Florida-based Energy Toolbase has expanded its software offerings to include ETB Monitor, a solar-only monitoring platform designed to provide energy professionals and asset managers with comprehensive economic and solar energy monitoring, enabling them to maximize project value.

ETB Monitor is available as a standalone platform or as an integrated solution with the company’s existing software suite ETB Developer, which specializes in solar and energy storage proposal analysis. Users can now seamlessly transition from the development stage to the monitoring stage, all while utilizing Energy Toolbase’s utility rates database, electric bill calculation engine and account management team.

A site’s expected solar generation at a specific site can be visualized by analysis of system characteristics and micro-climate satellite weather data. This enables users to monitor the performance of solar energy system output to an expected baseline. This comparison simplifies the detection of potential issues, optimizes system performance and reduces operational costs.

Pairing ETB Developer and ETB Monitor is expected to provide users with easy access to critical performance and economic data for solar energy projects and maximize their economic impact.
