Case Study: PowerOwners achieves real-time, consistent solar performance benchmarking and remote management with Digi International

PowerOwners - Customer Case Study

PowerOwners launched Denowatts to solve a persistent industry problem: unlike many other fields, solar asset owners lacked a consistent, reliable benchmark to measure performance. Traditional weather stations and monitoring systems produced inconsistent data, making it difficult to know how arrays were truly performing and preventing effective performance management.

Denowatts delivers a subscription service built around the Deno Smart Sensor — a compact, self‑powered device that uses on‑device “fog” computing to simulate a real solar array and produce the Denowatt benchmark. Deno communicates via Digi XBee‑PRO 900HP to a Rabbit SBC gateway and Digi Remote Manager, enabling streamlined deployment, remote updates, and integration with existing monitoring platforms. The result: accurate, comparable performance metrics, easier asset management, and significant time and cost savings for clients.
