How to Install AC Module with Envoy Remote Monitoring Device for Single Phase

By now, we all know the benefits of installing an AC module. We, at Loom Solar are getting hundreds of queries from installers and consumers regarding the same, such as how can I install AC Module, how much solar power will be generated, how much money will I save, etc. AC module technology has come a few years ago, but solar industry leaders introduced this product in the utility scale projects where solar installation size starts from 10 kW. Many people are still not fully aware of this technology. But it is actually better than the traditional grid connected solar system.

 

Loom Solar has introduced Solar AC Module that is a substitute of traditional grid connected solar system (On grid solar system). This blog is for all those consumers who want to install an AC Module with Envoy Remote Monitoring Device. It is a Grid-tied solar system installation. This blog will also help installers who want to install Loom Solar AC Module with Envoy Remote. We have also installed AC Module in single phase where Net Meter was not installed. 

 

There are two steps for a consumer who wants to install Grid-connected solar system.

 

Step 1: Install AC Module with Envoy Remote Monitoring

Step 2: Apply for Net Meter

 

Let us learn more about Envoy Remote Monitoring Device and Net Meter.

Envoy Remote Monitoring Device

Envoy is a remote monitoring device for AC module. It is a must have in all systems with 1 kW capacity. Envoy has multiple benefits for a customer. It provides data on web browser and also on Mobile app about your home power consumption. It provides information such as power production from solar panels and power consumption in your home.

 

  • It does now allow Solar panels to produce more power than is required for your own consumption and ensures that no excess power is fed to the grid. 
  • It provides panel level power generation monitoring, so that you know how much power each of the solar panel is generating on a real time basis. 
  • In case of fault, there is no need to call service engineers. Your system fault can be taken care of remotely from Loom Solar corporate office itself.

Net Meter

Net meters are critical components in an on-grid solar power system. A customer will not be able to avail any credit without a net meter. Net Meter is just like Battery Bank. In foreign countries like the USA, the consumers store solar power into the grid during the day and use that solar power in the night.

never dream of losing him, I tried my best to make sure that my husband got back to me but all to no avail, I cried and cried seeking help. I discussed it with my best friend Alison and she told me she can help me. She told me of a man called Dr. Odunga, she told me he is a very great man and a real man that can be trusted and there is nothing concerning love and Pregnancy issues he cannot solve and she told me how he has helped her and countless number of people in

I just want to say Thank You to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I have been playing Powerball tickets for 6 years now since I turned 18. I bought my first ticket on my 18 birthday. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Dr. Odunga Michael to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream. I had won $768.4M. You can check my winning testimony with the lottery officials just with my name search. Thank you Dr Odunga. Well, his email is odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and you can also call or Whats-app him at +2348167159012 so you guys can contact him
