The team behind a 194 MW plant in Washington was eager to begin planning the complex details for what would become a sustainable gamechanger for the State of Washington and its community. The project owners knew they needed a sophisticated power plant controller with an extensive control library for obtaining...

Utility-scale solar is a term used to describe large-scale solar installations that are connected to the electric grid, providing power for a utility’s customers. These projects rely on photovoltaic (PV) technology and have a wide range of sizes, measured in megawatts (MW).

When planning the monitoring and controlling technology services for a utility-scale solar project, it is important that the hardware used has no restrictions

Designed to provide a generic implementation of control algorithms, the AlsoEnergy-engineered control library contains a catalog of standard controls and custom controls.

Utility-scale solar offers several benefits to the environment, economy, and society. Environmentally speaking, utility-scale solar has zero emissions and requires no water for operation.

Utility-scale solar works by capturing sunlight with PV panels and converting it into electricity. This electricity is then sent to the electric grid where customers can use it.
