PV MANAGER - Monitoring Solar Home System Distribution

In order to provide energy services to remote villages, away from development areas and far from the grid, many national and international programs are now emerging providing poor households with standalone solutions such as Solar Home Systems (SHS) to overcome the lack of access to an energy service . Moreover, the private solar market is also growing steadily from local actors, particularly from private companies. The needs for managing kits distribution and customers is particularly strategic. PV Manager© was developed then to help managers supervising SHS sales and installation. The software therefore allows private or public facilities, to monitor equipment deployed but also to assess the financial performance in case of regular repayments from customers.

Through its user-friendly interface and simple, PV Manager is available to any managers without requiring special training. It allows:

¨  Record purchases and customer installations

¨  Master operational costs and income flows

¨  Improve service quality

¨  Identify default payments and debts

¨  Increase company profitability using an efficient management system

The tool for monitoring Solar Home Systems distribution, accounting and customer management
