Clever Dx – Health Sensor: Innovation and Efficiency for Large Solar Portfolios
Clever Solar Devices continues to set the standard in the solar industry with its latest advancement, the Clever Dx - Health Sensor, an innovative tool that revolutionizes both the financial management and technical monitoring of large solar portfolios. These new features bring operational efficiency and control over energy production to a new level of precision and agility.
Advanced Control Panel for More Efficient Financial Management
From a business perspective, Clever Dx has launched a new control panel designed to manage large solar portfolios with greater agility and analytical capacity. The panel allows financial managers to rank installations by key criteria such as production efficiency and performance ratio (PR), among other variables that determine the operational status of each plant.
The main advantage of this system is that, at a glance, users can clearly see which installations are performing best and which require attention. It also provides the ability to dive into the details of each plant, offering historical and comparative data to evaluate current performance against previous years. This not only facilitates more informed decision-making but also optimizes the operational and financial strategy of the portfolios.
High-Precision Technical Solutions
On the technical front, Clever Dx - Health Sensor stands out for its comprehensive monitoring capabilities. By installing just one sensor per string, operations and maintenance teams can quickly detect issues in large-scale (utility) installations. These sensors allow the identification of deviations in inverters, such as capacity losses or MPPT deviations, as well as problems related to backfeeding between strings, module shading, real-time IV curves, and failures in solar trackers—all without needing to disconnect the installation.
This exhaustive diagnostic capability extends from the module level to an entire fleet of solar plants, providing a comprehensive view that improves operational efficiency and equipment lifespan. Additionally, the integration of real-time IV curves without interruptions is a crucial advancement, allowing performance auditing and optimization at any point in the energy production chain.
Recognition for Excellence in Maintenance
Clever Solar Devices has also launched an innovative initiative aimed at recognizing the work of technicians who ensure the optimal operation of installations. Through a new mobile app-based tracking system, technicians can follow detailed steps to guarantee a high level of energy production efficiency. Those who meet the highest standards will receive a Recognition Diploma, certifying their contribution to maintaining a portfolio of always-productive and efficient installations.
The new features of Clever Dx - Health Sensor not only improve the financial and technical management of solar installations but also recognize and promote excellence in operations and maintenance. This ensures a more efficient and sustainable future for the renewable energy sector. With this level of innovation, Clever Solar Devices solidifies its position as a leader in the transition to Solar 4.0.
