Introduction
The Photovoltaic (PV) Tabular Map offers a detailed performance overview for your PV sites. You can use it to view real-time data from any individual solar power plant.
The data visualized is based on:
Aggregated power plant values
Individual cabin values
Individual inverter values
Individual string values
This table displays all assets and site resources that Farsight® collects in real time. The individual components are explained from smallest to largest.
Asset | Definition |
Solar PV Strings | Individual solar panels are connected in series (positive to negative terminals) to form a string. This creates a single circuit through which electric current flows. |
Inverters | Multiple strings are grouped, and their combined DC power output feeds into an inverter. The inverter converts direct current (DC) into alternating current (AC) electricity. Each inverter has a specific number of input channels, as determined by the manufacturer's specifications. |
Cabins | Inverters are housed within cabins, which serve as central units for managing the power supply of individual components. |
Power Plant | All cabins at a single location together constitute the complete power plant. |
Steps
Go to: Portfolio > PV Tabular Map
Use the dropdown to select the desired solar power plant. You can only view 1 solar power plant at a time
Asset details:
Asset name
Number of individual cabins the asset has
Last Update timestamp: Displays the most recent time Farsight® received data from the asset. This timestamp refreshes each time new data is collected from the field
Aggregated power plant data:
The total Active Power produced by the asset. The real-time value (1225.3 kW) in the image represents current output, while the reference value (2240 kW) represents the asset's maximum optimum capacity. The green bar indicates what percentage of maximum capacity is currently being produced
The solar irradiance represents the solar energy intensity at the asset location, measured in watts per square meter (W/m²). The current reading in the image is 805.7 W/m², compared to a reference maximum of 1400 W/m². The orange bar shows the current irradiance as a percentage of the reference value
Asset statuses such as OK, Fault, Warning, Service, and Unknown. You can hover over any status to see the type and number of reported occurrences
Each cabin contains inverters, and the aggregated cabin data
Aggregated cabin data:
The total Active Power produced by the asset. The real-time value (602,9 kW) shown in the image represents current output, while the reference value (1120 kW) represents the asset's maximum optimum capacity. The green bar indicates what percentage of maximum capacity is currently being produced
The solar irradiance represents the solar energy intensity at the asset location, measured in watts per square meter (W/m²). The current reading in the image is 805.7 W/m², compared to a reference maximum of 1400 W/m². The orange bar shows the current irradiance as a percentage of the reference value
Cabin statuses such as OK, Fault, Warning, Service, and Unknown. You can hover over any status to see the type and number of reported occurrences
Inverters:
Each inverter shows the name, status, active power produced, and the total number of strings
String:
Each string shows the number of channels and the power produced in Amps
Note: You can view more detailed information by hovering your mouse cursor over the Site elements.
Inverter Strings
Hover over any String to see the individual string data. In the image below, we can see the individual string data corresponding to Cabin 2, inverter 3, string 1.
Hover your mouse on any string, and a pop-up with details will appear
The name of the power plant, the inverter name, and the string number are at the top (i.e., Scopeto - Inverter 3.1). Beneath it in green is the string operational status as it was reported by the OEM component (status code 309)
The individual string channels are listed. Each channel reports the real-time power produced in Amps
Last update timestamp: Displays the most recent time Farsight received data from the asset. This timestamp refreshes each time new data is collected from the field
