What is Energy Monitoring?

 

Energy monitoring is the process of continuously tracking, measuring, and analyzing a property’s energy consumption. It involves a combination of hardware (energy meters with CT’s) and software (cloud services, apps, and dashboards) to collect real-time and historical data on energy usage. This data is then used to gain insights into how and when energy is being consumed, which can help property owners and managers make informed decisions to improve efficiency.

Red Pole Energy is the official South African agent of the popular IAmMeters brand of Wi-Fi energy meters used by professionals offering energy monitoring as a service, or individuals and businesses focused on monitoring, managing, and optimising their energy use.

 

What Are IAmMeters?

 

IAmMeter energy meters are advanced energy monitoring devices that provide real-time and historical insights into energy consumption.

Data is saved and organised in a dedicated cloud-based Energy Monitoring System, to which you connect the IAmMeter energy meters. Then you can track the electricity usage of your home or commercial building, and monitor the energy flow of a solar PV system.

Applications

Solar PV System Monitoring

Track energy generated, energy consumed and energy exported to the grid in a solar installation. This helps calculate savings and optimize self-consumption rate.

Residential / Commercial Energy Monitoring

Users can track their overall electricity consumption, calculate / check their electricity bills, and identify opportunities to save energy. The same data can be used to plan and scope a solar pv system.

Commercial and Industrial Monitoring

For businesses with multiple locations, such as chain stores, the system can provide centralized monitoring to track energy usage and identify inefficiencies across all branches. The meters can also be used to monitor electricity usage on a sub-distribution board.
