💡 Work smart, play smart... AC and DC don’t just play music, they are key figures in the production of renewable energy. ⏱ Save your time through instant fault identification. ⚡ DC (Direct Current) is being produced by photovoltaic power plants. The inverter transforms the DC into AC (Alternating Current). That’s the power we’re all using everyday when we plug in an electric device. 💸 Also, the AC power is being measured by the feed-in meters, and those measures transfer directly into revenues. 💻 No wonder our customers want to have a very detailed view on these AC figures! 💪 We improved our dashboard with an extension that appears small on the outside but had large scale implications on our backend capabilities. 👉 This improvement saves our customers hours of work every month and increases our computing capabilities and data processing flexibility as well. #solarOS #energytransition #servicebetter

🌟 NEW UX – changing our world and yours! 🤝 We looked at the most common daily workflows with our partners and the way our web-portal is in use. We assessed the data and concluded improvements for our user interface, lifting the user experience (UX) to new highs – convince yourself! 😍 Together with first pilot customers we are super excited about the improvements. 📣 We start this transition by introducing a slide-in menu: The Sidebar. Firstly, in our ticket system, which is receiving multiple updates and improvements in the upcoming weeks. When working with tickets navigation just became more intuitive and faster. 🔮 Very soon: Users can comment tickets directly and streamline communication among peers. #solarOS #energytransition #servicebetter

🤯 Service who? We experience this every day, and it is exhausting, to be honest. 🔧 Every piece of technical equipment requires service and maintenance. 🌞 Fortunately, PV installations are very low maintenance. (In most cases) there are no moving parts, and the technology is very mature. BUT 💔 Things that can break, will break at some point. 😎 Be smart. 👷♀️ Be prepared. 🌐 Use remote monitoring. #solarOS #energytransition #servicebetter

🖥 Do you like webinars, too? ⭐ We are creating online content about our company, our products, and how we perceive the market and it‘s plenty opportunities. 🌐 We share the content through webinars first and make it available on demand afterwards. You find us on Youtube and directly through our website (link in the comments)! Our current topic is „efficient PV monitoring.“ 📆 Next webinar date in English is 01.08.2024, at 10:00 am. 🌟 We also work on new content and the short list covers: White Label, the Power BI Connector, and some more product updates. ❓ What else should we cover? Let us know in the comments! #solarOS #energytransition #servicebetter

Oh boy, we do love data! 💚 The Solytic platform evolved over the last 7 years to a very flexible tool kit for IoT big data applications. Our focus is on renewables and #solar PV is on top of the list by far, so far. We apply #Cloud, #IoT, #BigData, and use #AI – of course – on a daily basis in scale, large scale. The one buzz-tech missing is #blockchain and we don’t see this changing any time soon. For all techies around: Our Gateway handled already above 3 million active devices. We achieved 99.9% availability, while handling 100 GB of daily data ingress. Our platform processes more than 100 file formats and it takes about 30ms processing time in average. Our ETL handled more than 100 TB. The API managed already more than 250,000 users with more than 100,000 monthly active users, creating a daily traffic of more than 20 GB. #solarOS #energytransition #servicebetter [Edited: Typo corrected]

How big are the top 5 in the German solar market, really? We had a look at the publicly available data and learned that the numbers are impressive and unique in an international benchmark. According to BSW – Bundesverband Solarwirtschaft e.V. we added about 1,000,000 new PV sites in Germany in 2023. (sites = installations, power plants, etc.) Those 1 million sites add up to roughly 14.1 GW of newly installed capacity! (= very impressive growth! 7.5 GW in 2022, close to 90% year-on-year) (= 1 GW = 1,000,000 kW = 100,000 residential roof tops) The probably largest installer claims to have installed more than 30,000 PV sites in 2023. (= more than 100% growth year-on-year, again very impressive!) If all this data is reliable (which we expect to be true), this leads to the conclusion that the largest installer in Germany is responsible for (only) 3% of the total market in 2023. Compared to other, international markets this data shows very explicitly how incredibly fragmented the German market still was in 2023, and very likely still is this year. (= top 5 in The Netherlands make about 70% of the NL-national market) #solarOS #energytransition #servicebetter

💰 “Data is the new oil” Sure, just don’t follow this analogy too far down the rabbit hole. One similarity of both (data and oil), however, is that you can use raw data and crude oil for exactly nothing in everyday life. 👉 It requires a process of “refining” to make it useful and applicable. 👩🎓 A common framework, often referred to in scientific literature, is the knowledge pyramid: 🥉 By combining signs based on pre-defined rules we form structured data. 🥈 Data put in context turns into tangible information. 🥇 Information leads to knowledge, awareness, and actionable insight. Combining different data sets has the power of creating business value through better, because more actionable insight. Increasing the quality and speed of our decision making. Resulting in reduced costs and increased returns. ❓ How do you leverage your data for decision making? #solarOS #energytransition #servicebetter

ℹ Let’s talk about a serious topic: Plant Controllers & Redispatch 2.0 👉 Did my photovoltaic power plants deal with curtailment last week? 👉 What are the consequences? ⚖ PV plants (often also called sites or parks) require the installation of a steering device that allows the system operator (TSO, DSO) to reduce the feed-in remotely to ensure distribution and transmission system stability. 👷♀️👨💻 For the technical operators, this data is important information when assessing the performance. You will find this data available in the Solytic device screens. Additionally, this data is available through the Solytic API for more upscale assessments, e.g. to implement it in business intelligence dashboards, combining the curtailment data with feed-in tariffs and performance data, upscaled into an automatically created monthly report. ❓ Do you have more ideas how to combine PV monitoring data with 3rd party application data to gain valuable and actionable insight? #solarOS #energytransition #servicebetter

🤖 AI is everywhere and endangers all our jobs! …or not. 🐨 AI, with all its sub-technologies and micro-applications, has the power to speed up many daily tasks. At Solytic we experience a productivity and quality boost. Simple GenAI tools, such as ChatGPT, help us automate repetitive tasks and accelerate processes. With AI handling the routines and analytical work, our experienced and senior team can dedicate more time to creative and strategic tasks. This ensures that the outcome is a true result of our expertise, with AI serving as a valuable assistant during the process. We use AI daily, consciously (e.g., not touching sensitive data), and for specific tasks. To name a few… - Communication: Adapting to our customers’ mother tongue (and vice versa). - Documentation: To accelerate writing our FAQ and internal manual. - Product: Smart alerts to supervise performance and stability. - Development: Adapting new technologies and testing code quality. #solarOS #energytransition #servicebetter

What’s your problem, seriously?! 🤔 👩🔧 Most people (probably) agree that it is very important to factually understand the bottleneck first before working on performance improvements. Can you describe your bottleneck or biggest challenge that holds you back? When buying products or services, we (all) like “good”, “cheap”, and “fast”. Reality teaches us: “Quality, Price, Time… pick two.” We operate in a market, where quality is imperative, and pricing is relevant. To speed up the process for decision makers, we offer information about our products on our website in much detail, honest and transparent. Are you a decision maker? After understanding your bottleneck, your "needs and wants“ respectively, you can research on our website our solutions (Monitoring, API, White-label) and deep dive into our FAQ. Also, you find in-detail information about most used SaaS features, such as: Self-onboarding, Dashboards, Analysis, KPIs, User Management, Reporting, Alarms & Tickets. 📧 For a personal contact, please reach out to us via [email protected] #solarOS #energytransition #servicebetter
