pv magazine Webinar | Slash Opex with smart monitoring systems

Maintaining full visibility of utility scale PV assets is an ongoing challenge for many asset owners, project developers, EPCs, and operations and maintenance (O&M) providers.
Dirty panels, hot spots, and faulty connections are just some examples of common problems that occur in large scale plants, leading to yield losses and higher opex and capex.

However, pinpointing these problems when they happen in the field can be done relatively quickly and easily using smart string monitoring systems.

Join us for this pv magazine Webinar where we will explore how to future-proof PV plants with scalable, smart infrastructure designed for real-world utility challenges.

Markus Priester, key account manager for photovoltaics at Weidmüller, will share his insights on how smart monitoring systems can help reduce opex and capex. Priester has almost 20 years of experience in PV, as well as an engineering background specializing in energy and automation.

During the webinar, we will discuss the different approaches to string monitoring and how to choose one to best add value for your solar PV asset. We will also look at some of the key features of DC combiner boxes for large scale plants and we will talk about the benefits of integrating weather data into monitoring systems for greater accuracy and reliability.

Pv magazine webinar content:
• Benefits of monitored DC combiner boxes
• How weather stations complement string monitoring
• PV string monitoring system as a retrofit solution for string monitoring in solar plants
• PV harness monitoring system as a string monitoring solution
• Q&A

We encourage you to take part in the discussion and ask questions, which can be submitted beforehand or through a chat window during the webinar.

This webinar will be moderated by Blathnaid O’Dea, features editor at pv magazine.
