Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for collecting, aggregating, and analyzing data associated with the installation and deployment of systems. Energy systems, (500) specifically renewable energy generation systems, are used as examples. The aggregated data serve as the basis for a variety of services that improve the system performance, improve the installation, lower the cost, and provide monitoring and service to maintain optimum performance. Finally, services are provided that facilitate the optimization of responses to poor system performance based on criticality of the failure, servicing of the system by a Certified VAR, or other prioritization method.

Abstract: Distributed asset management may be achieved as described herein by representing within a computer database system a collection of distributed assets, and logging within the computer database system time-series data sent from different ones of the distributed assets. Input from authorized users is accepted and stored in the form of tags, each tag being associated with an asset or group of assets. Access is provided to the time-series data or data derived therefrom, and to the tags, by the authorized users. By providing tagging capabilities, diverse requirements of different audiences are supported, and a system can be created wherein the different needs and interests of the audiences are satisfied in such a way as to produce a multiplying beneficial effect. At the same time, complexities are minimized that would otherwise be introduced in order support different taxonomies within a changing heterogeneous environment.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for collecting, aggregating, and analyzing data associated with the installation and deployment of systems. Energy systems, (300) specifically renewable energy generation systems, are used as examples. The aggregated data serve as the basis for a variety of services that facilitate the adoption and deployment of these systems. Services are provided that aid in the modeling and establishment of improved System Performance Guarantee commitments. Additionally, services are provided that improve the system performance, improve the installation, lower the cost, and provide monitoring and service to maintain improved performance.
