To Clean or not to Clean ?
Optimize Your PV Cleaning Costs — Clean Less, Earn More! In a context of tightening margins on solar assets, every cost factor matters. For large PV fleets, cleaning budgets can easily reach hundreds of thousands of euros per year—often without centralized economic optimization for each individual plant. The right question isn’t “When should we clean?” […]
Interview – Léon Gaillard, CTO of Heliocity about the power of Helio Smart Guard-Grid
We put to Léon Gaillard, our CTO, a set of questions raised by several of our clients and prospects regarding Helio Smart Guard–Grid (HSG-G), our intelligent PV diagnostic solution based solely on grid meter data. Q1 – How do you detect and quantify losses (shading, grid constraints, partial inverter shutdowns, disconnected strings, etc.) using only […]
Unleashing the full value of PV monitoring data
Background The rapid deployment of photovoltaic (PV) systems across Europe and globally is a remarkable success story in the transition toward cleaner energy. Yet, behind this momentum lies a persistent and largely underestimated challenge: PV plants are underperforming—often silently. In many cases, the gap between theoretical yield and actual energy output remains wide, and unfortunately, […]
