PV development requires third-party data support

In recent days, a seemingly grand photovoltaic company selection activity has been criticized by the industry and the media due to the possibility of data fraud. The lack of authoritative and neutral data has even made many award-winning companies frank: “The inaccuracy of the data has led to a very low gold content of this award.”

Inadequate data supervision leads to chaos

Under the circumstances of the country's vigorous development of clean energy, the development of domestic photovoltaics has become increasingly sophisticated and rational. Many problems that have plagued the development of the industry are gradually being resolved, and the lack of national authoritative data platforms and the slowness of update speeds have coincided with the rapid development of photovoltaics. Extremely uncoordinated. At present, the simple and rugged nature of the data collection method in the photovoltaic industry is always stuck in a state of “self-talk”. This reality has masked the development of real data in the photovoltaic industry, and has also increased the difficulty for the country to formulate a photovoltaic strategy. This can be seen from many government reports. Many of the reference information required by the government are mostly cited from foreign authorities. The data.

"Selection and awards" is the most popular activity. Setting different awards based on various data has become the best reason for awarding. In order to meet their own investment and financing needs, some companies are rushing to various awards, and even do not hesitate to purchase prizes through heavy funds. This phenomenon also appears in the current photovoltaic industry. In the long-lasting selection activities, statistical data provided by the voting agencies are lacking. Activity data are provided by the participating companies themselves. It is easy to understand that the declaration data cannot fully guarantee fairness and objectivity. The awards have a large amount of water, and the awards for “paying for money” and even customizing for corporate data are common in the photovoltaic industry. This not only reduces the level of winning companies, but also leads to vicious competition among companies with mixed results.

Third-party trusted data promotes prosperity and rationality of photovoltaics

Loss of data is not a thing of the day, and it is not easy to establish big data. However, the rise of the “Internet +” boom has opened up new avenues for data collection and provided new possibilities for the establishment of an energy Internet big data analysis platform.

A number of domestic energy companies represented by Yuanyuan Energy are quickly building a big data platform for the energy Internet. They have ranked the top three in the field of wind power, and they have completely separated themselves from the manufacturing industry in the photovoltaic industry and devoted themselves to creating authoritative domestic third parties. The path of the data platform circumvents all kinds of ills brought about by "both referees and athletes."

Today, this model has been widely recognized by the industry. The Apollo Photovoltaic Cloud Platform launched by Vision has achieved comprehensive data collection and provided timely supplements for the missing PV industry data. Apollo Photovoltaic Cloud Platform not only acquires data from inverters, but also collects data from weather stations, confluence tanks, DC cabinets, electricity meters, and even directly from strings and components, thus forming a set of data with diversity. It is more reliable than single data and effectively supports subsequent big data analysis mining and value creation. From the photovoltaic power plant planning and design, construction and acceptance, operation and maintenance and asset management to asset valuation and transaction life-time data platform. Provide risk management and control services for investors, perform asset life risk assessment and risk rating for each power plant, and comprehensively evaluate the overall performance of the power plant to determine the potential and potential transaction value of the power plant, and truly solve the industry pain points.

With the Apollo PV TM cloud platform featuring third-party, independent, objective and impartial characteristics, Vision Energy won the "Internet PV Platform Innovation Enterprise" award this year, and it also received support from domestic photovoltaic companies and foreign certification organizations. Major domestic PV companies, Jingao and Zhongtian, have joined hands to develop the Apollo PV TM cloud platform. Among them, since January, Apollo PV TM cloud platform has provided Zhongtian Photovoltaic with centralized monitoring of more than 20 distributed power plants. The cooperation between Vision Energy and TüV SÜD, the international authoritative data agency, has enabled China's PV data to step up to international standards. The Apollo PVTM cloud platform with features such as third parties, independence, objectivity and fairness will use its powerful online big data platform combined with TÜV SÜD's powerful offline testing and evaluation capabilities to monitor and manage its PV power plants. Operation, maintenance, and investment analysis provide more effective value-added services. The reporter learned that Vision Energy and TüV Nande plans to publish the benchmark data of third-party components, inverters and power plant performance in the second half of the year to jointly safeguard the rational development of the domestic photovoltaic industry.
