ActSolar - the world's first solar operations and managment company

In order to improve PV system performance and reliability, solar needs ubiquitous instrumentation augmented by robust diagnostics and a finance-based interface. Only then will system operators definitively control performance both at the component level and in aggregate. By managing systems intelligently, solar power producers can competently participate in the energy marketplace and dominate renewable energy credit programs (eg. CA Performance Based Initiative, Carbon Cap & Trade, Renewable Energy Certificates). ActSolar recognizes these opportunities and is focusing its expertise to benefit a new category of PV system operator, the Solar Manager.

ActSolar has developed a unique set of products and applications that allow solar power producers to lower their cost/kWh by up to 1/3! By enabling significantly higher yields from all solar technologies, these products act as catalysts to accelerate industry performance and growth.

ActSolar's first product is the true definition of a solar manager and, aptly named SolMan™. SolMan's primary mission is to enable system operators to optimize power production, management and operational costs for PV systems. By combining high-resolution monitoring devices, patented diagnostics and a user-friendly interface, SolMan™ provides the operator with error detection queues and recommended remedies based on financial parameters.

SolMan™ applies instrumentation to every critical component of a solar array. These devices send real-time performance metrics to the ActSolar Solar Operations Center (SOC) for analysis using patented array symmetry analysis techniques. Array managers, owners and maintainers use the output from the SOC to intelligently manage and increase yields. Early trial results of ActSolar technology improved system performance over 30%. Imagine the value of installing significantly less equipment to achieve equivalent power or delivering much greater power from your original array!
