rMeter.com - About Us

rMeter™ Information

rMeter™ is a product of Bridgeover, Inc.

rMeter™ was begun because of the need for information to support our solar powered uninterruptible power supply that provides approximately 20 hours of reserve power to our eight web servers, as well as contributing to daily energy needs. At about the same time we got involved in the Solarquest Galapagos and ElectroRoof projects, each with energy monitoring needs. rMeter™ was originally designed and developed to meet these needs.

Our mission is to increase energy awareness, and thereby decrease the waste of this life necessity. We also recognize the problems with carbon based energy sources and promote the transition to solar.
