ArcVera Renewables, NRG Systems and Harness Energy are working together to provide a complete solar resource assessment in the US.
The end-to-end offering will provide project developers with the design, manufacture, shipping, installation and operation of solar measurement systems, including the delivery of independent campaign monitoring and finance-grade resource assessment reports.
It promotes independence in the three main areas of a solar energy assessment – equipment procurement, installation and maintenance and data analysis, the partners said.
NRG supplies integrated and standardised solar met stations for measurements, while Harness Energy offers the installation and ongoing operations and ArcVera Renewables provides independent technical advisory services.
Harness Energy managing director Taj Capozzola said: “ArcVera Renewables is deeply involved in the methodologies and technical rigor required to conduct high-quality met studies and prepare bankable reports.
“What’s more, ArcVera directly performs the important work of daily data quality checking and reporting rather than outsourcing it to silent, third-party commercial partners.
“For all these reasons, we believe that there is a lot of room in the market for a quality, turnkey solar resource assessment solution that removes the main shortcomings of the services currently on offer.”
ArcVera Renewables president and principal engineer John Bosche said: “We are proud to have these two great companies as partners in this venture.
“Harness Energy has a first-hand understanding of the field challenges associated with solar resource assessment campaigns.
“They possess the responsiveness and attention to detail required to successfully carry through met campaign field services.
“As for NRG Systems, they are recognised worldwide as a key supplier of proven, accurate instrumentation and high availability sensors that simplify field deployments and ensure that the necessary data is properly acquired.”
