Solar power is taking a step closer to the mainstream after SunPower teamed up with AT&T to use Internet of Things (IoT) technology to monitor its Equinox solar PV system, which launched last month. The partnership will allow customers in North America and Europe to track their energy usage through an app on their smartphones. Mike Troiano, vice president of Internet of Things at AT&T said in a statement: “Connectivity is changing how companies operate. We're thrilled SunPower chose us to give them near real-time insights into how their solar energy solutions are performing for their customers and the tools to help manage them remotely.”
