We now support inverters by Growatt. We've seen a lot of different makes of inverter and we were immediately impressed with the exceptional build quality of Growatt inverters. The many years they spent on R&D before realeasing their product has really paid off. Although they are relatively new to the market, they have already been very successful in Europe, Asia, Australia and now the US. More information on our Growatt support is available here: products/supportedinverters/Growatt.aspx.

We are proud to announce the release of a new version of our Commercial Universal Acquisition Agent. This new agent includes several enhancements and additions to our earlier model, including:
- a larger enclosure (still NEMA 4 and conduit-ready) leaves a lot more room to wire power and communications connections
- a stronger enclosure is more secure than the previous model and includes a option for a lockable clasp
- the clamshell design of the enclosure makes wiring access much easier and hides the display for greater security
- dedicated power+communications terminal specifically for use with WattMetrics weather stations - no power injector necessary
- more USB ports
These changes and more are a direct result of our field experiences to date and some great customer feedback. Keep it coming!

As of this July, we have completed our integration with Massachussetts' production tracking/SREC system. When registering a new MassCEC PTS system via the MassCEC PTS portal, installers can now select WattMetrics as the reporting agent.
Once a system id is available from the PTS, all the installer has to do is enter that id into the WattMetrics project portal (as shown below). That's it. Once that's done, we will automatically report production data from our system to MassCEC PTS. This service is available free of charge to all WattMetrics projects in Massachussetts. For more information on MassCEC, please visit www.masscec.com and www.masscec-pts.com.
