🔍 What Is EcoWatch?

EcoWatch is a web-based dashboard application built with Next.js, offering a sleek, responsive, and high-performance interface. It enables power operators, grid engineers, and infrastructure managers to:

• Monitor smart grid performance in real time
• Analyze system health and energy distribution
• Track renewable energy contributions
• Set up alerts and performance thresholds
• Optimize energy usage patterns with data-driven insights

EcoWatch is not just a proof of concept—it’s a glimpse into the future of clean energy innovation in Nigeria.

💡 Why We Built It

Nigeria faces persistent energy challenges: unreliable supply, poor grid monitoring, and underutilization of renewable sources. While the government and private sector are making strides, a lack of digital monitoring tools slows progress.

EcoWatch aims to bridge that gap by:

• Demonstrating digital innovation in the clean energy space
• Showing how modern web technologies (like Next.js and cloud-based APIs) can power critical infrastructure
• Creating a foundation for scalable monitoring solutions for both small-scale solar deployments and large grid networks

⚙️ Key Features

• ✅ Real-Time Metrics: View load, uptime, and voltage data at a glance
• 📊 Graphical Insights: Interactive charts and performance summaries
• 🔐 Cloud-First Design: Scalable and accessible from any device
• 🌦️ Eco-Oriented Visuals: A UI that reflects the goal—clean and green
• 🔁 Expandable Modules: Future-ready for AI, automation, or IoT integrations

🌐 Built with Modern Tech

• Frontend: Next.js (React-based framework for high-performance UIs)
• Cloud-ready: Easy to deploy on platforms like Vercel
• Modular Design: Built for future integration with smart meters, sensors, or AI-based prediction systems

📈 Who Should Use EcoWatch?

• Independent Power Producers (IPPs)
• Solar and hybrid energy firms
• Government agencies and regulators
• Research institutions focused on energy tech
• NGOs or startups working on climate and energy innovation

🔗 What’s Next?

EcoWatch is currently a demo application, but it serves as the foundation for a full-scale digital product tailored to clean energy operators in Africa. Future updates will include:

• API integration with live data sources
• Mobile access and offline reporting
• AI-powered analytics for predictive maintenance
• Custom dashboards for multi-site monitoring
