About Spar-Net

Spar-Net Interface

Spar-Net is Menova Energy's real-time tracking and monitoring system for a Power-Spar® installation.

This secure (i.e., password protected) interface allows users to log-in as either a general user or an administrator and gives the user upto the minute status reports for all aspects of the Power-Spar® system - including inlet and outlet temperatures in the collectors, outside and tank temperatures, and total energy collection (to mention a few). When logged in with the Administrator mode, the user can fine-tune the configuration of the Power-Spar® system.

Click the image on the right for a full-sized view of the interface, or click here to log-in to the Spar-Net system connected to the Power-Spar® system running at our offices in Ottawa. In the dialog that prompts for a username and password, please enter 'user' for both values. This link will open in a new window.
