More than 30 GW in the monitoring portfolio; new commercial PV monitoring solution for European market

Berlin, May 13, 2019. In July 2018 skytron energy, one of Europe's pioneering solar software and hardware companies, announced a merger with AlsoEnergy, the US-based leader for renewable energy software solutions. Today these companies announce their decision to move forward in global markets under the AlsoEnergy brand name, while continuing to develop and support existing skytron products. Complete sales and support services will continue in the European branch of the company, where quality management systems have recently achieved ISO 9001 certification. The joint monitoring portfolio currently comprises 30 GW of renewable energy capacity.

Along with AlsoEnergy's acquisitions of US-based monitoring providers Locus Energy and Draker Energy, this forms a global company with offices in the US, Germany, Japan, and India. This also combines the expertise of each company's personnel and intellectual property, driving a product catalog that spans residential to utility scale PV projects and serves the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, and the APAC region. "The great challenge for technology providers in the renewables market is turning all this data into actionable information for clients," says Robert Schaefer, AlsoEnergy co-founder and CEO. "We are drawing on the experience and knowledge of our expanded team and our new clients to drive development of next generation solutions including predictive analytics and machine learning."

Additionally, AlsoEnergy announces the forthcoming European market release of a monitoring and control solution designed for commercial and industrial (C&I) scale solar PV projects. AlsoEnergy C&I Solutions will fulfill regional market requirements including control functionality, FTP push and energy trading capabilities.

With full feature sets for analytics, diagnostics, reporting, and integrated CMMS, PowerTrack is a single platform encompassing monitoring, O&M, and asset management.
