  • Photovoltaic reference radiation, photovoltaic panel temperature, soiling ratio, transmission loss

  • Tilt angles in the x and y axis

Create weather alerts powered by real-time measurements

Every weather-sensitive business has operational thresholds that require extra attention. Falling temperatures may trigger a change in procedures. Rising wind speeds may bring a safety warning into effect. In Xweather Insight, you can set up threshold alerts for real-time measurements that include specific guidelines to ensure users know exactly what actions to take in each situation.

Improve your response to changing conditions

Whether you monitor temperature, wind speed, or another parameter, setting up an alert is a breeze. Choose from a comprehensive selection of weather, environmental, and solar parameters from your connected sensors and set a threshold value for your alert. Add custom guidelines explaining the necessary steps to follow when the alert is triggered. Use contact lists to ensure the right people get the right alerts at the right time. Alerts are also displayed in the Xweather Insight UI so you can assess the situation immediately.

Xcast technology
