infiswift, an enterprise Internet of Things (IoT) platform leader, in partnership with Solar Power International, announced the launch of swiftPV, an IoT suite of products and services designed to improve the performance of photovoltaic (PV) systems.
swiftPV leverages IoT technology to change how the solar industry uses data to optimize the performance of photovoltaic (PV) systems. Owners and operators of PV power plant can connect diverse PV assets and distil insights from the data, ultimately increasing solar plant performance.
The swiftPV suite of products and services includes ‘blocks’ that can be used to build a solution — each customer selects what’s right for them. The current swiftPV blocks include:
Data ingest: This core block is built on the infiswift IoT platform, which connects and manages all field devices and cloud feeds regardless of vendor. This highly scalable platform ensures your data is properly routed from origination to destination in near real-time.
Apps: SwiftPV apps use custom mobile and web visual interfaces for each stakeholder on the team.
Cloud Historian: This is a private database with open data access and flexible setup to cover all data needs.
Reports: SwiftPV produces reports with tailored recommendations and data that can be updated and customized for delivery when needed.
PV Performance Services (PVPS): Professional engineering support is available to monitor, analyze and interpret complex data.
“Solar owners and operators currently rely on third party monitoring and SCADA systems to provide data on the operation and performance of plants, but these systems are very costly, inflexible and limit data access,” said Arup Barat, Co-CEO and Chief Commercial Officer at infiswift.
“With over 85 years of team experience in the industry, we understand these pain points and the need to modernize PV management solutions with storage, frequency regulation, edge analytics and more in mind,” Barat added. “In swiftPV, we have built a cutting-edge, customizable and cost-effective data solution for the future of PV.”
