IoT Connectivity for Solar Panels

Q: Is LTE/5G connectivity secure enough for solar system data?

Yes. Our connectivity uses LTE/5G over VPN with end-to-end encryption, which protects critical performance data (voltage, current, output, diagnostics) in transit.

Q: What are your data plans for solar panels?

We offer custom data plans based on the number of connected devices, data usage, and location. You only pay for the connectivity you actually need, without unnecessary costs or hidden fees.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are answers to the common questions solar operators and integrators ask about connectivity, reliability, and deployment with POND IoT.

Do you provide connectivity in rural areas?

Yes. For rural or off-grid solar sites where cellular coverage is limited or unavailable, POND IoT provides Satellite Connectivity Solutions that keep systems online and transmitting data at all times. In areas with partial coverage, our Multi-Carrier (Multi-IMSI) SIMs automatically switch across networks to maintain seamless connectivity and ensure uninterrupted data reporting.

Is LTE/5G connectivity secure enough for solar system data?

Yes. Our connectivity uses LTE/5G over VPN with end-to-end encryption, which protects critical performance data (voltage, current, output, diagnostics) in transit.

Do I need new hardware to connect my solar systems with POND IoT? In most cases, no. If your existing solar controllers or inverters already support SIM cards, you can simply insert our Multi-Carrier SIM to get connected.

Can your connectivity scale for multiple solar sites?

Absolutely. Whether you manage one rooftop installation or a large solar farm, POND IoT connectivity scales easily. You can add new sites and devices without reconfiguring your network, keeping all monitoring unified and online.

What are your data plans for solar panels?

We offer custom data plans based on the number of connected devices, data usage, and location. You only pay for the connectivity you actually need, without unnecessary costs or hidden fees.

Do you provide coverage outside the U.S.?

Yes. POND IoT’s Multi-Carrier (Multi-IMSI) SIMs work across all major U.S. networks and connect to over 800 partner networks in more than 200 countries. This ensures your solar systems remain connected, whether deployed locally or internationally.
