From Chaos to Control: How enSights Revolutionizes Renewable Energy Operations

The race is on

Developers are busy searching for appropriate new sites, checking out rooftops, agricultural land, and quiet stretches of water - any locations that can serve as viable places to install profitable RE assets, storage and EV charging stations. New sites are regularly found and approved, budgets get set, systems get chosen and projects are built. It all sounds simple enough …but… and it is a big but… what happens the day after the development is completed and the assets are put into action?

Often there is chaos, inadequate management, monitoring and maintenance. It can be a bit like having a large waterfall with a lake at the bottom - the energy is flowing, but it is not managed or optimized.

The problem is that while development plans are often super precise, the subsequent management, monitoring and maintenance of RE projects are often far less so. When companies are juggling multiple systems in various locations, they are often left with a significant managerial debt and a lack of data and appropriate in-the-field planning & control. This is partly why a shocking 70% of renewable assets don't reach their goals.

There are a lot of big questions for asset owners that often are not adequately answered, such as:

• If you are using an EPC or O&M company, how do you check they are fulfilling your SLA? How do you identify where there are anomalies, and who is in the best position to fix them?

• How do you verify that each of your assets are producing the levels of energy they are supposed to?  How do you correctly associate energy production with your O&M?

• How can you be sure your systems are being cleaned properly? And if you have an automated cleaning system, how do you know if it is working properly?

• What are the correct protocols for operating your renewable energy assets at their best?

For each of these challenging questions, the right answer is the same.

Unlocking Success: Transforming Renewable Energy Management with enSights

Running a successful RE project is a team effort. And just as with a top sports team - a playbook is required, and with that playbook, an operating system is needed to run it. This is exactly where enSights comes in. Our team has a wealth of real-world experience developing and managing RE projects, and creating SAAS solutions that benefit from big data and AI. Combining our knowledge, we have drawn up best practice guidelines for the management, monitoring and maintenance of RE projects. We have also created an operating system to ensure the guidelines are followed - this gives asset owners, managers, and O&M companies the key insights necessary to know that projects are always working optimally, and with this comes long-term peace of mind.

Financial Module

Our system enables financial visibility so that you can stay on top of the sync between energy production and income. If you have a broad ranging asset portfolio, enSights ensures that every asset is profitable not only on the individual level but also on the aggregated level across your portfolio. As well as this, enSights sits comfortably between RE assets and energy companies, automating the verification process of how much energy you supply, against how much you should get paid and how much you actually receive. Likewise, if you are running PPA, enSights checks that payment is correctly received for all power supplied.

Operations & Management

enSights alerts you to any asset that is not performing as expected.  Importantly, the system also gives you the ability to plan and control your manpower in the field and connect them, providing the whole team with the complete picture of any malfunction. This allows you to be spot on with repairs, saving considerable man hours and lost energy production.

Why aren’t you using an operating system for RE yet?

Many RE asset developers focus on sourcing, approving and building new assets instead of first taking proper care of existing ones.

If you are an RE asset owner, manager or developer and you are not using an operating system for your RE projects, we strongly recommend you give enSights a try. Using enSights, you will find out for yourselves just how much more efficiently and productively you can run your project, and with how much less stress.

enSights gives you a clear and robust picture of your whole operation, allowing you time to digest changes within the industry and adapt to them.

By failing to do so, you may be risking millions of dollars and creating unnecessary frustration. Don’t keep your best minds working for your assets, but rather keep your assets working for you.

Let us help you streamline your processes, reach management excellence, and enhance overall efficiency.

With enSights, finances, energy production and O&M are all aggregated and presented as key insights, through efficient and easy-to-use modules.

Our recent case studies show that enSights can help you achieve the following improvements:

• Increase asset production and therefore income by 30%.

• Reduce manpower costs by 60%, while increasing efficiency.

• Eliminate false positives.

Our team will be happy to tailor our solution to your precise requirements, so you get exactly what you need in terms of the dashboard, reports & integration with other software and hardware.
