What has the Internet of Things (IoT) got to do with solar?
A lot, apparently!
This blog post from Solar Mango on the use of IoT for solar power plants says:
”
IoT-based solar monitoring platforms provide excellent performance analytics through provisions for the following:
- Calculation of performance parameters like Performance Ratio (PR) and Capacity Utilization Factor (CUF)
- Spatiotemporal analysis of generation
- Root cause analysis to evaluate factors that impact energy production.
”
Interesting indeed.
