Under the contract, PassivSystems will provide irradiance-adjusted solar PV monitoring service to individual solar arrays, ensuring their proper performance as anticipated.

The monitoring service will also provide alerts of any sporadic faults as well as in-depth analysis of the portfolio.

The solar campaign is aimed at installing 30MW of new solar capacity across the UK at no cost to customers and is expected to create 500 new jobs.

The entire campaign will now see PassivSystems working with Freetricity and installation partner Styles & Wood energy to fund free residential solar installs and monitoring on up to 1,500 installations a month.

The systems will get tariffs for 20 years under the feed-in-tariff subsidy scheme offered by the UK government and homeowners will be allowed to access the electricity produced by the systems at no additional cost to themselves.

PassivSystems CEO Colin Calder said that their monitoring service will offer consumers with green, sustainable energy, reducing rising energy bills.

"With the energy crisis looming, this partnership couldn’t have come at a better time," added Calder.
