Fracsun specializes in providing a comprehensive soiling loss management solution designed to optimize solar energy output, reduce operational costs, and enhance planning for photovoltaic (PV) assets. The company's integrated system addresses one of the most significant sources of energy forecast uncertainty and underperformance in solar installations: soiling.

At the core of Fracsun's offering is the ARES Soiling Station, a proprietary hardware solution based on large-area PV reference cell technology. This patented sensor measures on-site soiling loss with exceptional accuracy, offering a real metric compared to estimation methods used by optical sensors. ARES stations are designed for quick installation, are self-powered and cellular-enabled, requiring minimal maintenance while providing guaranteed clean irradiance measurements through an integrated spray nozzle and automated wash extension.

Complementing the hardware is CLEO AI, a cutting-edge soiling loss modeling engine. CLEO leverages Fracsun's extensive localized dataset to generate highly accurate, region-specific simulations of annual soiling losses. The entire system is managed through a cloud-based software platform that offers an intuitive online dashboard for real-time data monitoring, wash forecasting and analysis, proactive alerts for optimal cleaning schedules, and multi-user access with API/CSV data download capabilities.

Fracsun serves a diverse range of stakeholders in the solar industry, including EPC firms, developers, meteorological surveyors, asset managers, project financiers, PPA providers, and O&M contract holders. By delivering precise, actionable soiling data and intelligent forecasting, Fracsun empowers these professionals to make informed decisions that maximize site performance and ensure the long-term profitability of their solar investments.
