Share

Qantum is a hardware-agnostic energy management platform based on SaaS, that gathers data from any wind or solar plant monitoring system, such as databases, SCADA or data acquisition systems, including data from trackers, hybrid plants or storage facilities. The software then collects and transforms the data into comprehensive, next-stage analytics, enabling SOLV to rapidly identify performance issues.

“Our solution helps clients deliver best-in-class O&M services for solar PV plants of any size, from small rooftop installations to massive utility-scale projects, such as the 155 MWp Comanche Project which generates an average of 5,000 data points, including the Qantum-based calculation of 1,800 formula-based KPIs (key performance indicators). Thanks to Qantum’s unmatched intelligence capabilities, SOLV can visualize, understand, streamline and maximize global operational performance using a simple web browser,” explained Franck Le Breton, the CEO of QOS Energy.

The cloud-based suite features a complete set of customizable charts, operating dashboards KPIs and alerts helping users to gain a deeper understanding of the asset’s performance at a glance, and to identify root causes of underperformance. Additional KPIs and technical indicators have also been created specifically for any trackers installed onsite.

The platform offers a fully integrated maintenance management system to help reduce downtime by streamlining maintenance workflows for large and complex renewable energy portfolios. In addition, SOLV benefits from a reporting feature included in the SaaS solution to customize and automate its reporting processes.

“We operate and maintain on behalf of our clients a broad and diverse PV portfolio that requires industry-leading plant management skills. The solution provided by QOS Energy can integrate any type of data, which is a powerful and truly unique capability in the market. We can now track asset performance with greater efficiency, and, in turn provide optimum value to our clients. The implementation phase has been very smooth and we were impressed with the level of service provided by QOS Energy,” concluded Adam Snyder, the product manager of SOLV.

SOLV currently manages 3.25 GW of PV assets and is ranked #2 among O&M vendors globally in United States.

QOS Energy software is used on over 4,000 facilities worldwide, including 3.5 GW of renewable power.
