Decarbonization Avenue : Low & medium temperature solar thermal

Innovation Insights

Remote monitoring and optimization of solar thermal systems

Most of the smaller and low temperature solar thermal systems do not include detailed measurements and analytics of the inputs and outputs. This lack of data and intelligence can result in both underperformance of these systems and could also result in problems/breakdowns not being spotted quickly. 

With the current advancements in remote monitoring, analytics and control technologies through the use of sensors, connectivity and controllers and connectivity, even smaller solar thermal systems can benefit from use of monitoring and control technologies that larger and higher temperature solar thermal systems had been already utilizing for some time now.
