iPLON did three concepts on the TCTC Substation rooftop.
– Soiling Loss System:
The soiling loss system helps in monitoring the loss in yield due to settling of dust on the module between cleaning cycles. It employs 1 current sensor unit and 1 iBOX premium.
– Weather station monitoring :
Weather station monitoring is performed using 1 iBOX Premium and an irradiation sensor.
– Inverter and Energy meter monitoring:
Monitoring of the KACO Inverter and ICD energymeter is performed using 1 iBOX Standard
The system has been completely commissioned and iPLON Germany is now working on the portal developments.
