Monitoring:

All PV installations are monitored for system faults by our team on a weekly basis. Monitoring is provided at no additional cost to the customer for a period of 25 years from the date of system commissioning. New Prairie Construction is not responsible for the data connectivity beyond the system gateway, or other data connections provided by the homeowner or the Internet Service Provider. Connectivity-based service work is done at NPCC’s sole discretion and may be charged at NPCC’s standard extra rate of $55 per hour with a minimum charge of $150.

System fault monitoring is a service provided by NPCC, and can be terminated at NPCC’s sole discretion for the following reasons: Monitoring capability is no longer provided by the solar inverter manufacturer or is converted to a paid service. The system owner becomes unresponsive to our inquiries or attempts to communicate for a period of 90 days. System property owner changes, and contact information is not updated with NPCC.
