RENEWABLE ENERGY SYSTEM MAINTENANCE BUSINESS MODEL
First Claim
1. A renewable energy system maintenance model for a working procedure or computer program, comprising:
- collecting system data from renewable energy system installation monitors;
separating data streams by client or account, and further separating data substreams by system component; and
comparing data received to at least one of standards, averages, histories, projections, targets, to detect if such data readings indicate an out-of-bounds condition.

Abstract
A renewable energy system maintenance method comprises network server based system for monitoring and repairing, for example, a solar power installation. Such comprises solar panels to convert sunlight to DC electricity, one or more inverters to convert the DC to AC electricity, and a metered utility connection for selling to or offsetting energy charges for AC electricity from an electric utility. A monitor with sensors and connections to the inverter provides system operation measurements and data through a wireless or wired connection the Internet. A centralized server collects measurements and data from many solar installation monitors and analyzes the inputs to provide useful information to the users and their systems integrator and third parties. In particular, such information is employed in several ways to conduct various parts of a solar energy business.
