Microgeneration

Purpose of this module

The Microgeneration module within NZC Portal is designed to support landlords, property owners, and asset managers in monitoring and managing on-site renewable energy generation across property portfolios.

The module provides clear visibility of generation performance, self-consumption, and contribution to carbon reduction at asset and portfolio level.

What this module supports

This module enables users to:

• Monitor on-site renewable energy generation performance
• Understand self-consumption and export of generated energy
• Quantify carbon savings associated with microgeneration assets
• Compare performance across buildings and portfolios

Key inputs

The module typically draws on:

• Generation data from solar PV and other on-site renewable systems
• Energy consumption data for self-consumption analysis
• Asset and system characteristics such as capacity and commissioning date
• Tariff and configuration data where relevant

Inputs can be integrated, uploaded, or managed manually depending on system setup.

Key outputs

The module produces clear, decision-ready outputs, including:

• Asset and portfolio-level generation dashboards
• Self-consumption and export summaries
• Carbon offset and contribution metrics
• Performance comparisons across assets
• Exportable summaries for reporting and governance purposes

Outputs can be viewed at building, site, or portfolio level.

How this module is used in practice

Typical use cases include:

• Monitoring performance of installed renewable systems
• Demonstrating contribution to Net Zero targets
• Supporting investment and expansion of on-site generation
• Reporting on renewable energy performance to stakeholders

How this module fits within NZC Portal

The Microgeneration module integrates with energy management, carbon reporting, and NZC assessment modules within NZC Portal.

This ensures:

• Alignment between generation performance and carbon metrics
• Consistent treatment of renewable energy across reporting outputs
• Clear traceability from system performance to portfolio summaries
