PORTFOLIO MICROGENERATION MONITORING

One view of every site. Every kWh. Every fault.

NZC Solar runs your microgeneration as a portfolio asset through NZC Portal — multi-site monitoring, automatic fault detection, performance against expected yield, and revenue protection across every install.

What it is

Live generation monitoring for every solar and microgeneration install across your portfolio. NZC Portal connects to site inverters and meters to collect real-time performance data, compare actual generation against expected yield, and flag underperformance automatically.

Fault alerts are generated when generation drops below expected thresholds — whether from shading, inverter failure, soiling, or grid issues — so maintenance teams can respond before revenue is lost.

The platform also records export-to-grid volumes and calculates verified carbon savings, giving you auditable evidence for SECR, GHG Protocol and investor reporting.

When you need it

  • You operate rooftop or ground-mount PV across multiple sites and need a single view of portfolio performance.
  • You want automatic fault alerts so underperformance is caught early, not months later at invoice review.
  • You need yield analytics that compare actual generation against design predictions and weather-adjusted baselines.
  • You report to investors or regulators on carbon reduction and need verified, auditable export and savings data.
  • You run PPA or tenant billing models and need accurate generation and export metering for revenue settlement.

What you get

Real-time generation monitoring

Live data from every inverter and meter across your portfolio, visible in a single dashboard.

Automatic fault alerts

Email and dashboard alerts when generation drops below expected yield — catch faults before they cost you money.

Performance against expected yield

Compare actual generation against PVGIS and site-specific models to spot underperformance and validate design assumptions.

Export and carbon reporting

Verified grid-export volumes and Scope 2 carbon savings, recorded automatically for SECR and investor disclosure.

Manufacturer portal vs NZC Portal

Inverter-manufacturer portals show generation. NZC Portal turns generation into a managed asset — across every site, with the billing, carbon and compliance outputs your stakeholders need.

How it works

  1. 1

    Connect every site

    NZC Portal integrates with your inverters, meters and monitoring hardware to pull live generation data from every install.

  2. 2

    Set expected yield baselines

    We model expected generation using PVGIS, weather data and site-specific factors so the platform knows what good looks like.

  3. 3

    Monitor and alert

    The platform tracks actual vs expected generation continuously and raises alerts when performance drops outside normal bounds.

  4. 4

    Report and verify

    Monthly and annual reports summarise generation, export, revenue and carbon savings — all auditable and disclosure-ready.

Monitoring capabilities in depth

Live monitoring

Real-time generation, consumption and export across every inverter and meter.

Historical trends

Half-hourly history per asset with multi-year comparisons and seasonality views.

Performance Ratio

Industry-standard PR calculations against design assumptions and irradiance data.

Inverter monitoring

Per-string and per-inverter performance, error codes and uptime tracking.

Alerts

Email and dashboard alerts for underperformance, communications loss and meter gaps.

Fault identification

Diagnostic patterns for shading, soiling, inverter trips, string failure and grid events.

Weather normalisation

Generation adjusted for actual irradiance and temperature so true performance is visible.

Asset health

Long-term degradation tracking and component-level health scoring across the portfolio.

Performance benchmarking

Site-vs-site and portfolio-vs-fleet benchmarks to surface the best and worst performers.

Benefits

  • • Catch underperformance in days, not at year-end invoice review.
  • • Defensible Performance Ratio for asset managers and lenders.
  • • A single portfolio view across mixed hardware and installers.
  • • Verified data feeds billing, carbon and ESG reporting downstream.

Integration with NZC Portal

Monitoring data feeds the asset record in NZC Portal, where it joins the building's wider energy, EPC, MEES and compliance information for landlord asset managers and sustainability teams.
