Estabanell launches the second edition of its energy startup acceleration program, reinforcing its commitment to innovation. Clever Solar Devices participated in the first edition and is currently collaborating with Estabanell on a proof of concept to optimize photovoltaic maintenance. Applications are open until April 14, offering funding, mentorship, and the opportunity to test solutions in a real-world environment.

Clever Solar Devices: Photovoltaics 4.0

Photovoltaics 4.0: Clever Solar offers a compact, plug-and-play device for solar monitoring:

In a world where energy transition and sustainability are more critical than ever, Clever Solar Devices has emerged as an innovative solution to enhance efficiency and safety in photovoltaic plant maintenance. Its real-time photovoltaic module diagnostic technology is revolutionizing the solar industry’s Operation and Maintenance (O&M) sector.

The Spanish startup that has invented a ‘credit card’ to predict solar panel failures.

Clever Solar device: as small as a credit card

One of the essential routines in solar plant maintenance is inspecting the facilities to ensure they operate correctly. This procedure is carried out manually and, in addition to accounting for 70% of operational costs, exposes technicians to risks associated with high voltages, extreme temperatures, and challenging terrain.

I was surprised at how outdated the operation and maintenance process in photovoltaics was,” explains Bhishma Hernández.
