Environment Monitoring
A solar plant’s performance can only be understood against the conditions it is operating in. PES supplies and integrates weather monitoring sensors irradiance, ambient and module temperature, wind speed and direction purpose-built for PV plant performance monitoring. These sensors integrate seamlessly with major inverter and SCADA platforms, turning raw environmental data into accurate yield analysis and reliable plant diagnostics, so underperformance is identified as a fault rather than dismissed as weather.
What we deliver
Irradiance Measurement
Accurate irradiance sensing is the reference point for every performance calculation on a PV plant. Without it, actual generation cannot be measured against expected generation and there is no reliable way to separate a genuine equipment fault from a simple change in conditions.
Module & Ambient Temperature
Module and ambient temperature sensing captures the thermal conditions that directly affect panel output. Temperature-corrected performance analysis distinguishes normal warm-weather derating from actual degradation, giving a far more accurate picture of how the array is genuinely performing.
Wind Speed & Direction
Wind measurement supports both performance analysis and plant safety, informing module cooling effects and providing the data behind tracker stow decisions. It also contributes to the site conditions record that underpins long-term yield assessment and warranty discussions.
Inverter & SCADA Integration
Sensors integrate seamlessly with major inverter and SCADA/monitoring platforms, so environmental data lands in the same system operators already use. No parallel monitoring tool, no manual correlation environmental and generation data sit side by side where decisions are actually made.
Yield Analysis & Plant Diagnostics
With reliable environmental data in place, expected yield can be calculated and compared against actual output continuously. Persistent gaps point to specific issues soiling, shading, string faults, inverter underperformance turning monitoring from passive reporting into practical diagnostics.
Forecasting & Predictive Performance
Working with forecasting technology partners, PES extends monitoring into solar irradiance and power forecasting supporting predictive performance assessment and grid stability for plants where generation must be planned and declared in advance.
