Case Study: a large photovoltaic plant recovers 1% of lost energy with Delfos Energy

Large Photovoltaic Plant recovers 1% of lost energy with Delfos Energy

A large photovoltaic plant was experiencing a significant loss of energy production due to morning shading on one of its inverters, a problem that was also accelerating equipment degradation. The plant engaged Delfos Energy, which used its intelligent monitoring and Energy Losses Waterfall tool to isolate the issue to an uneven terrain and a poor backtracking configuration.

Delfos Energy implemented corrections to the plant's backtracking system to mitigate the shading impact. As a result, the plant recovered 1% of its lost producible energy for the affected inverter, achieved 99.81% efficiency, and extended the operational life of its modules by reducing degrading conditions.
