WEATHER MONITORING
Blackstone provides a comprehensive Weather Monitoring solution that integrates seamlessly into the PowerTrack™ System Monitoring framework. It simplifies the operation and management of solar investments by providing real time weather information which can be compared to system performance.
We provide a complete suite of onsite Weather Station solutions that deliver real-time meteorological data such as ambient temperature, module temperature, wind speed and direction, and solar irradiance. The data can be viewed on a dedicated customer web page.
PowerTrack™ Software
PowerTrack™ software offers a secure, low cost solution that minimizes downtime by generating immediate and informative alerts if a problem or potential problem occurs on-site. Alert parameters can be customer specified to minimize unproductive notifications.
PowerTrack™ compares data from the inverters, power meters and a weather station to the expected output for the specific system and location, and reports performance metrics in an easy to understand format.
PowerTrack™ features easy-to-use graphing and modeling capabilities that offer detailed analysis of real time and past performance. In addition to standard views, the software offers flexibility with unlimited customization of reports.
