9.4 Data Acquisition Service
Some companies provide data collection services for your renewable energy system. All the in-
terfacing, programming, and setup are done by the service provider. Usually, the service provider
collects data and displays it on a secure website to be accessed at the customer’s convenience.
Data can often be converted to a graphical format, making it easier to understand for customers
without a technical background.
Because the service provider handles all the communication, connections and technical issues,
this means of data collection can be both professional and cost effective. Contact a data service
provider for more information.
