Today's solar customers are asking for whole-home energy solutions that help them maximize their solar investments. By providing greater insights and opportunities for savings with Sense Solar, providers can build lasting partnerships with their customers and grow their businesses.

To thrive in the dynamic solar marketplace, solar providers must stay on top of advances in technology. Through this partnership, Sense's innovative home energy monitor will be available to BayWa r.e.'s extensive distribution network. Sense Solar allows homeowners to track their solar power generation along with detailed, real-time information about their home electricity usage.

Said Sense VP Gabe Abbott: "Through this partnership, BayWa r.e. will bring Sense Solar to their extensive partner network in markets across the country. With BayWa r.e.'s comprehensive offerings, solar providers can assemble best-in-class solar solutions in a seamless buying experience.

Our partnership with Sense offers solar contractors a way to accurately match solar and storage capacity to individual customers' energy needs and lifestyles, creating greater system value for the end consumer."

Sense Solar tells solar customers exactly how much energy their solar installation is producing, how much the home is using, and how much is being sold back to the grid—continuously, in real time. At the same time, Sense users see their home's energy usage, right down to individual devices, so they can track, plan and budget realistically, taking full advantage of their solar investment. With Sense, customers instantly see the impact of reducing their energy use, helping improve satisfaction and opening the door for referrals to their providers.

Sense Solar is compatible with solar installations regardless of inverter or panel technology used. When combined with installation of advancedAC solar modules from LG Electronics, Sense goes further, seamlessly connecting to the LG EnerVu2 energy monitoring app to increase the functionality and performance of the on-board LG software solution, providing a powerful experience for solar providers and their customers.
