What are usage scenarios for solar PV monitoring?

Solar PV monitoring is an essential tool for anyone who uses solar power to generate energy. By monitoring the performance and efficiency of solar system, users can ensure that the solar system is operating at peak performance, while also tracking the financial returns and environmental impact.

Here are basic usage scenarios for solar PV monitoring.

Performance Monitoring: This function helps track the performance of solar PV systems multi-dimensionally. It allows users to view the real-time and historical data of the system, and optimize the system for max. efficiency.

Maintenance Monitoring: For O&M providers, maintenance monitoring is a daily tool to help detect faults and failures with solar PV systems. It enables users to quickly identify and address problems in an early-time manner, reducing the cost and risk.

Environmental Monitoring: Environmental data can help track the environmental impact of solar PV systems, such as carbon savings, energy production, and greenhouse gas emissions. It can help organizations track their sustainability goals and report on their environmental impact. Furthermore, SOLARMAN weather station provides a comprehensive environmental monitoring solution for users including irradiance, ambient temperature and humidity, wind direction and speed, and module temperature.

Financial Monitoring: Financial performance of solar PV systems is a key index for investors, such as the cost of installation, payback periods, return on investment (ROI), and profitability. It helps users make informed decisions about future investments.
