ZERODEFECT4PV

Advanced Panel-Level Monitoring and Predictive Maintenance for Optimized Solar Plant Efficiency

Current solar power plants face challenges due to string-based monitoring systems, often overlooking critical panel-level defects. Existing monitoring methods limit precise defect identification, resulting in compromised data integrity and inefficient power output predictions. ZERODEFECT4PV offers a streamlined approach with prototype sensors, named Data Collection Units (DCUs), deployed on individual panels or clusters and linked via a mesh network for optimal panel-level monitoring. This masterslave architecture ensures seamless data transfer to the Energy Operations Center (EOC) and other analytic and storage components. Features, including a mathematical “toolbox”, address data inconsistencies, promoting accurate forecasting. These innovations culminate in an assistant system designed to guide operators through large data volumes, offering actionable KPI-driven insights within the EOC environment.
