September's Sunny Skies Make Perfect Day for Solar Calibrations
From Sept. 21 to 27, groups of scientists and engineers from around the globe gathered at NREL's Solar Radiation Research Laboratory (SRRL) on the top of South Table Mountain in Golden, Colorado, for the 24th NREL Pyrheliometer Comparisons (NPC).
Insights from Data
Solar and storage plants aren't one machine; they're actually decentralized, interconnected ecosystems. Rows of solar panels capture sunlight and generate electricity, while BESS systems store that energy in rows of batteries packed together.
Measuring Solar Access Value (SAV) & Total Solar Resource Fraction (TSRF) With Accuracy
Are you wondering how you're supposed to measure Solar Access Value (SAV) and Total Solar Resource Fraction (TSRF) with accuracy? Or maybe you're wondering if accuracy even matters?
Shading Analysis: How To Do It And Get It Right
If you put ten different people up on the same roof with the same handheld shading analysis device or behind the controls of a do-it-yourself (DIY) software platform, you'll most likely end up with ten different results.
A Trip to the Swiss Village Where the World Calibrates Its Solar Monitoring Instruments
Measuring the energy of the sun precisely is not as easy as tracking distances or weight. To set an international standard for solar monitoring instruments radiometers, the World Radiation Centre holds comparison events that result in the World Radiometric Reference.
Ai-driven Home Solar and Usage Monitoring
On the sales side, showing customers how a home consumes electricity and how their bill is derived - and then how the proposed solar array would help solve their electric bill concerns - makes solar tangible.
Solar Plant Production Verification and Error Detection
Using Solar-Log® monitoring, the SunPeak Operations & Maintenance team can track solar plant energy production metrics as well as data from the installed Lufft pyranometer to ensure that the system is running free and clear of errors.
Solar Energy Production Shines Brighter With Data Analysis Tools

Many people understandably want clear ideas of the expected results before and after installation. Data analysis tools can provide that, removing much of the uncertainty that may cause customers to delay their solar energy investments.
Increasing the Efficiency of Solar Power - Power Resistors Are a Key Solar Component
Solar PV systems aren't consistently efficient, with many hardly surpassing 20 per cent efficiency. Increasing the capability of solar PV systems is essential if we're to incorporate more solar energy into the grid.
Tigo's Integrated Optimizers in Residential Solar
With Tigo's TS4-A-O (Optimization Add-ons) units, the system complies with California's mandated NEC 2017 rapid shutdown requirements. This customer also has module-level monitoring with full visibility into his system via Tigo SMART Website & App.
Using Aerial Imagery for Roof Measurements and Shading Analysis
Compared to the average cost of just one site visit and one change order - which, conservatively, can total $500 or more - an EagleView Inform™ report returns more than five times the investment in cost savings for a project.
SenseHawk Benchmarks the Condition of One of the World's Largest Solar Sites in Record Time
Combines Drones, Thermography and Its SenseHawk Therm AI-Powered Software to Analyze the Solar Modules of the 2,500-Acre Kamuthi Solar Power Project
How AM Software Can Help You Consolidate Your Monitoring System Data
There are a lot of questions about the difference between a monitoring system and renewable asset management (AM) software. Specifically, if AM software provides similar functionalities as a monitoring system and when to start using asset management software.
