Information

We offer world-class, inventive products for solar resource monitoring and assessment, solar forecasting, soiling analysis and cloud detection. The Fulcrum3D solar monitoring system is based around the DataVOLT high speed data logger platform and includes two pyranometers, temperature/humidity sensor, and GPS receiver all as standard equipment. Parameters can be set to measure long-term averages for resource assessment, as well as rapid measurement changes to understand system dynamics such as cloud edge effects. Accurate solar power measurement and data delivery are essential in assessing, financing and operating solar energy projects. - Accurately measure solar resources on site to reduce uncertainty inherent in computer models (e.g. Pvsyst) - Improve financing by reducing uncertainty in yield calculations - Reduce risk to equity in highly geared projects which result from errors in resource estimates
Fulcrum3DFulcrum3D provide wind and solar resource monitoring solutions and data management technology. Clients: Rio Tinto, FMG, AngloGold, Goldfields, Vestas, Juwi, Aggreko Fulcrum3D have supported bankable resource monitoring campaigns for over 10 years and currently monitor over 7GW of wind and solar globally.  The company has seen the mining sector’s interest in these technologies grow exponentially in the past few years — in fact, the mining segment was a primary avenue of growth for Fulcrum3D last year.   In the past year, the company has deployed a combination of wind and solar monitoring stations to over 20 mining sites in Western Australia (WA) alone, and expect this growth to accelerate further in the years to come.
