Why intiyo?
Dust deposition (soiling) on photovoltaic panels is a major concern for energy yield loss. Scenarios in Western Europe show that soiling can negatively impact the production by 15%-20%. intiyo provides a cost effective solution to monitor soiling levels and related energy yield loss in real time. It informs system owners when site cleaning is necessary and enables to increase yield while optimizing maintenance costs.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
How does the setup of the system work?
intiyo is setup in few simple steps. The sensor
is installed next to the PV array and connected to WiFi.
The configuration of the PV sytem is done in the 
web-application.
intiyo is ready to start monitoring and triggers notifications in case of degradation and performance issues.
-
How does intiyo's pricing work?
intiyo's pricing model is a mix between a one off fee for the sensor and a recurrent SaaS (Software as a Service) license fee for performance and soiling analytics, including alarms in case of performance degradation. The SaaS fee depends on the installed power of the PV system.
