Meet any monitoring or SCADA requirement
With AlsoEnergy’s roots in monitoring and control, we offer a suite of fully customisable monitoring and advanced SCADA solutions that will meet the need of any clean energy asset.
Monitoring and optimisation solution
Four utility assets, our edge solution for remote monitoring and troubleshooting enables O&M optimisation and increased system uptime. This solution collects and logs information from various on-site hardware and securely transmits it to PowerTrack. Preconfigured to your specifications, our hardware enables fast, plug-and-play installation and is ready for both indoor and outdoor installation.
Supervisory control and data acquisition
Equipped with extensive control functionalities to provide grid stability and optimise energy and financial performance, our cost-effective Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) solutions for utility assets easily meet the complex needs of any asset and grid interconnection requirements. As an end-to-end, tailor-designed offering, our SCADA solutions support quick and easy configuration and installation.
Fully integratable with PowerTrack, our on-site SCADA solution provide remote operations centres with real-time monitoring and controls through the Igntion-based HMI, PowerTrack SCADA, to enable fast and efficient decision making to achieve increased energy yields and support grid stability. Further improving energy yields, AlsoEnergy developed an industry-leading, extensive control library for our SCADA solution that enables optimised and dynamic energy harvest. Customised development of controls for individual assets is available from our professional services team.

Insights from the edge with reliable sensors and meters
Through PowerTrack and Ignition-based PowerTrack SCADA, AlsoEnergy’s edge solutions provide direct access to actual site conditions through integrated hardware, such as weather stations, meters and inverters, to measure and benchmark expected energy production. We offer utility-grade MET stations, weather sensors and RGMs, which can also be enhanced with high-fidelity, real-time and forecasted satellite weather data to provide expected energy calculations for regulatory requirements.
As part of our self-powered MET tower, which includes a UPS with local storage and dedicated data logger, AlsoEnergy offers the following weather sensors:
- Ambient and module temperature
- Wind speed and direction
- Humidity and barometric pressure
- Rain and snow depth
- Pyranometers, albedometers and pyrheliometers
- Soiling and reference cells
