Why a purpose-built time series database?

Time-stamped data is ingested, collected, and transformed by developers to trigger workflows or alerts. The data includes measurements or events that are tracked, monitored, downsampled, and aggregated over time.

Why InfluxDB for renewable energy?

Today’s energy consumers are seeking fossil fuel alternatives, turning their attention and demand to renewable, green energy sources like wind, solar, and biofuels. Traditional utilities are scrambling to provide renewable capacity on their own grids, and new companies, technology, and approaches to production and distribution are booming.

Sparking innovation

Organizations struggle to integrate new technologies, hire enough engineers, and effectively market new tools. It’s easy to lose track of the fundamentals—too many promising new renewable energy offerings end up as expensive experiments because developers fail to consider the real-time data streams from their assets, infrastructure, and software.

How InfluxDB can help

Whether you are building highly efficient solar panels, battery storage, or software to make it all work with the existing energy grid, you can use InfluxDB to capture, store, and analyze data from your devices, applications, and infrastructure. Gain visibility to enable a better customer experience.

Getting started

InfluxDB stores all of the data using a time series index, which means that the precise time is retained and used to organize, order, and analyze the metrics. Use InfluxDB to monitor assets in the field, optimize production, and exceed customer expectations.

“InfluxDB is helping Bboxx become a data-driven business. Instead of just selling boxes, we’ll soon be selling customers a pay-by-the-month plan. It’s the speed, reliability, and scalability of InfluxDB that enables us to move ahead with this more flexible and responsive plan.”
