Pro Assistance – One Off
There are of course occasions where you need a bit of extra care. You may have a proposal with a deadline, but be stuck somewhere and need unblocking. Or you may have a complex bill that has got you stumped. We also can convert interval metering data into OpenSolar format for you. Or do all (or part of) a project.
Our ongoing support packages represent the best value. You may also consider Pro Training.
For personalised assistance on any individual project, we will diagnose what the problem is, and resolve it to the best of our abilities. Note we cannot fix bugs with OpenSolar software, but can often find workarounds that unblock your business.
In an ideal world Interval Metering Data (IMD) would be consistent, uniform, complete, and span a full year. The reality, is the opposite. SunWiz have years of experience in converting IMD into a range of formats, and can do so for your OpenSolar project.
