What is the added value of IP-Solar?
Added value for financial, political and scientific institutions
- access to standardized solar plant evaluations and key figures
- consistent solar plant comparisons and statistics available online
- assistance for political and subsidy-related questions; proof of energy output
- targeted use of subsidies, based on real energy yields
- creation of new jobs, because higher quality are a good basis for marketing and financial support
- reduced operating risk of solar installations increases the acceptance of solar installations in public; this supports spreading the solar thermal technology
- consistently higher and better monitored solar energy yields contribute to maximum savings on fossil fuels, reduced CO2 emissions and achievement of climate goals.
Added value for customers
- permanently higher and monitored solar energy output based on system malfunctions detected in time
- lower energy cost, maximum savings on expensive fuels
- energy service (contracting) models become more attractive due to higher solar energy yields
- higher financial subsidies
- 'all-inclusive carefree package' due to permanent operating surveillance
Added value for property developers
- IP-Solar is easy to retrofit and a cost-efficient investment
- higher financial subsidies possible due to higher and easily verifiable energy output
- IP-Solar is capable of modeling the entire energy supply system
- no similar product available for large solar thermal installations
- the engineering of new installations becomes more efficient
Added value for solar plant operators
- reduced running costs based on targeted service and maintenance, combined with higher energy yields
- improved economic performance of energy service (contracting) models, better pay-back
- reduced operating risk, lower running cost
- IP-Solar is compatible with many controllers and data acquisition systems
- no additional hardware needed on customer-side
- IP-Solar also detects failures on discharge and distribution side
- simple proof for the quality of a solar installation
