Energy monitoring - solar results to the web
rMeter™ is a product of Swenson Solar
rMeter™ was begun because of the need for information to support our solar powered
uninterruptible power supply that provides approximately 20 hours of reserve power to our
eight web servers, as well as contributing to daily energy needs. At about the same time
we got involved in the Solarquest Galapagos
and ElectroRoof projects,
each with energy monitoring needs. rMeter™ was originally designed and developed to meet these needs.
Our mission is to increase energy awareness, and thereby decrease the waste of this
life necessity. We also recognize the problems with carbon based energy sources
and promote the transition to solar.
