Introduction Solar installation has increased by leaps and bounds over the years. These systems have helped us produce one of the most excellent sources of clean, safe and reliable energy. However, PV installations are subjected to extreme environmental conditions...
Prelude: Choosing the best monitoring system for your Solar PV assets – Inverter Bundled, Legacy SCADA builder applications versus a Built for Purpose Solar PV monitoring solution Remote monitoring, or how the industry loosely also calls it, SCADA (Supervisory...
Prelude: Why do you need monitoring for a Solar PV asset? Isn’t it a ZERO maintenance asset type? Over the years, the myth that solar needs no Monitoring or maintenance has been busted. Solar remote monitoring offers the highest...
Solar has seen a rapid growth in the past decade. Many big power companies have consciously invested in it due to increasing interest in clean energy and sustainable infrastructure. This has also enabled fast technology growth in the sector...
Introduction The efficiency of a PV plant depends on the performance of its modules. If a PV module degenerates, it impacts the overall generation of the plant as each module is electrically interdependent with other modules through string configuration....
430 quintillion Joules of energy from the sun hit the earth every hour. That’s more energy than the entire planet consumes in a year. With access to such an abundance of clean energy, a transition to solar energy is...
The solar market has grown in the double digits over the last few years. A study by Mercom showed that there was a 34% year-on-year growth in India’s solar power generation in Q1 – 2019. Falling tariffs and a...
Rooftop Solar PV Projections (India) Solar rooftops and distributed solar PV installations are gaining pace due to favourable policies, easier adoption and infusion of foreign investment. It has become critical for Project Developers to adopt a strategic approach to...
A solar plant is made up of a large number of electrical components and equipment. These components need to be monitored regularly as a simple malfunction and defect can lead to generation loss, thereby reducing profitability. Hence, it is...
Solar plant is an interactive system which works on a combination of hardware and software. It is very important to constantly maintain these systems for a smooth functioning of solar assets. To do so, an effective O&M is crucial,...
