Monitoring & Maintenance
Beachfront Solar Solutions provides solar remote monitoring and maintenance services that ensure the performance of solar PV systems in the South African PV market.
Our remote monitoring services include:
Data visualisation
We will provide data storage and visualisation services to the customer, so that they can market their green credentials on their site and online and enforce their warranties.
Scheduled maintenance
Timing is important for the efficient upkeep of the various components of a solar array. Using data management to consistently monitor remotely not only reduces the risk of damage, it also increases the early detection of inefficiencies which can inform best scheduling of maintenance.
Research outside South Africa
Hardware and software components are constantly re-evaluated as our research team pushes the boundaries of optimised rooftop PV. Their research efforts operate across global markets as they provide services to a variety of sectors where scaled solar solutions are utiltised.
Warranty management services
enable the customer to get specialised insurance that pays out in the case of system failure -effectively giving them a performance guarantee and reducing the cost of borrowing; that We are currently working on a remote monitoring device that will also manage batteries,
enabling customers to store their power and dispatch it during peak demand times
Industrial data collection
What SMS offers that is different to the rest of the market is industrial data collection i.e. data that is close to the accuracy of the scientific weather stations at retail prices that are affordable to small residential systems. This includes irradiation (light) and ambient temperature. With its sophisticated algorithms, SMS’s service is able to identify under-performance as well as non-performance – by
calculating the energy that should be calculated according to the specification.
