60Hertz x Texture Partnership: Solar Monitoring & Maintenance Made Simple

Infrastructure managers face a dual challenge: maintaining real-time visibility into their operations while securely sharing that information across organizational boundaries. The new partnership between 60Hertz and Texture directly addresses these challenges with an integrated solution that combines comprehensive monitoring capabilities with secure cross-organizational collaboration.

#The Challenge: Modern Energy Management's Dual Burden

Solar and battery installers today face a two-fold challenge that intensifies as their fleets expand:

#1. Operational Visibility and Response

• Delayed Insights: When data takes minutes or hours to process, teams operate reactively, discovering issues only after they've impacted customers
• Monitoring Complexity: With information spread across 5+ disconnected systems, each with unique formats and interfaces, creating a complete operational picture becomes nearly impossible
• Resource Inefficiency: Data professionals spend up to 80% of their time simply cleaning and organizing information rather than extracting value

#2. Cross-Organizational Coordination

• Maintenance Management: Scheduling work orders, dispatching field technicians, and tracking maintenance across distributed assets creates logistical bottlenecks
• Siloed Information: Barriers between internal teams, contractors, and customers lead to duplicated efforts and inefficient collaboration
• Security Concerns: Sharing system data with the right stakeholders while maintaining appropriate access controls presents ongoing challenges

Until now, installers have cobbled together partial solutions, creating fragmented workflows and missed optimization opportunities.

#Introducing the 60Hertz x Texture Solution

This partnership brings together two purpose-built platforms to create a seamless experience for renewable energy professionals:

#Texture: Real-Time Monitoring and Data Harmonization

Texture transforms how installers monitor their DER fleets by providing:

• Real-Time Visibility: Monitor assets with up-to-the-second data, delivering:

  • 30-50% reduction in equipment downtime
  • Up to 99% faster anomaly detection
  • 62% higher revenue growth for companies leveraging real-time operational data

• Universal Connectivity: Seamless connection to over 500 DER types through a standardized integration layer:

  • Unified data framework that harmonizes information from Tesla, Enphase, SolarEdge, Franklin and other OEM systems
  • Cloud-to-cloud integrations that eliminate manual data transfers

• Data Harmonization: Unification of disparate sources into a coherent site model:

  • Site-based organization mirroring physical and operational realities
  • Comprehensive coverage across batteries, solar inverters, weather data, and emissions systems
  • Site-specific and aggregated reporting on energy network performance

• Secure Data Sharing: Enable controlled information sharing across organizational boundaries:

  • Granular permission controls defining exactly what different users can access
  • PII protection options when sharing with third parties
  • Simple email-based invitation process with explicit consent workflows

#60Hertz: Purpose-Built O&M for Renewable Energy

60Hertz delivers the industry's leading Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) specifically designed for renewable energy operations, with AI-powered workflows optimized for solar, storage, and microgrid management.

#How the Integration Works

The integration creates a frictionless experience through a simple process:

1. Initial Registration: Installers sign up for 60Hertz's purpose-built O&M platform
2. Texture Integration: Users activate their Texture subscription with a simple sign-in
3. Device Configuration: DER devices connect to Texture with data streamed to 60Hertz
4. Workspace Creation: Teams create dedicated monitoring workspaces
5. Permission Configuration: Administrators set granular access controls
6. Collaborative Monitoring: All authorized users gain appropriate visibility
7. Alert Subscription: Teams receive customized notifications for anomalies
8. Trend Analysis: Monitor performance across site, customer, device, and network levels

#The Value Proposition: More Than the Sum of Its Parts

This integration delivers value that goes beyond what either platform could provide independently:

#For Operations Managers:

• Unified platform experience eliminating data silos and application switching
• Lower O&M costs through reduced truck rolls and optimized maintenance
• Enhanced fleet visibility with standardized data and reporting

#For Field Technicians:

• Streamlined workflows with all relevant information in a single interface
• Improved first-time fix rates with complete diagnostic information
• Reduced administrative burden with eliminated double data entry

#For Business Owners:

• Reduced downtime with up to 50% improvement through early anomaly detection
• Improved customer satisfaction through proactive problem resolution
• Scalable operations without proportional increases in overhead

#Transform Your Solar Service Business

#Getting Started

The integration process is designed for simplicity:

1. Current 60Hertz customers can activate Texture directly within their existing platform
2. New customers can contact 60Hertz to begin their journey
3. Dedicated onboarding specialists guide you through the setup process

#Implementation Timeline

Most installers see their first value within just 2 weeks, with complete implementation taking approximately 30 days:

• Week 1: Initial setup and account configuration
• Week 2: Device connection and data flow validation
• Week 3: User training and workspace customization
• Week 4: Full deployment and optimization

#What Sets This Partnership Apart

The Texture x 60Hertz partnership offers distinct advantages:

• Purpose-Built Integration: Designed from the ground up for seamless interoperability
• Renewable-Specific Architecture: Built exclusively for DER operations
• Cloud-Native Design: Enables rapid updates without on-premise maintenance
• Industry-Leading Connectivity: Over 500 device integrations for unmatched coverage

#The Future of Energy Infrastructure Management

For energy infrastructure operators looking to modernize their operations, this solution represents a significant leap forward by enabling:

• Faster response times to potential issues
• More effective preventive maintenance strategies
• Greater transparency across organizational boundaries
• Higher overall system reliability and performance
• Improved decision-making based on complete, real-time information

As the energy landscape continues to evolve—with increasing renewable integration, distributed resources, and complex grid interactions—solutions like this will become even more critical. Organizations that embrace real-time visibility and secure collaboration now will be better positioned to navigate these changes successfully.
