IV DAQ & Analytics Portal

“If you can not measure it, you can not improve it.” - Lord Kelvin

Optimize DC Side Performance, Design & Forecasting

The IV DAQ and Analytics Portal is a comprehensive monitoring & analysis solution that enables revolutionary monitoring, diagnostics, and forecasting of DC-side PV plant performance. The IV DAQ is a cable-free, in situ IV curve tracer allowing unprecedented high-frequency data collection for PV characterization. The Analytics Portal integrates IV DAQ and sensor data, providing comprehensive analysis and actionable insights without the labour cost and downtime of alternatives.
