Solar Vision™ SCADA Solutions

SolarVision™ is an advanced SCADA solution. It optimizes performance monitoring, reduces downtime, and increases overall profitability. It is built on a resilient industry software platform and ensures seamless communication with field controllers via OPC. The control center software collects and processes data through a TCP/IP network, enabling long-term analysis throughout the plant’s service life. Data is securely stored on an SQL Server database, ensuring zero data loss, even in case of communication failures. The graphical interface of the system is highly preferred by investors, operators, and service engineers alike.

SolarVision™ detects and logs issues, triggering alarms for the operations team to take corrective action. Using an intelligent mathematical model, initialized with plant design data (PV panels, inverters, electrical parameters, etc.), it continuously processes local weather data to determine real-time energy production efficiency.
