AlsoEnergy is proud to introduce the industry’s most accurate virtual weather data stream, including localized available irradiance data as well as 5-day predicted power forecasts. Solar industry professionals now have access to the same breakthrough technology already being used by industrial utilities, agriculture, and transportation industries. AlsoEnergy has developed these new features in partnership with Global Weather Corporation (GWC), providers of the most accurate weather forecasts in the commercial marketplace.
AlsoEnergy is integrating this virtual weather data into both lines of solar monitoring software, PowerTrack and DECK Monitoring. AlsoEnergy customers with current version software will receive a free real-time data feed showing localized irradiance, ambient temperature, and module temperature (free service will not integrate virtual weather data into power analysis software tools).
Users may also choose to add one or both optional SolarSight packages, which add precipitation and humidity to the data stream. More importantly, the SolarSight packages integrate virtual weather data with analytic suite software tools, giving you all the same functionality you would expect from an on-site weather station.
- SolarSight Log: This feature adds access to localized historical weather data in hourly granularity. With full integration for both historical and real-time weather data, you will be able to see real-time production baseline calculations, and analyze historical performance in your system. Some users may find this to be an acceptable replacement for on-site weather stations.
- SolarSight Forecast: As more and more PV is being introduced onto the grid, professionals who manage power distribution are challenged to integrate solar energy resources that are difficult to predict. We can help with 5-day predicted power forecasts calculated by combining virtual weather forecasts with the AlsoEnergy production model. These solar production forecasts are customized to the unique specs of each array, so utility and distributed solar customers can use this feature to manage energy output and minimize energy costs.
Users who have upgraded to the latest version of DECK Monitoring software will notice a new benefit: you can now access native application displays on virtually any mobile device!
This feature is now available because current version DECK Monitoring software has been written using the latest web technology (HTML5). That means you will enjoy faster page loading times and a smoother user experience across multiple web platforms.
More importantly, because current version DECK software is built on an HTML5 platform, you can access all Admin Panel screens through your web browser on virtually any phone or mobile device!
Users with systems on the historical DECK Monitoring platform can redeploy to the latest version software remotely (assuming no independent issues demand a site visit). Time frame to redeploy varies depending on the size of the job. Current version DECK Monitoring software does not support all features of the historical DECK platform, including some DECK Dashboard customizations. Talk to your Account Executive for details.
