What is SolarTools?

SolarTools Energy Portal is an industrial data platform that aggregates, visualizes and acts on data from any IoT-capable device on the field. From PV plants to factory machinery, cold storage and cogeneration systems, it's built to monitor anything that can communicate.


SolarTools provides a scalable and reliable environment for managing industrial IoT data. The platform’s core capabilities include:


  • Data Integration: Collects data from different brands of gateways, analyzers, and sensors into a unified
  • Artificial Intelligence: Improves operational efficiency through production forecasting and predictive maintenance analytics.
  • Cost Management: Integrates with electricity market data to provide bill monitoring and savings projections.
  • Cloud-Based Infrastructure: Provides a reliable cloud infrastructure that eliminates hardware costs and maintenance overhead.

What does it do?

SolarTools solves three core problems at once:

  1. Data collection: Normalizes data from dozens of protocols including Modbus, OPC-UA, MQTT, REST API and DSO integrations into a single unified format.
  2. Visualization: Monitor your sites in real time with pre-built solution templates or custom drag-and-drop dashboards.
  3. Action & decision: Turn data into operational decisions with rule chains, alarms, scheduled reports and AI-driven forecasts.

Data Collection

Brings data from dozens of protocols into a common format.

Visualization

Monitor field status with ready-made templates or custom dashboards.

Action & Decision

Transform data into operational decisions with rule chains and AI.

Architecture at a glance

Field devices connect to the cloud through a gateway. Each gateway hosts connectors that collect data from different protocols and forward measurement points called tags to the platform. A typical data flow:

Who is it for?

The platform offers specialized tools for different disciplines of energy management.

  • PV plant operators — Teams monitoring inverters, strings, weather stations and energy meters across multiple sites.
  • Industrial facility managers — Factories tracking PLCs, flow meters and pressure sensors for OEE and energy usage.
  • Energy managers — Organizations optimizing cost through MCP/SMP and invoice analysis.
  • OEMs and EPCs — System integrators delivering white-label monitoring services to their customers.
