Photo Voltaic Solutions...

Gazprom Global Energy Solutions is a market leader in providing an end-to-end fully managed turnkey energy management solution for Photovoltaic (PV) systems.

The key driver for the installation of PV systems is the feed-in-tariff (FiT) which rewards the operator or consumer for generating electricity on site. GGES has now developed a range of monitoring solutions for PV systems and is fast becoming a market leading service provider for the Photovoltaic (PV) industry.


The ever increasing demand for PV monitoring has led to the development of a two part bespoke solution:
