How big are the top 5 in the German solar market, really? We had a look at the publicly available data and learned that the numbers are impressive and unique in an international benchmark. According to BSW – Bundesverband Solarwirtschaft e.V. we added about 1,000,000 new PV sites in Germany in 2023. (sites = installations, power plants, etc.) Those 1 million sites add up to roughly 14.1 GW of newly installed capacity! (= very impressive growth! 7.5 GW in 2022, close to 90% year-on-year) (= 1 GW = 1,000,000 kW = 100,000 residential roof tops) The probably largest installer claims to have installed more than 30,000 PV sites in 2023. (= more than 100% growth year-on-year, again very impressive!) If all this data is reliable (which we expect to be true), this leads to the conclusion that the largest installer in Germany is responsible for (only) 3% of the total market in 2023. Compared to other, international markets this data shows very explicitly how incredibly fragmented the German market still was in 2023, and very likely still is this year. (= top 5 in The Netherlands make about 70% of the NL-national market) #solarOS #energytransition #servicebetter

💰 “Data is the new oil” Sure, just don’t follow this analogy too far down the rabbit hole. One similarity of both (data and oil), however, is that you can use raw data and crude oil for exactly nothing in everyday life. 👉 It requires a process of “refining” to make it useful and applicable. 👩🎓 A common framework, often referred to in scientific literature, is the knowledge pyramid: 🥉 By combining signs based on pre-defined rules we form structured data. 🥈 Data put in context turns into tangible information. 🥇 Information leads to knowledge, awareness, and actionable insight. Combining different data sets has the power of creating business value through better, because more actionable insight. Increasing the quality and speed of our decision making. Resulting in reduced costs and increased returns. ❓ How do you leverage your data for decision making? #solarOS #energytransition #servicebetter

ℹ Let’s talk about a serious topic: Plant Controllers & Redispatch 2.0 👉 Did my photovoltaic power plants deal with curtailment last week? 👉 What are the consequences? ⚖ PV plants (often also called sites or parks) require the installation of a steering device that allows the system operator (TSO, DSO) to reduce the feed-in remotely to ensure distribution and transmission system stability. 👷♀️👨💻 For the technical operators, this data is important information when assessing the performance. You will find this data available in the Solytic device screens. Additionally, this data is available through the Solytic API for more upscale assessments, e.g. to implement it in business intelligence dashboards, combining the curtailment data with feed-in tariffs and performance data, upscaled into an automatically created monthly report. ❓ Do you have more ideas how to combine PV monitoring data with 3rd party application data to gain valuable and actionable insight? #solarOS #energytransition #servicebetter

🤖 AI is everywhere and endangers all our jobs! …or not. 🐨 AI, with all its sub-technologies and micro-applications, has the power to speed up many daily tasks. At Solytic we experience a productivity and quality boost. Simple GenAI tools, such as ChatGPT, help us automate repetitive tasks and accelerate processes. With AI handling the routines and analytical work, our experienced and senior team can dedicate more time to creative and strategic tasks. This ensures that the outcome is a true result of our expertise, with AI serving as a valuable assistant during the process. We use AI daily, consciously (e.g., not touching sensitive data), and for specific tasks. To name a few… - Communication: Adapting to our customers’ mother tongue (and vice versa). - Documentation: To accelerate writing our FAQ and internal manual. - Product: Smart alerts to supervise performance and stability. - Development: Adapting new technologies and testing code quality. #solarOS #energytransition #servicebetter
