associated with traditional in-field monitoring installations.
“Through our partnership with AE Solar Energy we provide a North
American based solution that allows us to expand our offerings for
project developers we have worked with in the past,” said Ben
Compton, chief operating officer and VP of commercial operations,
meteocontrol. “We look forward to helping our customers streamline

at installation and seamless ongoing system management with
monitoring software providers. Combined with the company’s
SiteGuard field services, commercial PV customers receive a
complete solar-plant management solution that is backed by AE’s
strong balance sheet and global scale.
