Our team guides you through setup, troubleshooting, and ongoing optimization, so you can get the most value from your solar assets without the frustration common with other platforms.

When you call NextWave, you’ll always reach a real person. NextWave’s support is staffed by experienced engineers and energy professionals based in the United States. Our team understands both the technology and the systems behind it, so when you call, you get direct, knowledgeable help — no automated responses or call centers.

NextWave hardware is designed for low maintenance, long-term use. Most hardware should not need more than a simple check during regular annual site maintenance. The exceptions to this are irradiance sensors, some of which require regular calibrations every 1-5 years, and UPS batteries, which require replacement depending on usage. Please contact NextWave Sales or Support for more information.

We work hard to make your job easy. The NextWave Energy Monitoring customer success team handles the majority of your solar monitoring system’s initial set up work, and will communicate with your team throughout the process to ensure it meets your operational needs. The amount of time required from the customer will vary depending on site and portfolio complexity, but is typically between 30-60 min per site.
