Energy management

Energy consumption monitoring

Round-the-clock monitoring of energy generation and consumption in a single application. Live view, full history, alerts for faults and drops in output. The first step before you start saving.

See where the power goes before you try to save it

Energy monitoring (SVE Detect) is continuous measurement of what your panels generate and what your building draws, available live 24/7 in an application on your phone. It shows current generation, grid import, exported surplus and the history of any day, and when the inverter stops working or output falls it sends an alert on its own. This is the first level of energy management at Sun Valley Energy and the foundation for analysis (SVE Analyze) and optimisation (SVE Optimize). Without reliable data, every decision about saving energy is guesswork.

Generation and consumption charts in an energy monitoring application

Why it is worth it

Live view in the application

Generation, import, exported surplus and battery state on one screen. Check the installation from your phone, at home or anywhere else.

Alerts for faults and drops

When the inverter stops or output falls below normal you get a notification. You react in hours, not after the quarterly invoice.

History and load profile

Data for every day, week and month. You see when you consume most and which devices draw power in the background.

The starting point for saving

Real numbers instead of impressions. On that basis we plan the analysis and optimisation that actually reduce bills.

Proof the installation performs

You can check whether panels and battery deliver what they should. A measured output record makes a warranty claim far easier.

Data you can actually read

We configure monitoring so the numbers are clear to you. No jargon, with a plain description of every chart.

The process

Review of the installation

We establish which inverter, battery and meter you have and whether the manufacturer exposes data. We match the measurement method to your equipment, without needless replacement.

Sensor fitting and configuration

Where needed we add meters on individual circuits (generation, import, storage). Everything is connected to the application and your online account.

Calibration and alert thresholds

We verify that the readings agree, set the notification thresholds for faults and output drops, and choose the indicators you want to follow.

Handover and first reading

We show you how to read the data and go through the first load profile together, pointing to where saving is worth starting.

What SVE Detect measures and shows

The measurement scope depends on your installation and the package chosen. This is what we track most often in homes and companies.

Parameter What it shows Frequency Alert
Solar generation Current and cumulative kWh live output drop
Grid import How much power you buy and when live unusual spike
Exported surplus Energy sent to the grid live none
Battery state State of charge and cycles live low state of charge
Self-consumption Share of your own power used daily, monthly none
Inverter status Status and error codes continuous fault, no operation

We confirm the exact scope after checking your inverter, battery and meter. Some data comes from the manufacturer portal, some from meters we add.

What does energy monitoring cost?

Monitoring (SVE Detect) generation and import measurement + application from PLN 1,500
Measurement of selected circuits and storage extended scope for a home with a battery from PLN 1,500
Monitoring within a PV installation from us where the inverter exposes data, basic monitoring is usually part of commissioning included in the installation
Monitoring for a company multiple meters, reporting, integrations individual quote

Indicative gross prices in Polish złoty. For installations we fit ourselves, basic monitoring is normally part of commissioning. We give an exact quote after checking the equipment.

Your questions answered

What is energy consumption monitoring?
It is continuous measurement of how much power your panels generate and how much your home or company draws. You see the data live in an application: current generation, grid import, exported surplus and history. The system also sends alerts when the installation stops working or output falls. This is the first level of the SVE Detect service and the starting point for any optimisation.
Will monitoring work with my inverter?
Usually yes. Most inverters from established manufacturers expose data through a portal or app that we connect to the monitoring system. If your equipment does not share data, or you want to measure consumption more precisely, we add separate meters on the circuits. We choose the method after inspecting the installation.
How much does implementation cost?
Standalone monitoring (SVE Detect) starts at around PLN 1,500: measurement of generation and import plus configuration of the application. Measuring selected circuits and the battery fits within that figure. For installations we fit ourselves, basic monitoring is normally part of commissioning, so there is nothing extra to pay. For companies we prepare an individual quote. We confirm the exact cost after checking the equipment.
What do fault alerts actually give me?
Without monitoring you often learn about an outage only from a higher bill, sometimes after several weeks of lost generation. With alerts you are notified the same day the inverter stops or output falls below normal. You react quickly and you do not lose your own production.
Does monitoring reduce bills by itself?
Measurement alone does not change consumption, but without it you do not know what to reduce. Monitoring shows when you consume most and what draws power in the background. That data is the basis for analysis (SVE Analyze) and optimisation (SVE Optimize), which do reduce bills directly. Monitoring is the foundation, not the whole house.
Can I see the data away from home?
Yes. The application works on a phone and in a browser, so you can check generation and consumption from anywhere. For companies and multi-meter installations we set up access for several people and recurring reports.
How does monitoring differ from optimisation?
Monitoring (SVE Detect) measures and shows what is happening with your energy. Optimisation (SVE Optimize) goes further and controls appliances, storage and charging based on energy prices and solar output. Monitoring is level one, optimisation is level three. One builds on the other.
Can I start with monitoring alone and extend later?
Yes, that is exactly our model. You start with measurement and add the further layers, analysis and optimisation, once you have data and know where the largest saving potential sits. As a lifecycle partner we extend the system at the pace that suits you.
