Cenergy, a leading national solar developer, has announced its partnership with Next Wave Energy Monitoring to provide advanced monitoring and data acquisition systems (DAS) for community solar projects. This partnership covers more than 60 megawatts of projects located in the states of Illinois and Maine.

A strategic partnership for community solar projects

This decision aligns with Cenergy’s commitment to providing high-quality solar systems and ensuring their long-term performance. The partnership with Next Wave Energy Monitoring will guarantee reliable monitoring and effective data acquisition for these critical community solar initiatives, which are vital in meeting the growing demand for clean energy in these regions.

Advanced monitoring technology for extreme weather conditions

The Midwest and Northeast United States, where weather conditions can be particularly challenging, require robust and reliable solutions. Next Wave Energy Monitoring was chosen for its expertise in providing monitoring systems that ensure a secure data flow, even in these extreme environments. The company also ensured a seamless commissioning process with its pre-configured hardware and responsive technical support.

Optimizing maintenance and project performance

Andrew B. Goldin, Senior Vice President of Cenergy, emphasized that Next Wave’s focus on power quality in its monitoring software will enhance ongoing maintenance efforts. This will enable stakeholders to proactively monitor the performance of projects and optimize their operation throughout their lifecycle.
