SunSniffer® revolutionizes photovoltaic (PV) plant management by digitalizing PV modules and implementing Industry 4.0 principles, bringing the Internet of Things (IoT) to the solar energy sector. The company provides an autonomous monitoring and analysis system that utilizes precisely measured module-level data, processed by advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms. This innovative approach allows for unparalleled transparency and insights into PV plant performance, enabling highly accurate fault detection and performance optimization.

The SunSniffer® system precisely identifies which individual module is losing power, quantifies the loss, and suggests optimal timing for maintenance or replacement, thereby significantly cutting Operation & Maintenance (O&M) costs and maximizing energy yield. Beyond module-level insights, it also offers comprehensive monitoring and analysis at the string and plant levels, catering to diverse customer needs. It detects even the smallest deviations and recognizes patterns, leading to fully automated error-finding, automated ROI calculations, and streamlined warranty claims, eliminating the need for time- and cost-intensive on-site error searches.

SunSniffer® provides critical, previously unseen insights, such as exact energy loss due to soiling, the effectiveness of cleaning efforts, the precise stage of module degradation for warranty claims, and hidden damages from events like hail storms. Its hardware products, including various sensors, retrofit boxes, string readers, and gateways (e.g., Gateway 5-String/Residential, Gateway 30-String, Gateway Plus), along with a comprehensive web portal and specialized junction boxes like ANALYTICS and RAPID SHUTDOWN Retrofit Box, form a complete operating system for PV plants. Serving asset managers, operators, residential plant owners, scientists, and consultants, SunSniffer® ensures plants always run at their optimal potential, reducing costs, enhancing yield, and prolonging plant lifespan.
