USING TRIDIUM NIAGARA FRAMEWORK

13. Solarsa: Systems Integration and
Interoperability
Tridium Niagara Framework development and
reseller:
Internet‐enabled equipment systems
Device to enterprise applications
Niagara resolves the challenges associated with open
systems, integration and interoperability by integrating
diverse systems and devices - regardless of manufacturer,
or communication protocol - into a unified platform that can
be easily managed and controlled in real-time over the
Internet.

14. Solarsa: Tridium Reseller/Developer
Manufacturers
adopt the Niagara System integrators use Niagara
Framework products to provide true open
technology to move solutions without regard for specific
their products to the protocols, products or technologies
web, reduce
development time, End users receive multiple
migrate legacy paybacks in the form of
systems, develop performance efficiencies,
new service reduced capital and operational
offerings, and open expenses, and greater returns
up new markets

15. Derbigum Roof Solutions
Derbisolar® combines the proven
watertight longevity of smooth white
surfaced APP modified bitumen with
the power generating performance of
amorphous thin film photovoltaic cells.
20 year guaranteed performance
