With the ever increasing need to keep rising energy costs down, two exciting announcements in South Africa have changed the way we look at renewable energy.

  • Eskom's Solar Water Heating Programme. Eskom offers a rebate to consumers of hot water who can reduce energy consumption by implementing an intervention such as solar water heaters.
  • *Commercial applications require M&V

  • South African Government has introduced a tax incentive for companies that can prove energy efficiency savings.

One of the primary requirements for companies to benefit from these incentives is that they need to make use of independent Measurement and Verification (M&V) professionals. M&V is designed to quantify and assess the savings that result from projects in an impartial manner. Real Time has the advantage of having the software, hardware and firmware designed in house and under one roof, this allows us to provide unparalleled flexibility when it comes to customisation. Real Log is the system used for monitoring and controlling stationary out stations via telemetry, whether it be via GSM or RF.

Telemetry or remote monitoring and control, is the remote measurement and control or the remote collection of data. Telemetry is typically used to gather data from, or provide control to, distant, inaccessible locations, or when data collection or control would be dangerous or difficult for a variety of reasons.
