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
