vs weather forecast, from hourly to yearly or a custom range
- Switch between generation, import and export meters, or this site and all sites
- Export the chart as CSV or PDF

Every meter on the site, and the source behind it
Data syncs automatically each day from SolarEdge, Solis or MeterOnline, or comes in from a CSV or Excel file. Meters are grouped into generation, import and export, and readings within a group are added together.
- Daily automatic sync, plus an on-demand sync of the last 90 days
- Weather backfill for sites with coordinates
- Generation, import and export meter groups, in the order you choose

Keep every site serviced, and know what it costs
Book visits, keep the service history and see what maintenance is costing, site by site. Annual reminders queue a draft visit 30 days ahead and email the technician and asset manager.
- Visit types from annual and quarterly maintenance to reactive, warranty and G99 inspection
- Draft visit queued 30 days ahead, with emails at 30 and 7 days
- Visits, spend and labour hours per site, with an ops report

Keep the paperwork that earns the revenue
Each site holds its power purchase agreements, with warnings as they near expiry, and a monthly summary of generation, export and the REGOs it has earned.
- PPA contracts with terms, dates and expiry warnings
- Monthly generation, export and cumulative totals, by year
- REGOs counted as generation passes each MWh, with a REGO pack in Analytics

Generation becomes the evidence for the return
Everything measured in Monitor feeds the reporting investors and the board see, without anyone re-keying it.
Production reaches Analytics
Year-to-date generation and revenue by class, with a 12-month trend and a health score.
Performance shows on the project
The 90-day performance figure sits on the project overview, next to its CAPEX and yield.
Investors can see production
Share links can show production only, without financials, for investors who need the output.
The tools behind the Monitor stage
Built for the people who keep sites generating
Asset managers
See which sites are on target and which need investigating, across the whole portfolio.
Operations and maintenance
Visits booked, reminders sent and the service history kept on the site.
Customers
A read-only portal showing their own project and its monitoring data.
Bring a site you are unsure about to the demo

Questions about the Monitor stage
Which monitoring systems does Flow work with?
Flow syncs from SolarEdge, Solis and MeterOnline. Data from other systems can be imported from a CSV or Excel file.
How often is data updated?
Every site syncs automatically once a day. You can also sync the last 90 days on demand.
How does Flow decide whether a site is performing?
It compares actual generation with the design simulation, with a weather forecast overlay, and marks the site On target or Investigate.
Can customers see their own site?
Yes. A read-only customer portal link is generated when the project reaches monitoring status.
Does Flow track REGOs?
Yes. The monthly summary counts a REGO each time cumulative generation passes another MWh, and Analytics produces a REGO pack.
