Smart Alerts for Solar Installations

Smart alerts for solar installations are here! In addition to registering Inverter alerts, we’ve developed four new smart alerts that complement and enhance the capabilities of existing alerts.

What’s the difference between inverter alerts and these smart alerts?​

  1. More data sources:
    We not only use inverter data, but also integrate data from distributors, end users, and meteorological sources. They apply to all inverters (Huawei, GoodWe, SolarEdge, and Shelly as well)

  2. Advanced logic:
    Designed by and for installers, these alerts turn complex, manual calculations into actionable solutions for hundreds of installations, saving time and improving efficiency.

Which smart alerts are available?​

Inverter Power at Zero Alert:​

The installation is not registering any production throughout the day.

Inverter Limited with Anti-Spill Mode Alert:​

Non-legalized installations must activate anti-spill mode to avoid costs from illegal feed-ins.
Sometimes, after legalization, this mode is not deactivated, preventing the receipt of payments for surplus energy.

Two alerts are generated:

  • When the installation is not allowed to feed surplus energy and it is feeding.
  • When the installation is allowed to feed surplus energy and it is not feeding.

Performance Loss Alert:​

Alerts when a solar installation is performing at less than 70% of its nominal capacity by cross-referencing weather forecast data. The alert is generated according to the following logic:

  • Weather data is retrieved every 2 hours, considering the postal code of the residence.
  • The energy produced is compared with the estimated production based on the data platform used by the system.
  • If a significant discrepancy is detected, an alert is sent to indicate that the solar panels may be dirty or that an object could be obstructing the light.

Self-Consumption Equals Production Alert:​

A possible error in the clamp installation is detected when the installation shows over 80% self-consumption. This is uncommon since the supply consumption usually does not perfectly match generation.
