The Solar panels from the German company AEG now have an effective technology that allows each module to tell you if it is performing fine, or if it is losing voltage because of technical issues trough a failing bypass diode or PID. That means that you can zoom out, and see at a glance all of your solar power plant. You can instantly tell not only what it is producing, but also if there are any issues. You know exactly where any problem panels are located – and even more importantly decide whether it is worth sending an O&M team to replace the problem panel or you can choose to simply wait because it is not economically viable to send the team at that time.
If you are an O&M operator, you can have the information at your fingertips to go out in the field knowing exactly which modules need to be replaced, instead of wasting hours of expensive man hours in a long and time-consuming search.
AEG offers a series of cost effective smart modules featuring the Individual Module Monitoring technology. This technology brings a radical change in the O&M paradigm and will, put simply, increase the cash generation of any system. This information is then then transmitted to a Web Portal which is capable of analyzing and diagnosing the information coming from the modules.
