Project Development Data
​
The impact of soiling on system performance is often poorly understood during the forecasting and planning stage of project development. Fracsun’s unique soiling dataset is the largest in the country and takes the guesswork out of project development to reduce financial risk.
Testimonials
Will Carleton,
General Manager Solar O&M
Clearway Energy Group
"The equipment has given us monitoring capability to compare soiling levels to generation and helped us determine at what soiling percentage do we engage the contractor so that we don’t have greater generation loss due to contractor scheduling. We can watch the soiling rate and determine ahead of time to schedule the contractor."
Michael Grenier, Managing Partner
Blu Ox Ventures
“Fracsun's soiling management solution is the first truly complete solution available to the market, and it actually makes managing solar assets easier by using sophisticated software to proactively analyze your data and cost-benefit calculations.”
Cannon Michaels, President
Bowles Farming Company
“Before implementing the ARES solution near an agricultural facility our team had difficulty determining when it was the best time to clean the array. After deploying the soiling monitoring hardware, we were able to see that we weren’t washing enough and we were able to bring cleaning in-house, saving a substantial expense on every cleaning event.”
