Case Study: 2 Plants recover hidden solar losses with SmartHelio's One-Time Diagnostic

How 2 plants recovered thousands in hidden losses before peak season with OTD

The customer, referred to as 2 Plants, was facing significant hidden energy losses and inefficiencies at their solar installations in Italy and Romania. Despite existing maintenance efforts, these issues threatened to undermine peak summer production. To address this, they engaged SmartHelio to utilize its One-Time Diagnostic (OTD) service to uncover the root causes of their performance problems.

SmartHelio’s solution used automated data analysis and machine learning to quickly diagnose complex faults like inverter trips and poor mappings. The implementation was completed in just over five days for each plant, resulting in a substantial recovery of energy and major cost savings. Specifically, 2 Plants recovered 6.8% of their annual energy loss, slashed their maintenance site visits and costs, and avoided significant downtime, proving the effectiveness of SmartHelio's diagnostic approach.
