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
