Problem
Monitoring the performance of photovoltaic (PV) plants, ranging from residential to large-scale solar parks, can be complex and costly, often requiring additional irradiation sensors and specialized expertise. Existing solutions may lack the ability to integrate diverse equipment, provide advanced analytics, or offer remote management capabilities for distribution system operators (DSOs).
Solution
Inion LT provides a comprehensive hardware and software platform for PV plant monitoring and management, designed to optimize electricity generation and enhance energy efficiency. The Inion system utilizes a range of SolarOne loggers to collect data from various devices, supporting multiple communication protocols such as Ethernet, Modbus TCP/IP, and RS485 RTU. This data is then transmitted to Inion's cloud-based IoT servers, where powerful AI algorithms analyze and estimate PV plant performance, detecting low performance and faults without relying on additional irradiation sensors. The Inview software suite offers real-time monitoring through a web browser, advanced alarming and reporting, and remote feed-in management for DSOs, enabling users to track performance, manage faults, and control PV plant operations effectively.
Target Audience
Inion LT's solutions target a diverse range of customers, including residential PV plant owners, PV plant installers, PV park developers and investors, operation and maintenance companies, and distribution system operators (DSOs).
