The integration of Diaspark Energy's monitoring system with Itron's Transaction Management Service creates a plug-and-play solution for solar monitoring that reduces costs. This close integration allows solar meters configured by Itron to automatically register with Diaspark Energy upon installation without needing user intervention. Some benefits are immediate alerts if systems fail, simplified inventory management for installers, and energy production data collected every 15 minutes.

1. INTEGRATION OF DIASPARK ENERGY AND
ITRON TMS CREATES A PLUG-APLAY SOLUTION
Monitoring of solar systems is vital if the owner/O&M provider wants to get the energy production that they paid for. A
monitoring system should have the capability of showing production statistics and alerts in real time. This level of
monitoring will allow solar installations to operate on maximum efficiency.
A key feature of Diaspark Energy is the ability to connect with a variety of web services as well as directly to
monitoring gateways. Diaspark’s partnership with Itron highlights the benefits of this close integration that greatly
reduces the customer’s cost of installing a meter and monitoring the system in real time.
As shown in the figure, Itron configures each Solar Meter to communicate with its Transaction Management Service
(TMS) before shipping it to a customer. Upon installation the device automatically transmits a Diaspark Energy
registration message to Itron without requiring user intervention. This data is then relayed to Diaspark via web
service.
Some of the benefits of such a solution are:
 TMS configured to communicate with Diaspark Energy: No cost or setup
 Automatically provisioned by Itron: Simplified inventory management for the installer
 Immediate alerts sent: The Solar Meter sends immediate notification in case of system failure
 Revenue grade meter: The Itron Solar meter collects energy production data at 15 min intervals and transmits a block
once every 24hrs to Diaspark Energy via the TMS.
