OUR KEY PRODUCTS ARE

ETi-LOG – a datalogger specifically designed to acquire data from Solar PV equipments, which has been tested by all Inverter brands. ETi-SOL – Cloud based monitoring platform that provides you data from all equipment in the plant and gives you comprehensive insights about plant performance. You can monitor multiple plants using one login ETi-CONNECT – is the analytics engine which can be used to compare equipment /plant performance & do lots of trend analysis.

One of the problems we see in the PV industry is that very large utility plants >100MW are hesitant to migrate from legacy PLC based SCADA systems to IOT based SCADA. Our ambitious goal is to get deploy our monitoring solution in large solar parks & prove to industry that IOT – Cloud SCADA is low cost – reliable solution and its time to switch from legacy PLC.
