Case Study: Shift Energy Japan boosts solar performance monitoring with Solargis Monitor

Shift Energy Japan uses Solargis Monitor to track and assess its projects’ financial performance

Shift Energy Japan (SEJ), a financier and operator of solar power systems, faced a challenge in accurately monitoring the performance of its widespread portfolio of over 400 small-scale solar facilities across Japan's complex terrain. Relying on low-granularity public irradiance data located far from their sites created significant financial and operational risks. SEJ sought a new, highly granular monitoring solution from vendor Solargis to gain accurate insights.

The vendor Solargis implemented its Solargis Monitor service, which uses satellite-derived data to provide site-specific simulations and technical analysis of PV production. This solution provided SEJ's investors and operators with trusted, easily understandable data, replacing guesswork with clarity. As a result, Solargis helped SEJ set a new standard for performance evaluation, which boosted investor confidence, enhanced the value delivered to their customers, and allowed for substantial savings across their distributed systems.
