APIs, Integrations & Security in Solar Energy Software

As solar portfolios grow, they rarely live in isolation. Operators need to connect monitoring tools with maintenance systems, finance platforms and sometimes customer portals.

APIs and standard data formats make it easier to share information between tools without copy‑paste work. At the same time, they introduce new questions around access control, encryption and third‑party risk.

A simple rule is to treat integrations like any other critical asset: document them, review them regularly and give each system only the access it really needs.
