GADS Reporting

Accurately capture and display operational data from your solar plants, inverters, and energy storage to meet all NERC requirements. We’ll keep your historical data clear and your screens operator-friendly.

Commissioning

Our expert technicians are happy to take care of instrumentation installation, network terminations, and testing, I/O terminations and loop checks, control hardware installation, as well as SCADA and control system commissioning.

Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) Control

Optimize battery health and performance with our bulletproof BESS control solutions. Monitor and control voltage, frequency, temperature, SoC (state of charge), and power output. Log and display data trends in real time.
Energy Management Systems (EMS)

Balance and visualize data across multiple energy systems including BESS, PV, and manufacturing. Implement predictive analysis to forecast demand while automating power generation, voltage control, grid integration, and more.

Vertech-Built Instrumentation

MET Stations +
Vertech's Solar MET Meteorological station.

Designed and built to last in our panel shop, Vertech's Solar MET Meteorological stations are easy to assemble and come standard with a precision instrumentation package and data logger all mounted on a stainless-steel mast.

Our standard instrumentation package includes a plane of array (POA) pyranometer, global horizontal irradiance (GHI) pyranometer, module surface temperature (MST), and a variety of other important weather and environmental condition measurements.

We offer Pro and Compact versions for greater flexibility and/or cost savings.
