New storm tracking research plus enhanced tools to help you protect your solar assets Climate change is causing more extreme weather events like storms and hail that can damage solar power plants and require costly repairs. Join this information-packed LiveCast to learn about new storm tracking research and how you can protect your solar assets against severe weather risks.Hail can break solar panels, which are costly to fix or replace, while wind gusts can loosen or damage panels and their support structures. These weather events can cause system downtime, decreased energy production, and higher maintenance costs. Effective weather monitoring and alerts can help reduce these risks and allow operators to protect their solar assets from severe weather threats.What will we cover?How severe weather impacts solar power plants and better understanding of these phenomena, such as the interaction between hail and windCurrent Vaisala research on how combining lightning with radar data has a big impact on hail prediction, including recent case studiesThe importance of real-time monitoring and location-specific hailstorm forecasts to help operators protect solar assetsHow proactive weather monitoring can mitigate extreme weather event risksDemo of Vaisala’s Xweather Insight platform, which provides instant access to real-time severe weather monitoring and alerts plus new features for hail and wind gust detection, designed to enhance solar power plant protectionCan’t make it?
