myPV IQ Monitoring & Control Platform

Published by firstgreen on

Solar Operations Solutions, LLC (Solar-Ops) has been involved in over 3GW of commercial-industrial and utility-scale PV solar development, construction, and commissioning. Over the past decade, we have encountered the same challenges you do, and we were simply not satisfied with the solutions available on the market.

While many products only focus on low cost to satisfy construction budgets, we take a longer term view. If PV Solar and ESS facilities are going to serve the grid as generators of reliable power, providing the services and conveniences of modern society, then reliability and resiliency need to be prioritized.

So, how can we improve the existing AND provide long term reliability while lowering operating expenses?

We accept this challenge as an opportunity to invent and build technical solutions – the myPV brand of hardware and software. We also continuously evaluate how these components impact long term ownership.

Product Description

Whole Facility Monitoring & Control Platform

myPV IQ is a complete realtime solution for monitoring and controlling equipment installed at PV Solar and ESS facilities. It supports advanced features for data logging, realtime data viewing, user management, alarming, reporting, and API integration for third-party integrations.

myPV IQ is an operating system for PV Solar + ESS facilities.

myPV IQ was designed by the Solar-Ops’ team – experienced PV solar O&M professionals and owners. Beginning in 2015, and throughout its development, we put myPV IQ to the test for our own utility-scale O&M service offerings. Since public release in 2019, myPV IQ has been noted as a world class operating system providing reliable, uninterrupted data, unparalleled visibility, and remote operator control not found in other monitoring systems.

myPV IQ contains all of the capabilities to be a general purpose SCADA solution, and supports tools and features that allow for the monitoring, alarming, and trending of any MODBUS device. myPV IQ’s primary value proposition, however, is to arrive pre-configured with visualizations, analysis, reports, and features that directly address the most common requirements of PV Solar and ESS generation facilities.

myPV IQ is a solution for both new facilities or to be retrofit on legacy systems in need of long-term, reliable data monitoring or comprehensive operator control.
