New Web based Solar Thermal System Performance Monitoring & Verification Solution

Schüco Solar USA has partnered with SunReports to provide performance monitoring and verification solutions for Solar Thermal installations. The Apollo1 web-based solution will help ensure that our customers’ renewable energy investments are performing optimally at all times, and informs them of any potential concerns. This solution allows Schüco to continue to provide best in class service and products giving our customers peace of mind.

The Apollo1 provides installers with a system management tool that will help them manage their solar thermal install base and provide optimum level of system performance and customer satisfaction. The web-based solution provides remote performance monitoring, trouble shooting tools and alarm notification.

This announcement comes on the heels of new financial incentives for installing solar thermal systems in the State of California. On January 21, 2010, the California Public Utilities Commission approved the creation of the California Solar Initiative Thermal Program which allocates $350.8 million to promote solar water heating systems through direct financial incentives to retail customers, training for installers and building inspectors, and a statewide marketing campaign. The program is accepting applications from single-family residential customers since May 1, 2010, and will be followed by multi-family and commercial customers on July 1, 2010.
