Wattch provides solar owners and operators with a clearer picture of solar system performance, thanks to our industry-leading performance models and data resolution. Our solar O&M platform also uses low-noise, real-time alerts via browser, text or email to enable faster issue resolution. The Wattch platform also incorporates flexible reporting and cloud-native controls, so you can better remotely diagnose and resolve issues.

Using our digital twin-based solar performance models, you can easily surface, prioritize, diagnose, and even resolve issues remotely and in real time. We model comprehensive system performance down to the voltage and current of each string, enabling device-level and string-level insights not possible with other solar monitoring software platforms. Finally, our cloud-native controls allow you to remotely reset inverters, clear faults, and capture IV curves in real-time, minimizing the number of diagnostic site visits.

Most monitoring products use models that only take a system’s capacity, temperature, and irradiance into account. These models work well for homogeneous systems as well as for identifying significant losses. Digital twins build on these models by incorporating multiple physics-based processes as well as third-party equipment performance data to give a much more precise estimate of system performance. This enables O&M teams to surface, diagnose, and resolve issues quickly and remotely, minimizing false positives and false negatives.

We aim to provide solar O&M software and hardware that is easy to install, set up, commission, and use. Our turnkey data acquisition systems (DAS) can be set up in Wattch and associated with your site via a QR code, allowing you to commission your site in 90 seconds. Additionally, our cloud platform allows you to build a digital twin automatically from a PVsyst file and import sites directly using inverter APIs.

Wattch works out of the box with 250+ hardware models from leading manufacturers. We apply a standard data model and user interface to every site, allowing you to report on and control multiple sites simultaneously with no setup or customization fees.
