Greetings, 

I hope that you may be of help to me.

I am researching the availability of a sensor network
to evaluate performance and efficiencies of installed
Photovoltaic Electrical Generating installations.

In my employment we install Photovoltaic arrays for
generating Electricity for residential and commercial
use.

My thought is to broadcast a digital stream of
information including voltage and amperage readings,
to a web-based network center location, and compile,
process, and evaluate the information. What I
in-vision is a graphical representation of power
output and efficiencies for individual and collective
systems throughout a wide area (100 to 200 sq. miles).
Our customers can log into a website and obtain their
systems performance along with the ability to see the
performances of all our systems connected to this
service.

I'm not entirely clear on how this system can be
designed. I understand that a micro-controler may be a primary ingrediant to this type of system. 

If you could help me or provide me with assistance in
finding someone that could help me in my pursuit it
would be greatly appreciated. 

Tim, Hutchinson, MN
