Abstract: A system and method in which information relevant to a Photovoltaic (PV) solar-site specific activity environment is displayed on the display screen of an Augmented Reality (AR) device as part of the surrounding environment, instead of on a separate computing device or an installation manual. The activity environment includes PV solar site-specific survey and feasibility analysis, installation and commissioning, Operation and Maintenance (O&M), and site overhaul/removal activities. Thus, relevant information is available to an installer/technician at their fingertips so that the installer/technician can continue the task they are involved in without losing focus. The AR device may record relevant data during site survey and note important points, accelerate installation and commissioning, make O&M more efficient, and record the complete process for ongoing improvement/management of the site. Moreover, company-specific best practices may be loaded on the AR device as guidelines to make the process uniform across the entire fleet of installers.

Abstract: A computer implemented method of estimating solar irradiance, the method comprising: constructing a reference irradiance set of tuples; constructing a reference predictor set of tuples, merging the reference irradiance set of tuples and the reference predictor set of tuples by matching numerical identifiers for a location for which a global horizontal irradiance exists in the reference irradiance set of tuples and the timestamp with the numerical identifier for a particular location in the reference predictor set of tuples and the timestamp to provide a reference data set of tuples; and estimating the global horizontal irradiance for a specific location and a timestamp by minimizing the least squares error between the reference predictor set of tuples and the reference irradiance set of tuples to provide a set of estimated global horizontal irradiance values for a specific location and timestamp.

Abstract: A system and method in which production measurement for renewable energy is obtained in a storage-independent manner. Energy storage is separated out from the renewable generation to provide individual performance analytics. A monitoring unit uses device communication and metering to enable revenue-grade production measurement for renewable source and energy storage periodically at specified time intervals. The production measurement for the renewable source is obtained in a form that would be comparable to renewable installations without storage, for accurate billing, maintenance, and performance analytics. Additionally, multiple energy flows may be used by the monitoring unit to arrive at a storage efficiency value that can be attributed to the storage unit and how the storage unit is operated in the renewable energy system. The storage efficiency quantifies efficiency losses arising from the use of a storage unit to estimate the actual impact of storage and the charge controller algorithm on energy production.
