The Story

Opportunity

To actively promote clean energy and sustainable development, energy enterprises need to offer users more intelligent photovoltaic management systems.

Clean energy is a crucial driver of the Earth’s sustainable development. SolarPilot is dedicated to becoming a global leader in the energy Internet of Things (IoT) and renewable energy services, leveraging advanced technologies to provide users worldwide with abundant, free solar energy. To enhance intelligent management, SolarPilot has introduced a photovoltaic operation and maintenance management system. This system collects, transmits, stores, processes, and intelligently analyzes data from photovoltaic power stations, enabling managers to predict potential issues, efficiently allocate resources, and implement timely preventive and corrective measures, ensuring effective operation and management.

The photovoltaic operation and maintenance management system integrates with photovoltaic optimizer hardware, enhancing the overall efficiency of solar power generation systems, minimizing power loss between modules, and offering precise data monitoring and fault diagnosis. This technology is vital for both large-scale commercial and industrial solar power plants, as well as distributed photovoltaic systems.

The SolarPilot technical team faces several challenges in developing the photovoltaic operation and maintenance management system. First, ensuring the stability of data collection and IoT connectivity is essential, requiring the integration of intelligent photovoltaic power optimizer products to process vast amounts of operational data. Second, meeting security and compliance requirements is crucial, as users in different regions, including Europe and Australia, must adhere to local data privacy regulations. Therefore, SolarPilot builds its services on a mature, recognized cloud platform to ensure compliance and reliability.

Solution

Using Amazon Cloud technology, we are building globally accessible services and constructing smart photovoltaic power optimizer products for regions worldwide.

The photovoltaic intelligent operation and maintenance system must cater to the diverse needs of different countries, including data compliance, network connectivity, and other requirements. After a thorough comparison of multiple mainstream cloud service providers, SolarPilot chose Amazon Cloud Technology and selected its core partners to provide business and technical support.

Building global clean energy services relies heavily on the support of global cloud service providers. From SolarPilot’s perspective, Amazon Cloud Technology’s extensive cloud infrastructure offers rich services and innovative capabilities, allowing SolarPilot to better focus on its core business. Amazon Cloud Technology provides cloud infrastructure in key regions such as Frankfurt, Germany, and Sydney, Australia. These locations align with SolarPilot’s service areas and offer stable services and low-latency application access for local users, making them ideal for the backend of the photovoltaic intelligent operation and maintenance system. Additionally, Amazon Cloud Technology’s compliance advantages enable SolarPilot to leverage built-in security features, data privacy protection, and authentication, simplifying compliance risks and facilitating rapid global service development.

Amazon Cloud Technology has established mature solutions in the energy industry and the Internet of Things (IoT), assisting numerous energy companies in building cloud-based, data-driven operations. SolarPilot opted to develop smart photovoltaic power optimizer products on Amazon Cloud Technology to quickly achieve data interconnection and analysis capabilities, fostering product innovation. With the assistance of Netsu Technology, a core partner of Amazon Cloud Technology, the SolarPilot team deployed self-developed message middleware using Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) and built a robust database with Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) and Amazon ElastiCache to support data analysis for the photovoltaic intelligent operation and maintenance system. For message acquisition and processing, SolarPilot also deployed self-developed middleware on Amazon Cloud Technology to handle messages from numerous smart photovoltaic power optimizers, enabling unified storage and processing in the cloud.

SolarPilot aims to serve the global market. Therefore, when building its business on Amazon Cloud Technology, SolarPilot engaged Nethost Technology (NT), a core partner of Amazon Cloud Technology, for comprehensive technical guidance and assistance to ensure smooth project implementation. With over 20 years of experience in IT infrastructure operations, NT offers a service matrix and technical capabilities in cloud operation and maintenance hosting, global network interconnection, and content distribution networks (CDN). The technical service team from Nethost Technology provided SolarPilot’s IoT team with expert advice on resource selection, architecture design, and cost control. These professional services facilitated the rapid construction and deployment of applications, allowing SolarPilot to achieve flexible scalability based on user needs.
