Challenge

Operators of solar power systems face a range of challenges when it comes to connectivity. From real-time data transmission to the cloud for performance monitoring to secure remote access for managing and maintaining inverters and on-site systems, reliable connectivity is crucial. Additionally, modern solar installations often require integration of multiple inverters at a single location, IoT connectivity for auxiliary devices like power switches, and third-party access for control by energy providers.

nets360 provides a universal 4G/5G IoT connectivity solution designed to meet these demands. Our service ensures secure and uninterrupted data transfer, enabling seamless cloud integration and remote monitoring of all components, including inverters and auxiliary systems. By simplifying the network infrastructure management, we allow operators to connect diverse systems under a unified, scalable solution.
