Watch the performance and yield of a solar PV system and discover the possibilities of online monitoring with Solar Boulevard™
Solar Boulevard™What is Solar Boulevard™?Solar Boulevard™ is a total concept for monitoring of operational solar PV systems. Thanks to Solar Boulevard™ vendors of PV systems obtains the understanding of the daily performance of previously delivered and probably guaranteed installations. Simultaneously, buyers / owners of a solar PV system can receive with Solar Boulevard™ online information about the daily realized yield and energy and the return on their investment in new solar PV systems. Solar Boulevard™ sets a new standard in the monitoring of solar PV systems, through the continuous exchange of data between the local installation and the central computer platform. In this way, the supplier has a daily insight into the true energy output of each solar PV installation. On the basis of all collected measurements Solar Boulevard™ automatically computes daily the realized yield in relation with the weighted average of all notified system. The system vendor can see which systems perform substantially less than the weighted average. Solar Boulevard™ provides poorly performing systems of red flags indicating that something might be wrong. With the help of Solar Boulevard™, acute system failures can be recognized by the vendor within 1 day and it puts the vendor in a position to react adequately in order to prevent further loss. By collecting and presenting the proceeds of any solar PV system over longer periods obvious shortcomings as moderately functioning panels and / or strings are also detected. In parallel the owners of the individual PV installations have with Solar Boulevard™ the possibility to have always online insight information about the performance and revenues of their own PV-installation. How does Solar Boulevard™ work?Solar Boulevard™ is fully based on the exchange of data between the local kilowatt-responder unit and the central computer platform. Depending on the situation at the customer site, the responder unit transmits data through the GSM network or the Internet. System vendors have to connect a local responder unit to the PV installation in order to make it possible to collect and transmit data to the Solar Boulevard™ platform. Solar Boulevard™ is a so-called hosted service, therefore no special servers or software are required at the vendor premises. SolarCare will take care of the hosting and maintenance of the platform. The Solar Boulevard™ platform will be continuously refined and expanded with features. The functionality of Solar Boulevard™ suppliers is offered to vendors as a sub domain of their own company website. Through this sub domain of the own company website the purchasers of solar PV systems have access, using a dedicated login/password provided by the vendor, to the performance and yield statistics of their own plant. The unique benefits of Solar Boulevard™?Solar Boulevard™ provides vendors of solar PV systems a well thought concept in their overall relationship to the customer. Solar Boulevard™ is difficult to compare with other forms of monitoring because of the following characteristics: • Applicable to all types of installations |
