Net Zero Energy Home Monitoring

Online monitoring is now available for solar electric (PV) systems installed on EQuilibrium homes.  EQuilibrium, a national Sustainable Housing initiative led by CMHC, included 13 houses across Canada that were chosen for their cutting edge design, efficiency, and net zero energy consumption. Of these 13 homes across Canada, SkyFire Energy is proud to have designed and installed the solar PV systems on 3 of these, including the Laebon CHESS home, the Avalon Discovery 3 home in Red Deer, AB, as well as the EchoHaven home in Calgary, AB.

The real time as well as historical electrical output of these PV systems can be viewed at http://www.cmhc-schl.gc.ca/en/inpr/su/eqho/eqho_019.cfm. Monitoring is provided by Fat Spaniel (third party monitoring company) and Enphase Energy (inverter manufacturer).
