GEC off-grid solar control

GEC aims to disrupt the off-grid solar systems market: the price of PV and batteries is strongly decreasing and the off-grid solutions are now affordable. With GEC they are also extreamly easy, immediate, reliable, on the cloud.

The off-grid solar systems allow to supply electric power in the areas where the utility grid is absent, by producing solar energy, storing it in a battery, and using it for supplying the loads. Nowadays the price of PV and batteries is strongly decreasing, and the off-grid systems are becoming more and more convenient, and a market boom of off-grid solutions is expected in the next years. However, the off-grid systems are affected by two problems: the dependency on the weather conditions, and the difficulty of control and communication ( because they are usually installed in remote areas).

The GEC solution solve all these problems in the most modern way, by means of the latest cutting edge technology: internet of things, cloud approach, energy forecasts, machine learning.

At this purpose, GEC provides an hardware/software framework for building any kind of application: monitoring stations, remote webcams, road facilities, transmission systems, alarm solutions.

GEC brings your off-grid solar system into the future: just connect a GECbox to your solar off-grid system, switch it ON and wait one minute: OK, you got the Internet Of Things! Your off-grid system is far from you, but you have it on your PC, smartphone or tablet, and your machines can M2M with the solar system and the supplied devices with the power of the Web Services.

The GEC platform is extremely convenient compared to a generic control platform:
- immediate availability of exclusive features: solar forecasts, solar energy manager, diagnostic features, total remote configuration and control.
- total cloud approach: web portal, smartphone app, customizable/brandizable cloud portal, API and web-services for M2M applications.
- Plug-and play all-in-one hardware: You do not need to program a PLC, or to integrate a system, and you do not need additional hardware! A GECbox embeds MPPT, GPRS modem, datalogger, logic controller, Modbus master and more, everything already pre-configured and ready to start.


You can now choose the off-grid solar solution for a lot of new applications.
