Introduction
In the world of solar energy systems, real-time monitoring plays a critical role in optimizing performance and preventing potential issues. At IOTG SOLAR, we’ve integrated numerous advanced devices that track key metrics like voltage, temperature, incoming solar current, and energy output to various loads. While some clients prefer a hands-off approach, simply wanting their system to work without the need for detailed data, others value the control and insights that real-time monitoring provides. For these users, the more data we can gather, the more proactive we become in managing our systems. Monitoring aspects such as battery health and load behavior allows us to identify and address issues before they escalate, ensuring long-term efficiency and reliability.
In line with this, the Mopeka Sensor stands out as a game-changing tool for liquid level monitoring, adding another layer of insight into your off-grid or energy management setup. Mopeka® is a global leader in sonar-based tank monitoring solutions, offering award-winning and patented technology for accurate liquid level management. Their innovative portfolio supports a wide range of industries, including propane, water, butane, and more, with solutions for both pressurized and non-pressurized tanks. From small residential propane tanks to industrial-scale tanks of over 60,000 gallons, Mopeka ensures precise tracking with its advanced sonar, mobile, and cloud-based services. With a commitment to “Accuracy Above Everything,” Mopeka helps streamline supply chain management and optimize liquid monitoring for businesses around the world.
For users with advanced energy management systems, the Mopeka sensor offers seamless integration with the Victron Cerbo GX, a robust hub designed to consolidate data from multiple devices. By connecting the Mopeka sensor to the Victron system, users gain the ability to monitor their liquid levels remotely through the Victron VRM (Remote Management) platform. This setup ensures that you have complete visibility and control over your system, even when you’re off-site.
