Testimonials

Will Carleton,
General Manager Solar O&M
Clearway Energy Group

"The equipment has given us monitoring capability to compare soiling levels to generation and helped us determine at what soiling percentage do we engage the contractor so that we don’t have greater generation loss due to contractor scheduling. We can watch the soiling rate and determine ahead of time to schedule the contractor."

“Fracsun's soiling management solution is the first truly complete solution available to the market, and it actually makes managing solar assets easier by using sophisticated software to proactively analyze your data and cost-benefit calculations.”

Cannon Michaels, President
Bowles Farming Company

“Before implementing the ARES solution near an agricultural facility our team had difficulty determining when it was the best time to clean the array. After deploying the soiling monitoring hardware, we were able to see that we weren’t washing enough and we were able to bring cleaning in-house, saving a substantial expense on every cleaning event.”
