Solar energy production forecasting system
Provider:
Suncast
Country:
Chile
Forecasting system that can determine and optimize the output of power from power plants with the help of smart algorithms. These forecasts are sent to the AI machine learning system for day-ahead planning. Using this system solar power plant owners can reduce the risk of penalties due to incorrect projections. Suncast also provides a cleaning management system that keeps track of when the solar panels need to be cleaned in order to increase the efficiency of PV panels.
