Kyocera’s MyGen Grid-Connected systems are photovoltaic (PV) power equipment packages designed specifically for residential applications. Each package is pre-engineered to optimize system performance and meet applicable NEC codes and requirements. All major PV system components, disconnects and grounding equipment are included providing everything for generating one’s own electricity.

Launched in January 2010, each MyGen system will now include one year of solar monitoring powered by Deck Monitoring for the customer as well as the installing integrator. The customer will be able to view the production of the system via a web portal, and the integrator will be able to provide superior service by gaining visibility into the production, performance, and efficiency of the system, the company claimed.

Michael Ludgate, director of business development and marketing for Kyocera Solar, said: “Deck’s feature-rich monitoring solution provides another proven component to the MyGen system. Customers want to know that their systems are working efficiently and exactly how much energy and carbon off-sets the system is producing in real time.

“The Deck online platform provides customers with an easy to understand monitoring device, and most importantly it provides solar installer with the ability to be alerted if a production issue should arise.”

As part of the integrated monitoring solution, MyGen system installers will be offered a password protected online Administration Panel that allows the solar integrator to monitor each customer’s MyGen System in real time, set custom alarms, keep maintenance notes on installations.
