✨Congratulations to Obton A/S for launching their Global Monitoring Centre in Milan. The facility will move towards the monitoring of assets totaling 2 gigawatts and centralizes the asset operation function. In a nutshell, what you need to know about it: ✅Detailed overview of all systems using meteocontrol’s VCOM, combined with a highly skilled team, results in minimized outages and optimal production. ✅Preventive and corrective maintenance tasks are conducted via external partners, while Obton retains full operational responsibility. This enhanced control over site activities and clear role delineation optimizes resource utilization. ✅Control over data leads to improved reporting, performance measurement, and performance control. ✅Optimal production, efficient resource use, and enhanced control contribute to increased internal rate of return (IRR) for investor-owned funds. Arturo Grauso, Head of Plant Management at Obton, states, "The launch of our Global Monitoring Centre represents a pivotal step in taking full control of our plant operations. By bringing the operational scope in-house, we aim to enhance asset performance through detailed data analysis and improved management." #alternativeenergy #solarpower #technology #energytransition

🏆 Excellent work also deserves excellent recognition: MaxSolar GmbH has won this year's The smarter E Award in the Outstanding Projects category for the Bundorf innovation project. Congratulations on this! 🤩 At 125 MWp, this is one of the largest PV systems in Germany. The project supplies the equivalent of around 37,500 households with energy. This corresponds to more than 131 billion kWh of renewable electricity and heat per year and reduces the Bavarian municipality's CO2 emissions by around 90,000 tons. 💪 💪 We are particularly proud that meteocontrol is part of this project.* We prepared a yield report in advance. We later supplied several blue'Logs for monitoring and our well-proven solution, the VCOM Cloud, is also being used. "The collaboration between MaxSolar and meteocontrol is an important element for us. By integrating advanced monitoring technologies, we can significantly increase the efficiency and reliability of solar installations. We look forward to continuing our successful collaboration," says CEO Christoph Strasser. 🤗 We will continue to support MaxSolar in future projects and look forward to the good cooperation. *Read all about the project in the comments below⏬   Intersolar #awards #innovation #technology #alternativeenergy #success Pictures: MaxSolar GmbH
