Scroll the table sideways. The product column stays in place.
A free, community-run site where solar owners upload their own generation data, compare it with neighbouring systems, and pull it back out through an open API — the honest answer to "is there free solar monitoring", and not a product in the sense the rest of THE 100 are products.
The commissioning and monitoring portal that ships with Tigo TS4 module-level electronics — free at the base tier, with a $20/yr per-site upgrade for minute-level data and API access and a $199/yr company plan for fleet management.
An Australian consumer-facing solar performance and savings monitor that models what a system *should* be producing from its own specifications and local weather, then flags the gap — sold by subscription per inverter, or free if you install the group's own CATCH Control hardware.
A German-engineered, manufacturer-independent cloud monitoring and technical-operations platform for PV and BESS portfolios, normally paired with the vendor's own blue'Log X-Series datalogger, with a documented public REST API.
A German PV monitoring and energy-management portal that is genuinely manufacturer-independent at the *inverter* layer — 3,800+ components across 179 manufacturers — but which, at the *logger* layer, still expects a Solar-Log Base device, with only two third-party logger brands supported so far.
A vendor-independent renewable energy management suite spanning SCADA, power plant control, EMS, asset performance management, field service and commercial/invoice management for utility-scale wind, solar, hydro and BESS portfolios.
A German manufacturer-independent PV monitoring portal that pulls existing loggers and inverter clouds into one login, with a genuine white-label option and no hardware of its own to sell.
A hardware-agnostic SaaS platform for monitoring, analysing and optimising solar, wind and BESS assets, built on a physics-based digital twin, sold by a Belgian company that also sells human advisory services and resource data.
