Solar energy is crucial to combat climate change. In 30 years, 69% of the electricity supply to your home will be provided by Photovoltaics (PV). Their increased penetration in the electricity supply is going to affect the security and quality of the supply. To increase the reliability and ensure maximum energy output, a low-cost monitoring solution is required. At SOLEX, we are developing a proprietary, cost-effective non-intrusive sensor and data analysis method for the early detection of faults in PV systems without interrupting the operation of the system. The technology can detect faults much earlier than conventional technologies.
