Intelligent solar tracking for the utility-scale segment and its impact on plant performance

Hardware, software, and sensors working in harmony can significantly improve the effectiveness of forecasting and optimization for tracker-mounted solar arrays in the utility-scale segment. The role of smart controllers, big data, and effective algorithms in plant performance is worth examination, and in this webinar, we’ll examine a new-to-market solution.

Join our pv magazine Webinar as we take an in-depth look at PV Hardware’s DeepTrack by PVH solar tracking solution, an integrated system designed to optimize PV plant performance. We’ll check the hardware and software components that make up the DeepTrack by PVH offer and allow attendees to drill down into how PV Hardware’s tracking solution works and what value it can bring to plant operators.

We’ll hear from Noel Alvarez, PV Hardware’s technical presales manager. He leads the technical presales team and designs optimal control architectures for PV plants. Edgar Pedrego, PV Hardware’s director of technical sales, will join in to share his insights on performance optimization.

Hans Loewenheath, product manager, Xweather protect at Vaisala, will also attend, sharing insights into the measurement instruments company’s experience equipping customers with devices and data to improve plant efficiency.
